Edit: Now gone
I'm not going to lie, it needs work but could be a project for someone, so I'm offering it here before I call the breakers. It's been standing for 2 years.

Known problems:
- It won't start, but I think that's just because it's been standing for so long.
- The battery won't hold charge. I have a spare battery and a charger, I suspect it's the reg/rec but I haven't confirmed.
- Starter won't work, on account of the battery issue. I have had it working from a fully charged battery, but it's probably going to want taking apart and cleaning
- Chrome is rather rusty
- Tear in the seat
- Rear tyre is quite flat - no idea if this is a slow leak or just because it's been standing for so long.
- Fuel gauge doesn't work
- Drivechain is slightly worn as per MOT (I can't actually recall if I replaced this after the MOT or not, but the chain will definitely be rusty by now)
- Slight play in front wheel bearings. I'm pretty sure I've got replacement bearings somewhere, but no idea how to fit them.
If you've got a trailer to come and pick it up from Stoke on, you're welcome to it. ____________________ Current Bikes: 1983 Honda VF400FD / 2003 Honda VT750 Shadow
