Just got off the phone from old mate selling the bike. sounded like he was out and about and couldnt tell the motor/frame numbers off the top of his head.
reckon he's spent almost double the asking price on the bike as its a resurected crash
Didnt have the metal strips down the side of the seat.
I didnt tell him he was dreaming with the price......I'll let the market do that.
For that money I'd want a low km mint original with  4-2 pipes. that never had a spanner to it other than routine servicing.....not a crashed bike for sure, or am I too fussy.
Now I am being fussy.....no way I'd give him $6500 until he turns the pillion grab rail round the right way either...ruckn frucckn shukn...geez I hate it when people do that :-*

I'm tempted to ask him what the engine and frame number are, just out of curiousity. Might be one of Jonesey's twins siblings.
