    Well I won the bidding process and contacted the seller with no response, perhaps he has changed his mind.

    I used to have a GS850 shaft drive in the early 80's, with a very loud 4 into 1 pipe ;)
    heavy old beast, 253kg dry :eek:
    and less than 80bhp I think?

    Well it's been two days now and nothing, no communication or explanation, why do people post items on eBay and pull out without the courage to explain, it's a good job I didn't hand over money!

    If U want a project that will only appreciate in money then buy an 80's Jap 250 2 Stroke

    RGV250, TZR250, KR1S 250 etc

    If you just want a reliable cheap 4 stroke for Sunday Cruises with the Mrs then get a old VFR Tourer!

    My honest opinion would be to run for the hills, surely the emigration would have been planned months and months ago, so why sell the bike so late!. You pay him, he buggers off with the cash and the neighbour knows nothing about it when you are knock on his door. If it looks like a turd, smells like a turd then it's properly.............
