I've seen SL's for silly money, but that has got nicks on the frame paint, the top mid fairing isn't attached, it's got council estate cans on it, just horrible.

Needs to be a <265cc or whatever to have green number boards tho'
Yeah, if it was gonna be raced. But it looks like a 250, so should have a 250 plate :mrgreen:
It looks like a pile of crap, perhaps it should have brown plates

Don't click the link.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

All the best custom bikes use 'a bit' of tread plate.

Why?

Crazy amount of money too!

That's truly repulsive, the gaps in the bodywork are nice

Just looked at the advert

1. £5500 for a 103000 mile Impreza????
2. Gets attention everywhere - I'm sure it does
3. List of new parts longer than your arm - it's fucked

And that's just for starters, worth more in parts, then break the fucking thing and put it out of it's misery

103k for the engine, the shell is on 192k.

She's a beaut and no mistake.
I particularly like the ( obviously greatly performance-enhancing ) pipes , trick lightweight cylinder heads and super-sticky racer tyres! 8-)

Too many "might be/ might not be" sentences in that. Worrying that the seller states that the engine number looks like it has been changed. No matter, it matches the V5!!! Well, which came first, the stamped engine number or the V5?

Much as I love an air cooled two stroke, personally I'd steer clear, as much nicer ones around for the same price. Plus it looks gopping.

Snot t'bay or a bike, but this is a bit pricey, suppose it is an OEM Honda part and there's only one left!
