Guest YoshiJohnny Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) How did you find the ride quality.I was a young skint spanner monkey when I had it... it ended up with slabby forks and FZR1000 wheels etc when I had it...it handled like it was on rails to me but it probably didn't lol... compared to the GS1000 I tore apart to build it it was light and nimble Edited November 17, 2015 by YoshiJohnny Quote Link to comment
KATANAMANGLER Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 It was found pretty much as it as when I sold it and its new owner is restoring it to how it would have run in F1.There is some talk that it was sat on and used by Barry Sheene but there is no way of really proving it..I am not bitter or upset and it will be really nice to see it turn a wheel againNever mind Barry Sheene, I heard Joshi Johnny sat on it and rode it! 1 Quote Link to comment

kja.busa Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I can remember seeing these bikes at Cadwell in '83, Mick Grant and McElnea were the riders, the following year they'd fitted the 750 engines. Quote Link to comment

yann7/11r Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 This one was restaured by a specialist in 2008/2009. Offered for sale, by a well know site, the following year. Quote Link to comment
