Been considering getting another "modern" bike to replace the W650 I've just sold, even considered a NEW Z900RS, but that is a bike that may not ever happen
So after have a trawl thru eBay, found a nice little project to play with - picking it up next weekend......

It's only a T3, so gonna keep it as a cheap café thingy..... only sold me MkII Le Mans as I couldn't justify the money sitting in the garage & needed some cash flow!
This bike is cheap - it runs and even has (allegedly) upgraded cams, pistons, etc. I think it looks cool being a bit of a dog.

UPDATE:Got the old barge MOT'd this morning -
YEEHAAFirst proper run, 20 miles there & back, and YES she made it back under her own steam. Running well with the points (after ditching RITA) and rides really nice.
One issue for MOT was cracked sidewalls on both tyres - been off road for a good 10yrs!
Only operational problem was on last mile home when I gave her WOT (wide open throttle)... she started running on one!!! Well, 1 1/2. Turned out one of the little spacing ferrel thingy's at the throttle grip dropped out, but apart from that it's a great day.

It is a bit - seat is hard too!
Now got a different set of adjustable Ace style bars on it and
a gay smoke screen. Photos to follow
He did give me the option of collecting from either his work or home ....... not paid for it yet
