"Runs smoothly and looks very good. However, it needs to be pushed to start since the kickstart skips over when starting."

Description

The current owner bought the motorcycle in 1996 and has used it sporadically during the summer. A previous owner swapped the engine for one from an R69/S with 42 hp, 593 cc, high compression, larger carburetors, a thicker exhaust system, and higher gearing than the R50. An aesthetic renovation has also been carried out.

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.

  • 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.
