That bloke seems to have an awful lot of unregistered bikes. Makes you
wonder why.

There'll be a slight difference between 'want' and 'get' though. A lot
of R50/5-specific parts are unobtanium these days and can't necessarily
be adapted from other /5s. Like the Speedo/rev counter unit, for
example.

It wants a new silencer and I doubt the OEM one is still available, the
rear wheel looks like it's potentially got corrosion on it and the thing
wants and MOT and paperwork.

I wouldn't pay more than 600-700 for it, and only if I'd gone over the
bike with a microscope.

I agree with you sir.

The C1 mentioned has all the expensive bits broke - heated seat,
screen etc

Plus Champ will be along in a minute to tell us to all get a life
because they are only BMW's
