    I put in £1,910 about half an hour the end.
    Somebody stuck an extra £10 in the last seconds.
    Rats !

    There’s great 77 example of a B2 on EBay just now.
    A missing headlight and front indicators.
    It seems it’s America just now but will be imported, all import money paid.

    Any thoughts on this ?

    Can not get onto gumtree, what I can see doesn’t allow me to put the model in.
    Cheers for info though.

    It turned out the bike is in a shop now, the guy I spoke too was part of the staff.
    I walked away and left it after your advice, may go back later and see if he’ll take a lower offer.

    Thanks for the help.

    Kaptain,
    Yes that looks okay the electric start sounds like it needs some work.
    I’d re spray it to original colour and need a rear grab rail.

    But price not bad.

    Any idea why it was on a sorn ?

    I learned the hard way about electric starters.
    I had a T140 electric, if you didn’t kick it over after it had stood for a few hours when starting up then the electric starter would seize.
    Which killed the engine, even bump starting didn’t help.
    Since the z750 is less higher ratioed, the chances should be slim until you get to high mileages.
    Which after kicking the T140 I’d be more inclined to use the z750’s kick start.

    this is getting real interesting, I’m learning so much.

    must admit I just rode it.
    I didn’t know the engine was over weight, never having to take it out.

    please carry on you’ve got me hooked.

    you got it kap’ain

    I went to one of their gigs, just like that one.
    by the end I wanted to kill the English and put a Scottish king on the throne !
    then I realised I was English so better get out of there quietly !

    reading what you like in your musical taste.
    have you logged onto absolute 80’s web site ?
    there’s a section on the top of the page which says classic rock, after 10 at night it’s all our kind of heavy music.

    got to admit my taste started with the old rock ‘n roll, chuck berry eddie cochran and jerry lee.
    I then moved on to deep purple, Sabbath and hendrix.
    now i’m old I listen too dire straits, chris rea and the like.
    oh I feel old just remembering those days.
    those for a taste for north of the border have you heard the red hot chilli piper doing smoke on the water !
