Hi All, Just about to look at an SP that's been tucked in a neighbours' garage for a few years. Late model I believe , (1999)(have looked at it in a state of inebriation a few years back) Garage was damp, which didn't fill me with enthusiasm and the bike has had belts and run previously, although I wouldn't be trying to start it again. Apart from the usual service history, provenance on the matching numbers, what should I be looking for and what sort of money for a bike that definitely needs stripped and redone?
#Condition and mileage/amount of owners play a huge part in pricing,but as he's your neighbour be cheeky with the money...you have nothing to lose.
Well, turns out its an R...! (Good news) But Cat D.... (bad news) Looks like we've done the deal anyway as I think a great bike can still be made from it. Updates later...
An immediate visual guide will be the belt covers, 748R belts are 22mm wide so there will be a 6mm gap between the belt covers and the cases. If you need further conformation, take the tank off and the 748R has overhead shower injectors. Andy
