Thanks guys!!!,she is in really good nick for a 26 year old bike.Shouldnt take too much to get her back on the road.Probably change the wheels to 17 inchers somewhere down the line.Got her for 300 quid so a good deal!,i know they are not as popular as later models.However I am a sucker for the 80s styling.Had alot of 8os bikes, Rg250 x2 one Walther Wolf,750 Slabby,GSXR1100K,RG400,RG500,and a Honda Ns400r(just seen it for sale for 5 grand on Ebay).Cost me 1500 quid ten years ago.Had fzr1000 Exup,400 Exup,Bandit 400,plus other stuff.Just want to get out riding again.Thanks Jim :peace:
