Should be pics here now. It either needs riding the way its designed to be ridden in its current state or someone with some time and bodyskills to make it pretty again.

So how does revving it to the red line cold (you had to turn the choke off when it died after) and spinning up the rear wheel in your shed make it worth more??

1.I hit the kill switch to show the engine started from warm (it was warm by the way check the gauge).
2.It didn't die
3.Did it once hit the rev line?
4.And the spinning tyre was because when I first got the bike it wouldn't rev or pull though the gears at all (the bike wasn't in roadworthy state at that time hence in the shed not on the road)
It might not make it worth more any more but I'm not really fussed I haven't decided if I'm even selling it or not

Captured from your video, clipped and rotated. Note temp dial.
and 16 seconds later, close enough to the red in my view.
I'll let everyone else decide who was correct and say no more on the subject.

went its cold the needle sits below the block as when the ignition is off.
Anyway I don't give a fuck what you think tbh I'm not even sure what the point in my bothering to post this topic at all.
Good night
