The Dispatchers hack, the plastic maggot. Looks interesting and well done from that pic. Got any more pics?

That power and weight equates pretty much to a Z1 in 1973.

Everything weighs 220kg these days, it's almost like most modern bikes are built to that as a target weight.

No worries. I found it anyway.

4.5k for a 14 year old xt, they're having a laugh.

It's not badly priced looking at the rest of them out there.

Is that some posh airbox mod?

I wouldn't expect that without some pipes?

Probably put the stock pipes back on to sell it.

Yeah DNA stage 2. No, i wouldn't usually expect it without pipes and power commander.

For an 07 bike,I'd have expected it to be cheaper.

A 1930 Majestic, apparently.

I found them a bit top heavy, I thought the road bike version was better to ride

It definitely seems to be a thing. Decent superduke's are 4k to 5k like this (just picked one in the middle)

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KTM-990-SUPE ... 3830125075

Or 1500 more and get a nearly new z900 that's 13 years newer. Bonkers.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2019-KAWASAK ... 3799242069

Or for the same price as the SD a 2014 MT09
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/YAMAHA-MT-09 ... 3787037427

I really quite like the 990 SMTs but decent ones of them are 5k which I can't get my head around for a 2010 bike vs a grand or so more for a 2019-2020 bike.

That Hercules appears to have a weird two stroke engine that is intriguing
