Bought as project (I paid ??550 for it years ago) ridden for some time and then due to changed personal circumstances has been abandoned for about months. If was still living there would replace front tyre (perished and therefore flat) and MOT it, but I'm not and it absolutely has to go. Please note you will need van or trailer to collect, and you are bidding to buy it, pay for it and take it away. I'm not going to be there until hand it over, so highly unlikely that you will be able to hear it running (but this description is accurate). Check my ebay feedback and take my word for it that it was running when parked it up (or don't!). Also please check feedback as recently sold another of my bikes in the same circumstances and the buyer is happy.
As per photos it needs love but is all there and was running when left. Undoubtedly now has flat battery. Small tear in seat that someone has glued.
New rear tyre. Rear suspension was stripped and regreased. Fork oil and brake fluid was changed. Chain was replaced. All of this was prior to abandoning it.
This has the classic Diversion clutch rattle at tick over (google it and read the forum posts). Smoothes out as soon as you rev it, and if you are mechanically minded relatively easy fix (or just ignore it!)


Clearly it's rusty and tatty, but is dying for someone with the time to make use of it could be really cheap, fun project. No reserve and no buy it now offers either. Don't bid if you don't want it and aren't going to pitch up promptly and remove it.
Paypal or cash on collection following ??50 Paypal deposit. No won't export it to the back end of nowhere or swap it for some magic beans.
In Cheltenham.
