If you do get if Kris, I'd happily take a few bits off you...that rear undertray has got my name on it!

(Happy to do a 50/50 with you for parts!)

LOL, you say that but you haven't seen it! It'll want for every seal, every panel, indicators, a whole front exhaust system (OK he has the original and race cans), etc. etc. etc. to make it good just enough to use as a hack.
If you want it for a rat bike, then I "might" let you off, but even then it'll want a lot of work. And that's not considering the electrical fault.
If it's really in the hoverport carpark I can take some high(er) res pictures of it, I pass within 500m on my way home.
If it's lived there in the open every day for 2 years or more, then it's had a lot of salt sprayed on it, you want to see how much the hovercraft kicks up when it comes in and goes out, not to mention being with 100m of the sea anyway.

I Agree it's a total shed but a full strip and the shit parts replaced and restored you got a good bike.

Matt will keep you posted

How did that get an mot to be near a road?

A lot can happen in a year. Maybe (probably, judging by the jaunty angle of the end can and the rather special fairings) it's been dropped on the left in the ice which did for the exhaust. Indicators held on with tape? Shit but passable. Dodgy panels? Same. MoT only tests to a (bare) minimum standard of roadworthiness at the time of presentation, nothing more than that.

Seriously I advise anyone here against buying it, the engine is going to be knackered, it won't have had an oil change in yonks.

I get the distinct feeling your probably bidding on this yourself I think we are all capable of making a decision on whether to buy or not.

I will take my chances

Looks a shed to me, some one on here buy it then start a new thread on it's re-build.
I dont see any profit in it but could be the basis of a project.

Get some pics up for us any way, Ibby, you should have gone to spec savers....

hmmm, that looks like a hell of a mess. is it really worth over £300?

Undented rwb tank
Uncut undertray
Uk spec motor
Rear reg light

That's over 300quid alone!
