    been trying to get one of these in good nick at the right price for awhile now, and here it is, it was imported from the USA to here recently and i tracked down the former owner from ohio, looks to be all original, the yellow dabs of paint are still in place from quality control, rides well and has been loved in the past, its a 74 model,, the stable is well and truly full, if i want another bike i have to sell one, ken

    Nice addition to the sig line Ken.
    Hard to believe but I remember in the early 80's you couldn't give them away.
    Stopped to admire a single cam 750/4 in Ipswich a few years ago and the rider told me he had 18!! under his house, every time one was cheap enough he grabbed it and after a while people would ring him to come and remove them.
    He wasn't interested in selling me one :cry:

    Very nice ken, i went from Melbourne to Broome and back plus lots of wanderings in between, many moons ago, on one like that the only problem i had wasn't it's fault..dirty fuel. Twas a very reliable machine and tappets are so much easier than shims.
