Description
THIS IS A VERY GENUINE UK LOW MILES, LOW OWNER EXAMPLE, IN FANTASTIC CONDITION, THAT STARTS ON THE BUTTON & RIDES LIKE A DREAM ... AHEM SUPERDREAM! PLUS IT COMES WITH ABOUT £500 WORTH OF SPARES & EXTRAS!
The 400's are much rarer than the 250's & consequently have that bit of extra power that most would agree the 250 lacked (and as a result named the "Wetdream") and therefore a more sort after model. Beautiful looking 1981 example in just lovely condition now registered as an historic vehicle (no tax or MOT required) that I had the pleasure to ride today & it was 100% perfect!
The previous owner bought it in great order from a dealer, then set about improving it further, he managed to source some new old stock OEM carburettors, new headers, collector box & twin tail pipes (high quality pattern), new tyres & a stack of parts as in last photo!!!! Consequently it also comes with better condition front mudguard, new handlebars, new boxed rear shock absorbers, the original carbs, 2 spare OEM side panels, 2 sets of spare exhausts, top box & carrier rack, LH side engine casing, 4 brand new indicators & a plethora of gaskets, nuts & bolts, oil filter, new boxed battery, etc. etc. In total 4 boxes worth.
As you can see from the photos & video it is in stunning condition with everything working perfectly, all the switch gear, instrument cluster are nice & bright & unfaded/ worn, uncut mudguard (with uber rare reflector that nearly all have fallen off) and the pièce de résistance - original dealer pressed steel number plate. The frame is as original so has some patina but I think this backs up the low mileage & obviously easy life the old girl has had.
One key works all locks & the bike comes with owners manual (no service history I'm sorry) Haynes manual, V5, some usual David Silver invoices & an invoice from Torbay motorcycles last year for £3, 091 (and that's before all the bits were done!)
Together with all the spares it will make a great bike for the next owner to ride & enjoy for many a year to come, it's a breeze to ride.
FOR ME, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PRICE OF 70's TRAIL BIKES, 2 STROKES LIKE A FIZZY THAT CAN'T EVEN KEEP UP WITH MODERN TRAFFIC, THEN THIS 4 STROKE GOOD LOOKING, EASY TO RIDE & OWN, WITH ELECTRIC START, RELIABLE HONDA, IS GOOD VALUE RIGHT NOW - IN COMPARISON AT LEAST
N. B. I am semi-retired working from home buying/ selling a few nice bikes SO I am technically a Trader
