Looks like it has come out of the > showroom. and it's not been "renovated" apart from a recent tank and mudguard respray because the striping had gone yellow with age :) It's exactly as it's been for years. Starts 2nd kick. Had it's first ever breakdown in 51 years recently when the magneto ignition coil failed, not bad record for a 51 year old bike! New coil fitted and back to 2nd kick starting. -- Steve Parry 87 BMW R80RS, 03 BMW R1100S Boxercup, 07 BMW K1200GT SE 02 Suzuki DRZ400SY-GT edition, 87 Yamaha FS1, Sukida SK90PY, 91 Kawasaki AR50, 82 Suzuki GN400, BMW 330Ci www.gwynfryn.co.uk
