hello finncoyle I have a 748Bip on a p reg and although I don't think I would sell it I have had a few problems that would drive most normal people up the wall. I bought the bike 3rd hand with FDSH with 8000 miles on the clock. to list but a few. . . which I now understand to be normal for the age (some). expansion tank cracked leaking coolant down the rad. bulbs popping in tail light breather leaking oil oil switch 3 rockers replaced alarm system blowing relays. and last May just before Mallory main bearings went. So after that I bought a 2001 engine on 4000miles and stayed in the good books for what seemed a life time with the lady in doors. Would I sell it nope . . and half the fun has been learning about these bikes, along with lots of overtime at work. (sorry that part was not fun) get a maintenance book first you will save the pennies. welcome . .and good luck. regards TopiToo |
