Nice bikes and yes, a fine example. Bit too new as you say…I want to leave a faint cloud of oily smoke behind me

I've just bought a TS400 and I definitely won't restore it , I love the look but beyond that I have to no worry of getting it grubby....just jump on it and away!

Thanks Magwa

I’m negotiating for a bike currently. So as not to waste anyone’s time if it falls through I’ll ask then if ok?

Thanks for all the suggestions, I’m going to (hopefully) collect a bike on Sunday. If the pictures sent are representative of the bike I’ll bring it home. 1984 Honda XL

Nice picture JB. Just completing the NOVA process so I can apply for registration with the DVLA. Once done, I’ll post up a ‘how to’ best practice guide

A local kid bought one new when I was young. I remember being so jealous it was almost painful. He rode it like a nutter which impressed me greatly. Hope it's a good one.

Well done
I got a chap to do it who was authorised by DVLA/NOVA and VMCC
It cost me £100 3-4 years ago
Best £100 I spent to save the aggravation

Hi Magwa,

What are the prices of these?

cheers,

A few I have had over the last 20 years
Paid £700 from Stafford show, with 12 months MOT for the TLR200
Got the XR250 from a mate, nice bikes
A good friend restored the 125EXC for his wife, great little buzz bomb
Bought the R100G/S Special from Holland, via SPC and CTFT
The 1981/2 DT175MX was a superb bike and all original, from new and paid just £400 for it in 2000 (they're £3-4k nowadays and rising)
