      It is the 450 scrambler, so you got it right.  Thanks for the link.  I think for a European bike that is a good price, but i reckon I can do better with a US bike, so I'm going to sniff around a little more and do a little more research before jumping…...

        sure, it's just for comparison, and to show the price-range of almost pristine machine. I think there is a bit to negotiate, but not much.

          At the request of MadMonday, here's some better pics of my 75' Ironhead.

            Giles, you're pretty tall and might find something like a Sportster to be on the small side. I certainly did, and one of the reasons I ride a BMW is that it's the right sort of size for me.

            The Ducati is a sweet looking bike. 😘

            If you're looking for inspiration then I'd suggest checking out Bike EXIF. They feature a lot of Triumphs and Harleys, but there seem to be a few old Beemers featured.

            And occasionally a custom Gold Wing…

            My favourites are what Ritmo Sereno is doing with '70s BMW Boxers.

            Apologies if I've ruined anyone's productivity for the day. 😉

              Thanks for the advice.  Currently on a hunt for that Ducati.  If I can find one and get it shipped to Michigan within next 2 weeks, I can get it shipped here for nothing…...

                    Up to now, this is the only motorbike that I have ever owned. It was absolutely awful, but I loved it….unfortunately I had to sell it to buy furniture when Pam and I moved into our first home  😞

                                I pretty much rebuilt my old 1975 Honda CB360 Twin in my living room of my old apartment, glad it was
                                downstairs and I lived alone… 😉

                                      Why? Bikes are perfectly good pieces of living room furniture.
