Benn Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Can you not just put the reg into some kind of reg checker? It should tell you exactly what bike it is then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 If it's a 750 and got the extended mudguard, it's a USA Import 'Special' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiggie Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 if its been sat outside under a cover for a couple of years have a good luck at the frame and swingarm, could be very badly rusted. £300 - £400 sounds good to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
