Not too far from where I am right now. Kind of on the way home. But I will be pulling a 5th wheel trailer so I wouldn't be able to check it out.

I like the comment....."A little bit of a project bike..."

$2400 with 75,000 miles...and looking at the photos,  I suspect one would easily have to put another $2400+ to make it sorted, reliable, and road-worthy....(just sayin' - - but I could be wrong! :grin: :laugh: :wink:

:rolleyes: :shocked: :huh: :wink: :thumb: :boozing: :cool: :bow: :smiley:

Lots of work required for this one. Might be somewhat mechanically sound but a lot of cosmetic and general maintenance definitely required.

I'm always intrigued by what's in the background of the photo...

Aren’t these a pretty good platform, for a Le Mans tribute?

Probably as close as you can get with a  round barrel Tonti.  a few bits: triple clamp with 180mm spacing between the forks, 2 piece brake rotors on a narrow hub dogleg cast wheel,  LM  fender, tank,  ABS plastic LM 1/2 side covers, seat base and seat, exhaust , LM footrests and pedals are some of the items that would make it into a believable  LM (1) tribute bike.
Of course it doesn't cover the motor ( heads barrels, pistons, carbs), paint work ( unless you do your own) and it could get spendy.
This convo will inevitably snap a lot of suspenders....
