As the title says. I've posted this question on the 750turbo forum with no response.
Is anyone familar with this bike please ?
It's 250 miles from sunny Yorkshire and i'd like any opinions or knowledge you guys may have of the bike before i get into meaningful dialogue with the owner... There's not much info being given.
Thanks gents

Only recently got my first Turbo, but from my Ltd Knowledge.......

The Anti-Dive system has been removed (Ok,quite common)

Not sure what happened to the black plugs in the top of the side panel (see mine below)

Not sure if the levers are correct (adjusters?).

Turbo and/or pipework been worked on as they have incorrect Jubilee clips. Same goes for the airbox intakes.

Fork top nut Rubber covers are missing

Exhausts you know about, but if you're quick there is a group buy for what look superb remanufactured replica's on the Turbo Forum you've posted on

Overall it doesn't look too bad, more so if you could get the price down a bit more. but as said i'm no 'expert'.

Garry,Thank you so much for your insight. I'd noticed the black plugs on the side panels were missing and the anti-dive. Thank you for pointing the other bits out to me. Sometimes i can be quite impulsive when buying things and it's nice to have an objective influence which you have just given me. I think i'm going to leave this one alone and keep looking.
Have a great day and Thanks again.

Most seem to be German imports from the same Source (Chiemgau Classics) who seems very trusted in the Turbo Community. He has one on the bay now (below) but it's a lot of Cash to buy Blind.

i'll keep my eye out on the forums in case anything pops up.

I'd seen the guy in Germany but as you say it can be a bit of a risk to buy blind even tho the guy does seem to have a great rep. I appreciate your help looking out on the other froums
