Pssssst,wanna buy an airhead mister

[ChasF]

Both look good to me. As runners with MOTs I'd think £6k for the 90s and £3k for the ST.

I hope the 90 stays unrestored.

Mot expired January this year
Doesn't tell us much,
Seems to run well .

 

[mikeyboy]

So here's the deal ,this is my workshop as I left tonight,
It's rammed,
As is storage facility b.
If these bikes had turned up in November,they would not be for sale,they would be my winter projects

 

[mikeyboy]

It will be two or three weeks before I can realistically touch them,
As soon as I start work on them they will be fully serviced etc etc,which will make them more expensive.
The numbers being bandied about sound spot on to me ,.
If you want more photos info,let me know,Ill try my best to sort.
Pm or phone if you want a looksee

Let's have a bit of banter
It's not very often these pop up

 

[Sgt Bilco]

All looks standard and unfuckedaboutwith.

You are confusing these demented old airhead owners with all this technical talk........

In all honestly Chris,these airhead owners know their bikes,it's not very often I come away from a conversation not having learned something

 

[mikeyboy]

Someone needs to come and buy the st ,if you don't I'll hack it up and build a desert racer

 

[mikeyboy]

Remarkably quiet,must be counting the coppers out of the big whiskey bottle

Now this is tempting................a visit is called for tomorrow!

Insider dealing,
Nice honest machines,both need some man love

No test pilots
The 90 needs a fettle,crap fuel and a load of oil poured down the stainless exhausts
Went up the road earlier on it,decided it needed a service before an Italian tune up

 

[mikeyboy]

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

Will remove some panels for a looksee,paintwork is good and will polish up,is it the wrong colour,lifted a side panel and couldn't see any evidence of a repaint

 

[mikeyboy]

The 80 has a surefoot stand fitted

The ST has definately had a repaint.... shown by the fact that the right side panel has no black bottom bit on it
(geeky I know).... and both side panels should have coachlines on them.
Wish I had the cash, and space to come and take the ST off your hands, as they are great little bikes.... and I would love to be able to start a collection of them.

If you keep the ST and decide to desert-racer it..... can I be first in line to buy the exhaust heat shield, as mine is missing. (Thanks)

I think the R90S should remain UNrestored, as it looks great as it is (well, a clean and light polish would be good)

Keep us updated please.

was joking about the desert racer bit,
the bikes are too nice to hack about,they both would make excellent day to day runners,or perfect for a more involved restoration,
will take more pics and advertise them in fs&wanted
R90S oitro £5k
R80ST OITRO £2.5K
i am of course happy to service,and recommision,mot etc if wanted
or supply the bikes fully restorered

Had an offer of the asking price on the 90,
Fella looks to have joined the forum to pm me
However I don't know him and neither bike will be sold unseen ,
So he has first shout for a day or so,
Pm or call to express interest

I hd my GS MOT'd today.... it passed, anyway, in thy garage i went to Herefordshire), a proper old school "shed type" garage with numerous bikes on the "yard" i noticed TWO airheads, one was similar to the orange one in this thread but not so cared for, wire wheels and a burnt orange fairing, the other was black with i mag wheels and no fairing, i'm no airhead expert so please forgive my disruptions... i couldn't say for sure but he may be up for a chat about selling them... i didn't ask....they were weathered and had obviously stood outside for a while. I will happily either call the guy and ask him, or PM me and i will let you know where they are rather than post the guy's info openly.

The 90 has gone to a new home,it's going to be restored to its former glory
Perfect bike for it I recon
So the st is still here,it has been perused by at least two " non buyer" tossers,
Both of which have said"its nicer than I thought it would be "
It starts, runs lovely.
,so someone come and buy it,I want it gone !
Needs a home
