Comments from the seller

It has been my pride and joy, the first make or model at the time to do 280km/h. I’ve had it to 160km/h inspite of the 220kg gripping the road at the least it was still hairy. This engine runs perfect, the exhaust is still original sound, when it opens up, ears all around are listening to it. Historic registration to April 2027 worth $135.00 rego & club membership your allowed to ride it for 60 times per year. Now if you want to ride it continuously then you will have to revert it to full registration which is no issue but registration and green slip will cost more. Further New tyres, all carburettors overhauled, handle grip warmers and Omni cruise control. Please you need to pay respect to this beast as after 15 years it still scares the hoo doo guru out of me. 4 Cylinders, 16 valves not a ping in it firing perfectly, ask of it and it will give you at your immediate demand. My older age has become difficult to manage it. Giving it up to some body that can appreciate this machine. There are cosmetic damage after some 36 years, hence the price reduction. This machine is like a dog it can’t wait for you to take it out for a ride and it will become more of a machine the more you give it.
