    No its not quite as shinny but pretty decent for all original bike going on 50 year old.
    then again its never been polished.
    There is a complete 350/4, Not 100% original but mostly as it has a 400/4 exhaust. it has a spare engine and at least one set if not two sets of inards. Plus a brand new frame. Some tanks side covers and random bits.
    The 350/4 would be a fun town bike. All noise no action. Much like the National party.

    I had a blue one too.
    i thought you had said you had one.
    It looks like value for money compared to the 750.

    How's the health and the new house going.

    That's like a Vincent with a Flux Capacitor.

    Spot the obvious continuity issue.

    Skidmark would be pleased mind you.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Well they never came in that colour, the decals aren't correct, reservoir shocks groan blah. 45k who are they kidding its a complete fake.
    Plus that Teatowel over the plate isn't standard.

    I'd change the tank stripes and sidecover black. I can't obviously afford it but I can dream.

    Pretty sure I read somewhere that around 50% of all "900 SS" are fakes. Just another one.

    I think it looks better than a real MHR. ( Drew may stole my log in. Nah shit i really do, if it only had spoked wheels)
    Always hated boxy Darmah and MHR styling.

    We seem to have more than our fair share of optimistic investors up here in Kerikeri.
    I bet it'll still be on Tardme this time next year at the same price.

    That explains why so many convert 750GT and SS round cases to look like Darmahs
    Then again none are quite as fine a a peanut tanked GN.....

    I think the popular vote goes to the SS being the prettiest Ducati (ok pre 916) , I'd certainly fake one if that is what Seriously wanted and had the funds.

    . . . Then I'd put a dirty big 2 stroke in it, pull the steering rake in like 5 degrees, throw the frame away and start again. And I'd paint it that exact same shade of Yellow. . . but enough about my problems.

    Sue me but I would rather have two GTS1000's or those Paul Smart replicas as a bike to ride. And if buying purely for "investment" it is way too exepnsive.

    Admission. I have a couple of nice classics in my Kerikeri shed which I actually ride (when I can get the old buggers started).
    Considering moving them on in favour of a little CRF300L or similar but when I do, they'll be at a realistic price.
    I don't plan on featuring in this forum

    Ok Jeff Stokes at 492 Wadsley St trading as IvorBigun on TM. When you sell your CX500 Custom we are going to be merciless.




    . . . Ok that may be entirely fictitious.
