Optimistic sellers

[jasonu]

To my mind not a bad buy, but why don't sellers get a WOF and take better photos with decent description.
Whist the seat may be comfortable it does not exactly enhance the look.
Is that the infamous 16" wheel?, were they really that bad?

Looks like a big fat pile of gutless dago crap.

I'm not usually a fan of all this nostalgic crap, as there is usually far better performance and reliability elsewhere.

But Kenny Roberts is a name everyone knows and that is a very special bike. When compared with the fukwit selling his so called brand new 1979 Honda dirt bike for $80k, or what ever he was dreaming at the time, there is far more substance to this opportunity.

So yes, I think it is worth it

Square headlight, 100% not worth.

Seen one with a round headlight?

You're losing your touch.

Still waiting for a mate to sell me his in his lounge room. But he's just bought a 3MA Frame for it.

Actually I saw a replica of the road bike last night. Didn't have a square headlight. Or any lights. Maybe it would be called a RoadReplica.
Apparently they sold the spare carbs for 50k.

It's not in regards to that bike specific. Just square lights in general, so god damn ugly.

Wonder where the filleting station is?

is that not what all the timber round the outside is for

[AllanB]

I don't know man - not keen on the price. And as a investment the second one was a bad one looking at his 'spent' costs.

The Pus-o was incredible when it came out. Spaceship.

In retrospect no more futuristic than the CBR600 Jellymould, that kinda ruined it.
Time has not done it any favours.

Now regarded as a quasi lemon, it's not a 750 F1.

Good luck. You bought the wrong bike.

I remember a couple being raced when the Puso came out. Not well, a bit like watching truck racing.
As a model, it's probably contributed more forks, brakes and engines to Ducati specials than any other...

Mmmmmm 750 F1 - there are a couple on TM $20k and $55k. Quite yummy.

The Paso had a weird car carb if I remember - Webber. Did not run properly from the factory.
