I am certainly interested. I already have most of the parts to complete it  ;D. Hopefully the price will not go crazy and hopefully the frontend assemble is no indication of other work on the bike  ::) The gearbox has been dismantled and piled in a box so much for the shim setup :'(

The crank does not look to healthy either. No airbox :-\ The flywhhel has also been left without the stator inside or a 'keep' so the ignition may not work.

They're called trailing axle forks.Super tight turning.I think they were testing them at the end. Must be a works bike ;)

If the airbox is the same as the VB it's available out of USA in fibreglass. Can't see the kicker. What I do see seems weather effected - rust?

It should be a $500 (everything has to be checked/restored) bike but probably go for $1000. It will be interesting to watch (but I won't be competion ;) :P).

Is that a pixie of the actual barrel? That's a good sized gouge there :o.

And yeah, I need to get focused ::). But at $200 I would be sorely tempted :-[.

I think you have to think about what bits you have aquired over the years that could make the bike good again at not to much money,if its going to cost an arm an aleg then leave well alone.The bits i have have been built up over 35 years most of them unintentionally at not too much expence  ;D ;D

$761

Pretty decent price without being outrageous. I reckon it will be a great and interesting bike once restored. Did anyone here win it?
