@@MotorcycleFettlers I flogged it after about 10 years to a mate at work. He put it back on the road and used it for a few years and sold it on to another Honda enthusiast who completely restored it. Basically cleaned it up because it didn`t need "restoring". The V5 last changed hands in 2001 almost 30 years after it was manufactured and its probably still on the road somewhere now.
Yep I sold it about 3 years ago , the engine was not painted and the exhausted and carbs have been replaced. It was me that brought it back to life after had been sitting in a shed for many years. Pleased to see it being ridden.
