Why do these types of ads for motorbikes that haven't ran in years always claim "it has good compression" or something similar ? Realistically this is an old pile of parts that will likely need a complete rebuild costing serious money to make operational , and then you will have an old smokey motorbike with the performance level of a new small scooter sans the reliability . ...rant off ...

Come buy this useless lump of crap out of my garage for $1,900.00. Yea, that's gonna happen.
20 years ago when I was still working on a few old lumps for other people , about five times a year some poor kid who wanted to ride would in fact buy one of these old lumps that someone sold them while promising it only needed "the carbs cleaned" . Poor dumb kid would then somehow locate me and suggest the old heap he had purchased could/should be brought back to life by me , usually for free or almost nothing . Then said poor dumb kid would tell people I was an asshat after I told them the truth , and bluntly told them they had two choices , either buy a really good manual , tools , and get after it , or park it until some other poor dumb kid offered to buy it . A famous Guzzi mechanic from Down Under got flamed for telling a new owner this hard truth . Not meant to insult Charlie and those who have the skills , or those who are willing to spend the money , just a cautionary note is all . DustySo, you're suffering from some kind of "kid with junk motorcycle PTSD syndrome?" Maybe "famous mechanics" could benefit by scrolling on by?? How all this infinite wisdom is gleaned by a internet post is amazing to me.
