    Despite the constant run of people telling him they are not original they still claim they are, with no provenance.

    Someone must have done a print run of those at some point, pretty sure I've seen all of them at various times in different places, most of which they wouldn't be if they were genuinely old and valuable. Usually alongside similar posters for the Austin 7 and Model A Ford lubrication chart.

    well it would be completely impossible to decide who had posted anything unhinged like that here.

    Except when all you get is this. Seat is new and, um, trendy. It doesn't fit mind. But then, there's the tank that's been repainted. But doesn't really suit, or fit.
    The rust has been painted over, there no pipes, actually not much of anything else.

    I'm thinking of what you could do with $1000.
    that is NOT a 125T engine...

    I'll bow to expertise. It had too many cams, (ie. More than zero) valves, rockers and whatnot to maintain any sort of interest.

    So what is it? It's neither beast(sic) nor fowl.

    So you've started up a 400 import. But the front looks from another era.
    It's kinda asking for RWU forks or for the styling to be updated. As it is. . . Um.
    32k? Bud. It's not an RG500.

    For $32k I would insist on RWU Ohlins forks, Dymags (era correct) and BremBO brakes, not some shitty off-brand.

    It is on my watchlist though just to see how many times it rolls round.

    It's a typo, the pic and LVTA plate shows Brembo.

    If you're asking that much for an odd hybrid which is neither Rg400 or 500, you'd at least proof read the bloody ad.

    To be fair, maybe he does have a rare set if Bremcos and it is LVTA's typo. Took them three attempts to still get the LVV plate almost right on my RG hybrid . Yes I do have one, but mine would kick that ones arse. And I'd never expect to get 32k.

    Possibly, if only the manufacturer also made a typo on the actual caliper too.

    No ones perfect, and if he hadn't made that typo we wouldn't have had half as much to discuss about the ad haha!
