Don't need it, don't know when I'll ride it, but I'd quite like it.

They were kinda cool, certainly look like the 11/1200 at first glance.
I'd rather a 400 Katana tho'

Yet again I find the phrase 'Old Shitter' seems to cover quite a broad spectrum...

True, but it's not my money I'm spending.

Nice bike!
Before some dickhead put pod filters and a pink handlebar on it, then parked it on the promenade for a year.
Too much money for one in that condition.

Presume it's a Jap import (were they officially imported?). Looks like a lot of Jap imports low miles but abandoned long long ago and left unloved. Maybe for 1-1.2k but I'd not wanna pay more.

It's a Jap import and I did think it looked in rough condition, I thought £1K max was a more realistic price

Why not throw another £2k at the one you have and make it look a bit more 'AC Sanctuary'
That would be money better spent IMHO.
TBH that's been my conclusion over the weekend, but with bikes I go round in a circle of "why do I want a big on the road, I'm not using the power" followed by buying a small bike and then getting bored with thrashing the tits out of it

You think that's bad, you haven't seen my upcoming CB-1 project yet!
A thread will follow in due course, but not for a few months.
