True very nice,but some things dont add up ie the claim about original tank decals on the bike when they are clearly perforated plus the footpegs are aftermarket.But its a great bike dont get me wrong!!!

Gidday all this bike was originally built by Simon Healey he spent over 10k on it around 8 years go completely restored from top to bottom, then I purchased it from him, i raced it in viper for a couple of years then did a deal with big k traded it for another bike, it went to Corey, he then on sold it to the current owner and yes I put the perforated stickers on it they were from the usa when I sold the bike, bloody quick bike as well, unfortunately the current owner is full of shit here is a photo when I owned the bike one distinguishing part that simon hand made was the white rear shock reservoir adaptor for the wp rear shock and the wheels excel rims were built by lightfoot engineering in box hill, he couldn't lie straight in bead, in our current bike price state he wont get anywhere near that price, Bear

Nice looks like a lot of work has been placed in the restoration , but how much would it be worth in the  real world . Like the 15k SC500 or the 7k Dt3 there must be some dreamers out there .
