I agree it will always cost money with any second hand bike, because after all nobody sells a bike in peak condition. I have time to do the work and enjoy fixing old bikes. Never spent more than £650 on a bike. Non runners are the best as typically the fault is electrical, and for some reason electrics freak people out so they sell perfectly good bikes that are cheap and easy to fix. Rarely can you drive a large capacity bike hard enough to kill the engine. Hence my growing collection, collectively bought for less than the price of a 916.

Ducatis are worst for potential muppetry in my opinion though as there aee so many supposed expert dealers out there who don't have a clue what they are doing! With older Jap bikes it tends to be crap grounds and burnt out electrics or knackered cam chains and tensioners let go too far

Got my boy who is 8 a mobylette cady for £52........got to teach them on something!

I have a tool kit for a 907, I'm asking about £900.00 for it. Mind you for that price there is the bike to go with it. It's a clean 92 model with 32000 miles on the clock. I've owned it for five years. I need a lighter bike, my back is not what it used to be.

Only a gentle one. The Ducati really is up for sale!

Back on ebay due to timewaster, I'm bidding on it for a friend of mine who's honeymooning at Mugello that weekend.
It was registered exactly 20years before his wedding, A good omen? £800 already with a week to go!

Post a link would you 900streetfighter
Yeah of course we can all find it but it'd just be quicker for some of us (muppets) . . .
