Purposefully pleasing,though I could do without the red Suzuki shoes.

That lash-up is worth the price of the parts.
That’s a frame from a roadgoing Norton.

I suppose it could have been worse - it could have been a Norumph.

Mental money for a bike that cost £1600 brand new, less if you shopped around. I like them (I've got 1.5 of them) but they aren't worth £10K.

In the description it says first registered 5th Oct 84 (on a B plate) how come the tax disc, which has the same reg number, expires 31 May 83.

Because it’s a piece of paper, with writing on it.

That's impressive, they took a really ugly bike and made it worse.

The RS wasn't too bad.

Is the WR450 a reverse cylinder as standard, or did someone bolt the cylinder back on the wrong way round?

The RS wasn't bad. If you want ugly the R1200ST was the one. This is an improvement!
