Am currently looking at one of these, the model with the "project big1" written on it [God only knows why...]
I can get it for a very reasonable price :yes:
What should I be looking out for? As far as I know these still have the NC23E motor and run gear driven cams and punch out a cute 52-3hp.
What blows up on them? I have only heard of tachs failing and speedos dying (Meh...)
This one will need new pads (Yawn, 45min with a beer or twenty) and has grazing on the RHS crankcase cover, so no real biggie.

Not at the moment, have no license Cough...shhhhh
I quite like the look of them, especially the later ones with the reservoirs on the rear shocks :love: Kind of retro....
It should look good with a spit and rub and what not. :sunny:
If all goes well I shall purchase the wee beastie and play around and get it on the road by mid-november.
