Hoping to add this little bike to my garage
It appears to be in good nick - under 40k miles and the price is right
well it is one of the ugliest bikes ever made!!! Hoping to collect it in a few weeks time.
Last of the original SOHC motors and ready for a bit of the
cafe racer treatment

Well at least it's not a 550
Actually, I wouldn't mind another CB550 like I had when I was a lad with ace-bars. It was, er, Ace!

Seems pretty original & being what it is, it won't set the world alight, but it will do what it's supposed to do and should be very reliable.
Gets my vote!
There again, most big bikes from the 70's look good to me!

I would have preferred a "K" model - but they're more expensive - and this is near enuff

UPDATE: (
not that anyones particularly interested )
Picked the bike up Monday - Uk Kev travelled over to the IoW with me & Paul (the seller).
It's been sitting in a shed and last on the road 2 yrs ago...... it just about started - so I bought it
Had a bit of spare time today and cleaned the plugs, trimmed the HT leads, drained old fuel out and put a fresh gallon in.... and she runs
Runs a bit rough - carbs need a good clean and its a bit rattley, so gonna take carbs off & check cam chain adjustment
Probably just needs a
damned good thrashing
