WTD: Motorbike project - WHY

Hi,

Having just sold my Husqvarna enduro bike, and having my Westfield in pretty much the condition I want it in for the time being, I'm looking for a bike as a quick project over winter, so:

Has anyone got a bike tucked away that they don't really want anymore that might make a decent project for me?

I'd be particularly interested in anything of an off road nature (enduro/crosser etc.), though happy to consider anything really.

Overall, the main thing I'm really interested in is having a V5 or at the very least having frame and engine numbers intact so I could potentially get the reg docs re-issued.

Cheers

Steve

I have in my shed a stripped to component form Moto Morini 3 and a half, now its not my bike , but if its of interest I can contact the owner and see if they wish to sell. I stripped the bike but the owner appears to have forgotten about it, or at the very least its not in the forefront of importance to them, as I want to start some car work over winter the shed space would be useful.

Not an off-road bike, but I'm planning to sell my NTV650 in the very near future.
Runs ok, but no tax or MOT, and could do with a bit of TLC!

I got a 1954 350cc Matchless G3LS in the shed in pieces.
Plus a pile of other Matchless parts.

Frame has been powder coated, Engine and gearbox are all assembled and complete (wasnt stripped down, but ought to be checked before using)
Am thinking about rebuilding it, but happy to part with it for the right money.







1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Best Regards

I've got an RM80 I'm supermoto-ing and road regging hopefully this winter. Should be a good laugh in the twisties

*riiiiiiiiiiing a ding-ding-ding-ding-ding*

Not for sale, just for inspiration - hopefully look like this when I'm finished!

Oooh, I've always fancied a KR1S.
I'm sure I remember seeing that same bike for sale a while back and being very tempted!

Cheers guys, keep them coming if there's any more.

NTV isn't really my cup of tea, but thanks.

That KR1 is certainly a pretty unit!

PS.

Dangle - that RM looks like a lot of fun. Having just sold a 250 2t, I can imagine the high revving fun to be had with that thing on sticky tyres
