Jokes aside, these are pics of the actual bikes,I don't know how long ago they were taken,but understand them to be a fair representation of they're current condition.
They arrive Tuesday,

I paid £1300 for my 1984 ST with less than 2k miles on the clock and it came with OE panniers - sadly this was back in 1985. Great little bike.

 

[mikeyboy]

Let's have some pub talk,your views on the values of the bikes?
I know what I think their worth,
The r90 is 1976,@@80k miles in standard unrestored cond
The 80st is 84,, not stupid miles but can't remember
Again in fair standard cond,
Both bikes come with luggage,

R90S...lovely, and I like it in the "ginger" paint scheme.

Worth?.... lots these days it seems. £6.5k ish???

R80ST; Im biased because I have one..... great little bikes, and very under rated, especially when compared with the R80G/S.
Personally I believe the R80ST should be worth more than they actually sell for.

Worth: £3k if its low miles etc.

I could be way off on prices, and hope I haven't insulted you if you've paid more for either of my guestimates.

 

[Bubb]

Oh, and I think the ST has the wrong headlight.... should be larger I think. ...and its been re-painted.

I'm also biased to the ST.

They are very under rated.

In 1985 mine came from Coombs in Guildford, a red one, reg B129KBP. (Is it still around?).

Looks like it has been repainted.

Headlight looks correct but in the 2nd picture the chrome frame of the screen, in picutre 1, is still in position - but no screen.

Value, again depending on miles £3k.

B129KBP Doesn't show up on the mot and tax checker, of course it could have been exported.

 

[mikeyboy]

Well, the bikes arrived
Finally home from a life in France
We'll start with the 90
Last mot,ed 2012,
Photos taken as unloaded

 

[mikeyboy]

Initial thoughts,
A proper service,a deep clean ,some light recommissioning,tyres and mot,would see this bike as a good day to day runner

 

[mikeyboy]

Or a perfect bike for a full restoration,

 

[mikeyboy]

It does need a good detail clean,

 

[mikeyboy]

The frame and engine numbers match

 

[mikeyboy]

All looks standard and unfuckedaboutwith.
I have a stack of paperwork to look through,it has electronic ignition that Steve scrim fitted and he has done other work on it.

 

[mikeyboy]

Last few

 

[mikeyboy]

With original luggage

 

[mikeyboy]

The 80st,again,looks unmolested,
Needs a service,a deep clean,and some basic recommissioning,and would be good to go,no boxes with this one
