Very nice condtion. > It really needs a ped slicer for authenticity. no it's not really been restored, it's pretty much original, he's recently had the mudguards and tank repainted as the striping had started to yellow with age. He has the front number plate but it used to sit under the front headlamp not in the mudguard Although it doesn't show in the pics the clutch lever is attached to the throttle as my uncle only has one arm after losing his left arm in a mining accident. It's never stopped him riding bikes though his last large bike being a K75S. When he had the K75S the R69 got tucked away in the back of the garage and cleaned and serviced once a year. -- 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
