8.5K with rooted starter-motor, oil-leak and lovely shoddy engine paint,  the dude ain't just dreaming he's in a coma with it,  looks like no rev-counter either,  bugger that.  Guess it must be the red spark-leads that are worth the extra 7K.  And those protruding forks ridiculous it'll be twitchier than a shopping trolley.  And a claim of "hotter" cams sounds dodgy as well,  what type bloody cams are they then??  Blah, where do these people come from lol

to quote a movie.....tell him he's dream'n.
The M7 is probly the only place you could ride with the front lowered like that, she'd scrape any where on a typical NSW road
8500 for a bitsa........nuh. drop a zero and put a 1 in front maybe more realistic

I've owned this bike for almost 5 years now & really don't want to sell it but need to buy a second car so here it is.

I bought it off a retired mechanic who re-built the top end including a hotter cam which really increases the mid range. He also upgraded the front brakes including braided lines.

Mechanically it's very sound. I use it to ride to work most days (weather permitting) from Kellyville down the M7 & has never missed a beat. Starts easily all year round & doesn't blow any smoke whatsoever.

In the last 12 months it's had:

* new battery
* new front wheel bearings
* new spark plugs & leads
* new DYNA coils
* K&N pod air filters
* new rubber intake ports

It will need new brushes for the starter motor soon & it sweats a bit of oil around the cam cover gasket but I've been assured that's somewhat 'normal'.
