    One of the mechanics at the local Honda shop used a GB400 for his fairly lengthy rural commute. It was probably more economical than exciting but it did the job.

    This isn't an optimistic seller, it just sorta popped up on Facebook. It's Trumph engine in a Greeves frame, a Grumph. Thought it could appeal to someone hereabout?

    An Aussie bike mag got 120MPG out of a similar era Xl250 with computing at open road speeds

    Nah. I built something similar to commute on back in the 80's. RM370 chassis with a GS400 twin inserted. The commute was ChCh to Lyttelton and a trailiie gave the option of tunnel or over the hill - including using the Bridle Path a few times for laughs.
    The 400 was probably gruntier than that Triumph. It was a genuine 100mph trail bike.

    But it wasn't a Grumph.

    You'll have to explain that. It has a wheel at every corner and apart from a lurid colour appears like every other shopping cart. Is this somehow special? Or is it just some tired old man thinking his poxy shitbox is worth a lot.
    Sorry being a motorcycle forum we could be a bit ignorant.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    They are pretty in that colour of a sunny day. Minus all that black shit probably covering scratches.

    Can't believe this pos is still on for $2.5k after all these months, or is it years?

    I mean what the fuck is it trying, and failing, to be?
