  1. As per title.

    bsa motorbike (spares or repairs) | eBay

    I can`t see anything worth £183 on this bike, unless you count the engine/frame numbers of course :Shifty:.

    If this has already been posted then I apologise unreservedly to the pedantic amongst us.

  3. 29 Bids!!!!!!!!!!! I can't see anything being salvageable on that. I can only imagine it might be for the V5 or something

  4. I reckon it's an old insurance scam. Much neater than a fire.
    A la Lord Brocket.

  6. It`s "probably" a BSA M21, same as this:

    4469bsa

    Wonder who told him it`s salvageable!

    Anyways, kudos to the seller and good luck to the buyer, unless he has just bought it for the numbers.

  15. Can you still read the numbers?
    Or have they rusted off?

  16. Wonder if the buyer will turn up with his helmet and gloves and a "some fresh fuel and I thought I might be able to ride it away" look on his face.

    Years ago I sold an off road bike, in large-ish bits and a few boxes. I added lots of pictures and a description that included words such as "non runner" and "loosely assembled." Didn`t stop the buyer rocking up on my doorstep wanting me to put the bike together for him so he can hear it running!

  17. The previous bike sale ended with positive feedback from the buyer so he must be happy.
    Here`s another one

    BSA B31 - 350cc still in the barn find | eBay

    It may look like I`m a sad sack for finding this but in my defence, I did have a full day on my bike yesterday. I`m now sat around waiting for my 2-10 shift so what else you gonna do. :)

    What you think it will finish at i will start with £410 :Jawdrop:

  19. What a mess! I can only imagine that these bikes must be selling for the V5 or something. I'd say £250 but I am no doubt way out.
