    Hi RT, just to let you know, the linky didn't work for me.

    Would I buy a bike from an auction? Well I've bought several cars from auctions and they all worked out well - you just have to buy at a price that leaves you enough to fix any problems.

    I have purchased all sorts of things mechanical at auction and online. Do your homework invest the time to check it in person (or have a mate local to the item do so).There was a thread on here recently that sent me on a search for a 500 single.
