OK Guys test your knowledge...
what is wrong with this bike??? asking price £2400!!

Look like a nice bike. Isn't that a really good price for the UK?

But if the question is: what's not correct?
Its either a T500 with GT500 parts or a GT500 with T500 parts.

body set (tank, side cover & oil tank) for 74 T500
front end for a GT500
turn signals for a GT500
clutch cover for a GT500 but points cover for a T500
folding rear foot pegs like a GT500 but mounted where the T500 ones are
wrong rear shocks for both
pod filters wrong for both
chrome horn wrong for both
aftermarket headlight
cover on clutch lever
aftermarket mirrors

dents in right muffler
is that a little rust I see in the pics

its a 76 model which make it a GT500.
bad price for a bitsa bike.
prices are now so unrealistic in my book.
some spare will be hard to get to I would expect..
I know I harp on wanting one but when I remind myself of my last T500.
the things that didn't suit in today's riding.
brakes for one,90 miles on a full tank and with rural gas stations fast disappearing here .
spares are way to pricey now ..example the exhaust seal between the down pipe £26 and these don't last long before blowing.
anyway a couple of times I nearly came a cropper on corners brakes!!
can't ride a vintage as well as a modern bike, I know some do but I just forget after awhile.
beside all that I have no space in my garage since I now use it as a workshop(partition it).
but at least I still have interest so we'll never know what I might do.
I would've bought the above if it was around the £1500 mark.
