I can't remember the last time I saw one on the road.
I agree there doesn't seem to be many about nowadays,

Even though it will take awhile to complete I'm sure it will be worth it as I have always liked these bikes ever since Cus my mate who was afew years older than me took me for a spin on the back of his red GSX750ET back in 1985 when I was just 16yrs old, It was awesomely fast compared to my DT50MX :lol:

it's amazing how easy nos parts are to obtain at the moment, I got a brand new alloy engine badge and clutch lever, together with a side panel sticker for my 250 Suzuki katana, the prices aren't too scary either, was chatting to a fellow biker who said that parts for twenty year old jap bikes are easier to get now than they were in 1993 ! its great to see the original wrapping as well :)

I've excepted an offer lads of £1,600 I just can't be arsed anymore, I doubt very much I will build anymore bikes.

I will how ever buy some very nice restored bikes providing they have full documentation ie pics & receipts then just tinker with them and ride em.
