If you are going to ride it, get a spare set of crankcases, my 450 collapsed the whole crankcase behind the clutch basket after 6 months use from new.

Awesome showroom bike though!

The bike has done a season with out a hitch. I am well aware of the gearbox problems as I did own one in 1981. However I have fixed that problem by inserting a steel ring around the main clutch shaft bearing which gives it the extra strength it needs. This is a very reliable bike. By the way Johnny o thanks for alerting everyone to that problem whilst trying to sell it. Lol
