It looks like it has more hits than Elvis, wrong front end and IMO a bit over priced but could be a very interesting bike with 3K to 4k spend on it

I have bought bikes from Dave and been happy with my purchase and again this gem says allot about his odd ability to find odd bikes.
IMO if I had one of these rare bikes I would like to it original not some parts bikes again this is just my OP but without all original parts I think there worth allot less, whilst the Maico front end being great I just dont feel the love here. I do like Dave's optimistic view that the Tank can be repaired. He does not say what it can be repaired too thou hopefully more than a bashed coke can.

sound like you ozzies are getting pretty picky. anything can be fixed!! it is a cool quite rare bike so has value . there arnt many and the are not making any more , if its you buy it , if its not don't bitch about it down. Price is not bad , especially if it was Kiwi dollars ;D
If in doubt ,WIND IT OUT
