Hmmm, a bit of a  'pig in poke' isn't it. About top dollar I would say - not running hasn't been started ::); needs resto :P.

They are a pretty thing though...... ;) :)

Interesting, it has a, non-standard, non-Monty, kicker on it.

Does anyone recognise it? I've offered up an Yammy RD250 kicker and it looks about right, if a little long.

Hmmmm. Probably would end up a top Pre 75 bike if you had the patience. Is that the right tank Jared?

Looks right to me. The '73.5 'improved' V75 had the tank bolted from the top - I think :P.

(I'm thinking that kicker is AT/CT1).

It's a 73' model for sure.  Has a later motor.  Early models had straight fin cylinders.
No clue on the kicker, but it looks like the splines match (maybe)

I didn't think it would take you guy's long to find my Monty. It needs a good home.

how much for the ute

I was really worried about using those pics because I thought I would get more offers on the ute than the bike.  I can't even go to swap meets anymore without getting chased down by people wanting my ute. I was thinking about putting a Not for sale sticker across the back window.
