An old Monty friend

I think this bike was subject of ebay and discussion before. Nice bike, well worth the $2500 ask IMHO. A pity I've got too many projects at the mo, otherwide I think I would be heading off to Ballarat.

Don't know whats going on with that VB. A mate has made a couple of decent offers, but the seller says he has had offers in excess of $2,600, yet the advertised price is $2,500 and it's still for sale. The seller now says he will put the bike to auction with a starting bid of $2,500. Seems a bit odd to me.

Yeah as Big K said I know someone that offered close to the asking and he said I mean like 50 short, It is almost as if there is something wrong with it. Sounds dodgy to me. I would have thought it would of been defently snaped up by now!!!!!!

It reads like its now 414cc too. My guess is that it just has a 414 piston probably taking it to 360-370cc. I doubt a 414 top end would work on 360 bottom end (must surely be longer stroke)

Would I be right 390-Ross/BigK/cappra?

Ross,
So what is the bore & stroke of the 414? I was guessing bore was about 85mm. Am I close?
