Ok he's not being optimistic as it is auction from low value starr.
But cmon, knock yourself out with effort to take some pictures not where it is abandoned, or try jump start it. It might be a runner and be worth double.

In one of the pics it almost is a double.

Was running perfectly and in mint condition, so figured the best thing to do was stuff it in a sweaty box for 5 years, then don't even bother to get it back out to take photos.Originally Posted by F5 Dave
Consolation points for keeping the rego on hold though, there are many who don't bother, and thusly make their half arsed unfinished project even harder to get back on the road.

Price maybe not that optimistic, other than dead rego and a frame that's been hacked about that the cert man isn't going to like, was probably a perfectly functional motorcycle before that.
Would be on cheap 40+ rego now too.

I borrowed one to do the Brass in late 90s.
With pipe and jets drilled it took at lot of messing to solder and refilling mainjets to a workable size so it would run well enough. Hitachi jets weren't available off the shelf. See those k&n copies? Good luck making the changes to suit those as you really need air bleed jets and needles. Boo.
Despite good tyres and new swingarm bushes it was a dreadful handling bike.

Why?
Why CAPITAL mk2 cortina diff/axle when it's got 5 studs and other stuff that's clearly not, why the trailing arms when it's got no springs, why put the battery there, why.........so many questions

Ford at least on the cortina figured out it was necessary to line bore the cams tunnel and use a higher grade of chocolate for the camshaft.

Cortina Diff does not automatically mean Cortina 4 stud axles.
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

Golly that is a lot of coin for a fairly uninspiring bike. The more you look the less standard it is. Would cost truckload to put it back if that is what you had a boner for.

Buy bike. Put trendy cafe racer or brat seat on. Get on the road. Sell on trade me cos it is horrible to ride now and you have cut original seat mounts off.
