TBH, if that ran okay, i'd have liked to have bought that. Nice easy project for me!

If you set it on fire, then attacked it with a sledgehammer, it could only improve the looks.

One of the worst FZ750s I've ever seen, I've suggested to the seller (on Facebook) that he's being very optimistic with the price, but he was having none of it and thought it was a bargain.

He wasn't receptive to that suggestion, it truly is worthless, a good condition FZ is only worth £2K (though people are asking a lot more and not getting it)

Why do bike manufacturers spend millions on frame development when they could just bend some scaffolding poles and weld them together?
