No Sir. IMO that junior super-six oozes cool from every mis-matched component.
The gash worn seat, TLS front brake, neatly-tucked under battered spannies, alloy rimmed wheels.

The seller gets it too..

'be awesome to just clean/service and use as is'


Mind you - we all love a Fantic chopper (or in Helkat's case a frantic chopper)

I'd go out on that Fantic if I had he chance. Wonderfully loony bit of kit from the days when 16 year olds had a choice of mad machinery.

Yes, it says it's been restored, but meh, how sad must you be to restore one of these?

I wouldn't describe it as majestic (or in the original spirit of the thread) but I don't dislike that, there's a few things I would do differently, but it's not dissimilar to an idea that's been rattling round the old brainbox for a while now.

Well, that and that chopper monstrosity at the bottom of pg 5. I always thought sissy bars were to give your bimbo pillion a false sense of security. That thing is hideous, and unless the bimbo is also the rider, serves no apparent purpose.

I am sorry mate but that looks like scrap to me Embarassed .

Fair play, it seems absolutely anything will sell on eBay as long as it has two wheels and somewhat resembles something that could have been a motorcycle at some point. Seems a good way to punt your scrap for way beyond scrap prices.

Getting things back on track, I think it would be ludicrously overpriced at 15k, but still, to me, the perfect 90's motorcycle.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203848427988?hash=item2f765029d4:g:BEIAAOSw3nViHoK9

V4, that late 90's Honda styling, HRC Factory trickness from stem to stern. I don't care that the RC30 was much more successful. God it's beautiful.

I think it looks very solid.


Those valve adjuster covers are very curious...

Ah yes but that's because you are 'nouveau biker' with no history or appreciation of what went on in the 70s (harsh but fair) . Rebuilt in period style that could be worth several 1000s - trust me on this one. Wink

Seems like it's a bit of a thing. You can still buy a variant on this theme..

That's a bit harsh Laughing , especially considering it has a nice mirror so you can check your knee.
