    He thinks it has a 3-speed gearbox. Shifting issues?

    Also, looks like a 750 Seca headlamp ass'y; I don't recall any of the 650s coming with the rectangular set-up.

    It does have a rectangualr headlamp, but it's not off of a XJ750. The sidepanels are from the 650, as are the forks. Honestly that looks a bike that someone saved by fitting whatever they had on hand, or a custom job that was never finished.

    Hi Robbie

    That about 2 x what it's worth I reckon, or 700 quid top tops..
    There was a very nice 550 on a few months back that stuck around for ages
    at 995 quids. This looks rough by comparison. Saw a decent FZ600 go for about 600 recently too.

    Best

    UGH!

    Needs a lot of obvious cosmetic repair and who knows how much mechanical.

    £500 to £600 if it does actually work. Otherwise £450 tops.

    An absolute "Bitsa".The rear foot rest stay are alsonot 750. Looks like left over parts.If it was working...possibly not worth more than 200.

    He's changed it to a classified ad and reduced the price to £999. Still more than twice what it's worth.
