Description

The bike was imported to Sweden from the UK in 1986 and was road registered in 1989. The current owner bought the bike in 1993. It was renovated and repainted around 2005 and has always been kept in the owner's garage. However, it has started to develop paint bubbles on the petrol tank and top of the forks (see pictures). The frame number became impossible to see after the repaint, but an attempt will be made to scrape the paint and provide an update. The bike has no damages or dents, features nice wheels and chrome trims, and has a super clean engine.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The bike is easy to start, with a smooth-running engine, easy gear shifts, and good brakes. It has nice spoked wheels and good older tires. I would recommend a simple service since it has not been ridden for 2 years.

  • Exterior condition:

    Nothing needs fixing urgently. Repainting the petrol tank and forks will make the bike look perfect. There are no damages, rust, or dents on the bike. Seat is nice and undamaged.

  • General condition:

    This is a nice and well-kept bike that can be enjoyed for many years as is, or you can address the minor cosmetic fixes over the winter.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
