Optimistic sellers

Personally I think the parallel twin is a hideously ugly motor. And having been down the road of having been able to own the last of the Bevels and had mates with Darmahs & one seriously hotted up 500 Pantah I'm glad to have had that experience in the days when one could cane the crap of them without fear of if it broke parts weren't unobtainium. The MHR wasn't worth the hassle but in big open country on song it was a drug all by itself and the Pantah through a big helping of goodies from Brook Henry was an absolute blast

I still lust after Rutters TTF2.

I've got the article on that somewhere and the Bob Brown bike as well
But a well sorted Pantah is a fucking ball

I have a few on Brown including when it had the std pantah frame as Magoo used to race it originally, Plus the replica he built.
Post what you have in multi cylinder Racebikes and I will dig out what I have.

Hells teeth, 2 bids over 8k and not at reserve?,!

I particularly liked, "The motor looks to have been worked on". Still, there's nearly fifty people watching.

All the bolts and screws are rounded off .......

I sold my one for $1200 But it was considerably newer back then and standard bar the dumbarse holes an 18yr old drilled in the airbox. Yeah I get they go up in value, but like it wasn't a particularly good bike.
Way too heavy for a skinny kid when I took it near the dirt. Felt grunty around the suburbs, but Asthmatic on the motorway. Brakes? well. . .

if you have the cash, I could hook you up with Trevor Nation's TTF1 Harris (Harris built copy of the TTF2 with which was fitted with a Rising rate rear suspension), RG forks, Dymags, including 16 inch front. Is in a friends shed in the UK and nearly finished a rebuild.....

Not bad for a 4 stroke.,

From what I read the other day the Harris and another builder that I can't recall plus the better known and sought after VERLICCH were all official suppliers of official F1 and F2 frames.
Not sure if its true but I understood Ducati have not made frames for a long long time. bevel at least.
F1 engineering and Stu Whyte (not sure re spelling) used to build copies here
I don't have that kind of cash but the F1 was a bridge to far and never really completive was it?
But Who has the NZ BMS "streetfighter" version.

"..and hasn't been spruced up just to sell."

Apparently sprucing up means washing the dirt off to make it more attractive to potential buyers.

There must be a lot of new collectors expecting these to appreciate ... in 20 years time we can ridicule them for the very stupid prices they try to resell them at ..

At least it's honest ...
