    Thumbs down Value for money

    Its maybe just ok valuewise if all the work has been done professionally. I'm guessing it hasnt and therefore its pretty a dubious purchase proposition. There is much out there that is better value than this old girl.

    Just a thought:

    If a bike has been rebuilt by a motorbike workshop, what's to say that they didn't get the fresh, young apprentice to work on it who had never rebuilt a motor in his life? Does that happen?

    Sometimes if someone has done something out of passion for a hobby, they spend a lot more time and care with it then a shop would - and could potentially do a much better job.

    I think it's swings and roundabouts either way.

    Happy to be told otherwise (I also like the look of the GPZ, but couldn't recommend either way as relatively inexperienced on such matters)
    When the great beyond is headed for you, you feel it coming.
