Seen this on fleaBay. Want to get into mechanics and specifically on bikes. Good Buy for £175? Maybe get him down to £100? Very Happy But would I be able to get a cylinder head or coil?

Cheers,
Fnatic.

mmm, its basically a zx4 engine, steel frame,
so its gunna be tough finding parts for it.
if i were you i would look either for a more popular 4 cylinder, or a parallel twin,
even a single, but you have the added confusion of counter shaft balancers,
i'd give that one a miss

id go for this
the klr has a very solid engine, good internet back up,
and have been produced basically unchanged for 20 odd years,
plus there is 2 of them, and enduros alway fetch a good price reguardless of age

If it needs a head I would think why and what else it needs.
How much will the gaskets cost.?

Cheers for the advice. Just seemed really appealing as it's about 3 milels from where I live.
