Featured 1977 T140v

No idea on US prices as they are all over the place, 3000 does not sound bad as one in the UK would be 4 ish, why not ask he will get it running before you buy though.

Welcome to the family. It seems a reasonable deal to me. But like Darkman said it would be nice to hear it fire up. But if you are handy with the spanners and electric knowledge it might be worth the risk. I would to check for good spark and fuel getting to the head as it may simply be blocked carbs or duff plugs if you get really lucky. But try for a reduction in price for a project bike. Also find out some more about the bike live service history and mileage on the clocks.

A T140V for £2200 is a good price as a project over here. I know stuff is a lot cheaper in the States. Even better that he can't get it working but he's happy to give a warranty on mechanicals. Yep, it'd do for me.

 

That looks a good buy at that price. As mentioned above, bikes like it in similar condition are rare over here and fetch strong money. Compared to modern Stuff with ECU controlled everything, bikes from this era are really simple machines to work on. If it has good compression you're halfway home. Mikuni's (and the Amal) are easy to work on and clean and the ignition system easy to fault.

 

Looks a very good price for a T140V.
Carbs look like Mk2 Amal concentric.
Here was me and mine back in 1976.

 

buy now.

think later.

if it turns with or without compression and clicks through tbe gears its worth that money.

 

gas tank is ok and correct for export-model bonnie; why you wanna get rid of it? or is it rusty inside and leaky?

 

and remember this if you approach 50
