    " the motor was running fine "

    Until it stopped locking the back wheel.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    The XZ rode like a slug too. I had to be very diplomatic when a friend bought herself a new one and insisted I ride it.
    The SV bottom end is the weak point when ya start getting decent performance.

    The current Yamaha 650 twin seems quite good though. Wonder if it runs 270° crank. Google...

    My mistake. Its 689cc

    That's probably more than I got for mine in the 90s and mine was in nice original nick.

    Was shocked to my core this morning. Dani Pedrosa posted on the 'Net that he is enjoying his retirement and is building himself a "cafe racer". And yes fukitol - it's one of those. Pity, with a little extra effort it would've made a nice flat tracker.

    It does have a 750cc Honda two stroke engine though.

    I can't remember many Honda 750cc 2 strokes. As in none at all off hand.

    He has had pro help with the build and I assume Honda would be nice to him if there was some old engine laying about that nobody wanted.

    86 watchers, 43 bids, reserve met, and yet one of the questions is (drum roll please) does it come with both wheels?

    This isn't optimistic selling. This is optimistic buying. Well spotted Laava!

    Ah, it's a CR500. You can get kits to take then to 585 and even 640cc.

    That sounds to have a certain excitement potential?

    Is that decent performance? Circa 100hp is quite useful. That said my now aging Street Triple puts out 96 on a conservative dyno with just a pipe. To be fair has the advantage of 25cc and another cylinder. But a mild Daytona makes mine look a bit pathetic.

    However it is a std roadbike. And doesn't claim to be trick anything let alone a race bike.

    Then again say a hot RSV twin racer, I guess 160? Scaled down that's 104. Suppose that makes some sense.

    Not a bike - but the asking price would buy a decent one.
