Did someone post about a dodgy ebay seller in Derby ?

Alarm bells to me Andy

 

Only way is to view and personally speak to the seller, he seems to honest about the bike and not offer any guarantee's what so ever.
He says he's not even run it, so worth taking a battery & 1/2 gallon of go juice.
Bike does look to have had a hard life by the look of the fork stantions and clutch case etc.
£999 seems to be may be top end for a spares/repair?

 

Well he has good feedback and if you look at his seller feedback he seems to be dealing in bike parts, mainly Honda.

That's either a good thing or, he bought the XBR500 with a view to getting it going then selling it on but has found that there's something expensive wrong and he wants rid.

As already said the only thing to do would be to take a battery and some go juice and see if it runs. As always with fleabay you taking a chance. Personally and at that price I'd leave it.

 

@andypandy, thought you liked your bandit? Eric

 

Fancy a grey import 250/4 katana needing work?

 

One of the lads nearby also has a MuZ skorpion tour semi complete??

 

he wants cash so no come back through ebay

 

After I gave up looking for a 60s Triumph to restore I started looking at other project bikes. Like you I considered the Yam XS650, mainly because it was a nod to the old Brit bikes.

However, what was rapidly climbing to the top of the list was the Honda CL450 scrambler style, all of them seen to be US imports. I'm not sure that particular model was ever sold in the UK?

This one is currently on fleabay.

I still keep looking at them.........

 

Some one bought it for £1075!
