Sell it, worth a tidy sum I would think?
They seem to be Tunnie, until you want to sell them?? Just paid Steve Linsdell at Flitwick Yamaha £1,000 to do some work on her, switched on last week, power valves didn't move ?? Then found I could stand on the kickstart... Sounds expensive to me..

Bought it in 2009, if I sold it this summer, I think I could get close to what I paid for it. Maybe just loose around £500

They hold their value really well

My current steed.

Me in a former life. Donnington

Nippers new bike. 1985 PW80 with matching numbers. Goes like stink for a small bike.

And some of damage from when I had the big one

I've just bought a ThunderAce - seems a great bike. Mine is an ex-police one, 51k on it - Akrapovic Titanium can & stainless downpipes - two new Pilot sport tyres, very good condition despite the mileage.

Seems to be very planted, pulls well from about 3-4k upwards. Feels a fair bit heavier than my old blade (had an RR-w blade before - last year)

I'm not sure I'd like a bike that had been sat so long, only started and never ridden - cant be good for the engine.

oh, I paid £1050 for it
