Quickie to help fund the Z.

#1 PostAuthor: octanejunkie » Mon Dec 10, 2012 9:51 pm

Not exactly a Z, but the proceeds will help cover some of the spiralling costs of sorting out my thou.
Bought this Superdream locally. Badly painted black with all kinds of crappy "mods" and trinkets. Not to mention snapped exhaust studs, lethal electrics and popping carbs.
Sound enough underneath though. I used to ride one of these illegally with 125 badges on many moons ago, so i kind of have a bit of a soft spot for them.
Little bikes are so easy to work on too. :wink:

The superdream, must rank among the cx500 class of S****

I remember my brother buying THE ONDA brand new when they first came out,he traded in a damn good Benelli 250 twin ( shite electrics)

He didnt have the onda long :rir

Worst bike he ever had according to him.

Hope someone buys it ( for the sake of the thou)

Thats looking good for a H****.
I think from what i hear,that you should get a good price for a nice example. Im busy painting 2 of the things,one black,the other tanzanight candy blue(nightmare of a job even buying the paint!),and the owner seems to think he's going to get 2.5k back off the blue one! (even with its badly brush painted frame....). 2.5K would go a long way on a zed project. :D
I still think his ideas of the selling price are a touch optimistic,but i shall watch with interest to see how it goes?
Every silver lining has a cloud...
