Was offered a 2000 model Derbi Denda Supermotard SM 50 for a hundred quid. It was sat under a tree in a garden and looks to have been stood a while. Am currently overhauling the engine (awaiting parts) and have already stripped and painted the frame and reconditioned every part before refitting. Is currently back to a rolling frame. I paid £100 for it with a V5 and a spare engine. I have had to replace almost nothing other than gaskets, piston and crank bearings. Does £100 seem like a bargain? Confused

Search Auto Trader for working bikes under £100. Yes it was a bargain. If thats all that needs replacing, give it a scrub and a coat of ACF 50 and your away. Thumbs Up
