[QUOTE] I have recently been considering the merits of an XJR1300, but have decided on a different unfaired Japanese motorcycle instead. An old one - which will not be used for commuting.[/QUOTE] *Perk* CB750F2?[/QUOTE] No, the one I asked for a valuation on whilst you were following in the footsteps of Pizarro. This one: "T reg Silver 1000Z. New original seat cover, Marving exhaust, Rickman bars, toolkit, Rickman rear carrier & new battery. Full service by club tech advisor and all MOT's and history. 35,000 miles" [QUOTE] Actually, that reminds me - are you still interested in the Benly for Chimay? 'Cos it's got new head races and a spanking new MoT now.[/QUOTE] That will depend on whether the current owner of the above item[1] ever picks the 'phone up. <taps fingers> Possibly, otherwise. Then again, the KH500 has an MOT till Aug 6th. But I want to sell it. [1]That's not the Benly, to avoid confusion.
