Now that does look like it’s been used as a “Boat Anchor”!
Was trying to see what there was economically salvageable, but not sure if there is enough.

Frame still has an ID with DVLA so you could use it as a base for a special.

Engine.....

Carbs.....

Swing arm and rear wheel. Front end (although forks are Jolly Rogered) could help with a running gear up grade maybe.....


Or a very brave resto! :lol: :lol:

thats a brave restoration, but, its cheap enough. lets face it, if youre buying to restore, then youre likely to strip it to powdercoat and paint first anyhow, so its not that big a deal if its tatty. frame seems to be mostly surface rust, tanks has almost certainly had it, but stainless exhaust and metmachex swingarm are worth having. engine is only a 750 so its more than likely bin fodder anyhow. ive seen folks pay more for a lot less.
