Engine fully rebuilt during build
I had the bike / carbs setup on a rolling road last year, ensuring correct fuelling, and maximising engine power. The final power figure was 45hp, with a print out to prove.
Parts letting the bike down is some paint damage to the engine and underside of the frame. Purely cosmetic, just needs some respraying. Also some light scratches on the tank (not obvious).
I'm unsure of the mileage on the bike, but given the fact it was 100% rebuilt, it never worried me.
Viewings welcome (based in Poole)
