Not sure yet, you could get one with half the mileage for €15000 from euroland. This thing could early burn a big pile of cash to get sorted, nobody knows why last owner was pulling it apart & sadly he ain't about to ask.
What do people think about the engine number engraving? I think it is worth asking for a close up to study it in detail
Fella handling the sale did say he worked in custom motorcycle fabrication.... all I can make out is 238*
This is how I remember proper engraving of the era (although this is off a 955) done by machine and much neater?
#I have just checked my conversation from another member on here and the number is correct,but this photograph on the listing is not!
Quick Google shows more of your style of stamping, also thread on here in Jan 2019 along same lines....elderly owner passed away.
