Thanks for all the advice. I have to say that i offered £700 to the guy and he turned me down flat saying that a trader has offered the same money and they don't even want to see it. Clearly he is trying to say that he is expecting more money from a private buyer. He must also have seen these ads on auto trader where people are selling a couple for £1800 - £2000 - so he thinks that he is selling for half price or something - who knows.

My intention would be to race it in the DD and put my monster back on the road as I much prefer the riding position of the ss to the monster. Nobody know of anything going cheap?

Cheers again

The world must have truly gone barmy then. Look how much this breaker wants for this 750...

Franco what they advertise for is not what is often sold for.
a good one will fetch £12-1600.
Since the dd started there seem to be lots jumping on the bandwagon for the 600s.
walk away mate it is a scrapper or parts bike.
I wouldnt take a chance myself and i like working on rebuilding heaps of scrap.

Cheers Alan. Bizarrely the guy described it as needing a bit of TLC!!! After he flatly turned down the £700 I did walk away but I thought it would be a good idea to poll some opinion here to make sure I have done the right thing and it looks like I have :D
