Offered from a private vendor who purchased it in 1994, becoming the 8th owner, it has been enjoyed riding throughout warm summer months as the vendor admits, he's a warm weather rider! Upon purchasing the Honda, it was noticed that a leak was starting to form on the petrol tank so a new fuel tank was sourced and fitted and repainted into the red/white/blue colour scheme which eventually followed for the rest of the bike. Another issue arose in the camshafts, which failed the following year after purchase, through perseverance and luck a new engine with low mileage (6,300 miles!) was sourced and fitted together with carburettors, exhaust collector box/downpipes and main stand which also fitted to the bike. A very comprehensive ownership history is offered with the history file (perusal highly recommended), it is also offered with a current V5C, expired MoT's, invoice for petrol tank and spares. It should be noted that the replacement Front and Rear Wheels (complete with tyres) in Gold to match the existing Rear wheel are offered with the bike.
