Very quick bike 25, or so years ago. Check carefully for evidence of a hard life and accident damage. Any sports bike of that vintage would have been ridden and dropped a couple of times. My back can't handle the feotal riding position any more.

And in less than two months.

Have you seen a particular one, or always fancied one. Do you have a particular make/model/size you fancy. What are your needs, wants and budget? I've always liked Hondas and 4 pot Kwakas for longevity and reliability.
VT Hondas, I like (so does Barnsey) but they are a cruiser. I used to have a Kwaka GT 750, every bit as good as any Honda I've owned; virtuallt a shaft drive GPZ.
Worth talking to Ron also.

You got a thing for old, oil leaking Pommie gear?
Sounds like Cooper doesn't it?
