Nope, that isn't a typing error in the title! I've just found a Thunderace for sale with less than 200 miles on it!!!

It's not pristine, hasn't been dropped, but has some damage on it (I assume from being leaned against stuff).

 

 

Not that I have £3,500 spare, but I'm curious..:

1/ Would you be looking at a full engine strip?

2/ Other than all the rubbers replacing, what other problems would you expect from a bike that has basically never run for 25 years?

3/ Why do people buy bikes and then hardly ever use them???

 

P.S.

Same colour as my Ace!
