    Agree. I bought a ZXR A non-runner. Pulled the sump plug and about 5 litres of oily petrol came out!

    But as Kiffsta said, you can buy a runner for that money, so I'll go back into a holding pattern for the timebeing.

    Huntsman...that's true. If you tie it to a pallet it will cost bugger all. I sent 3 engines and a box of spares to Perth (from Melbourne) and I couldn't believe how cheap it was!

    I think it's been painted the wrong colour! :p
    Looks good otherwise - if it weren't too far away I'd consider selling the ones I have to buy a working one.

    For what I spent on getting two mine (including getting them here) I could have bought a runner!

    That is usually how it goes Fred. But think of all the fun you will have putting them back together.
    How else were you going to fill in your day, go to the pub and make a mess of yourself? Nah, play with old bikes is much better for you (and may even learn something).

    Then as someone famous once said "to learn one new thing each day will make you a better man than you were the day before".
    I like to do that. :thumb_ups:

    If you mean a popular choice for restoration or pub/cafe racer conversion then I'd say yes.

    They're a nice little single with a kickstart. I grew up on the back of the one in my avatar :)
