nickyboy.4 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 After losing heart with the gsx750 i bought, saw this on gumtree yesterday and picked it up today £650 lighter, really don't know whether to laugh or cry at the moment, i'll probably pluck up the courage in the morning to get it unloaded!

wraith Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Good start, 1100? Quote Link to comment
Blubber Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 What's the plan? Are you using the best parts of both and make it a runner? Quote Link to comment
nickyboy.4 Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 it's an 1100 just going to do a proper rattle can and wire brush resto to start and get it up and running for the spring! Quote Link to comment
eddiegsx Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Bargain for an 1100, the engine is worth that. you cant go wrong. Quote Link to comment
nickyboy.4 Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 When i heard the motor run i think that made my mind up! Quote Link to comment
Toecutter Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Awesome! Bargain and a runner too. Have fun with it. Quote Link to comment
Swiss Toni Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Good find! You can get pattern side overs now, that are good quality. Not take too much to tidy up. Keep posting! Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 That's cheap! An aircooled 1100 project bike for only £650, especially as it's a runner What's the plan after the initial clean -up? Quote Link to comment
ral Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Cheepo at that, and a runner too Quote Link to comment
nachopa Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Nice bike! Do you want to keep it original or modified? Quote Link to comment
nickyboy.4 Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 Thanks for the comments, my intention is to get it to usable condition and do a rolling and running resto, just managed to buy an exhaust and a headlamp and fairing quite cheaply but both are in keeping with the rest of the bike ie: running and riding, simply can't justify a full restoration as my other bike is the daily user, this is a great place to come to for the advice we all need when getting a bike together and does help get the motivation going!

ibrakeformoose Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Nice exhaust, more modern RWU running gear.. if you don't get carried away (easier said than done) you'll have a great machine for less than £1500 all in.. Quote Link to comment
nickyboy.4 Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 Yes having spent some time on here i've got lots of ideas, just trying to sort out the niggles and actually get it roadworthy which is harder than i thought it would be, when you say rwu running gear are you talking bandit front end would that go in?

ibrakeformoose Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Bandit, GSX teapot etc. Make sure it has a speedo drive and you'll be good to go! I have a complete 750F rolling chassis spare thanks to a thief that stole one of my ES's, so you could have that cheap.. (basically everything is there minus engine, carbs and exhaust - it even has good tyres!!) Quote Link to comment
nickyboy.4 Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 how much are you thinking and where are you located, you can pm me or just put it down here if you prefer Quote Link to comment
