I have already introduced myself and have created a few threads. Today I picked up a standard 1985 PX 200 ( rust free ). Mot'd and running fine. V5 and two keys. Don't like the colour much. Not adding any photos yet as it wants a good bath. The indicators don't work, neither does the lights. When I kick it over the fuel gauge goes up fine, so the mag is giving out good voltage. I think it is probably an earth problem. Nice Sip 2 Exhaust with a 20 jet. Got it for a good price. The fun begins, so will the questions. Have a nice weekend

Does it have the original lump? Out of interest, what did you pay? Paint can get bloody ridiculous, unless the colour resembles the internals of a curry eaterys sh*thouse....

Hi. Don't know about the engine as the seller is sending off the log book so I don't have the engine number. The price ! I did a trade with another bike I had so can't really put a price on it. Pulls like a train ! A bloke who sprays my BSA's has quoted me £500 for a full metallic respray if I get it blasted first. It came with receipts for work last year at a dealers for £800.

Lovely. Sounds like a curry house urinal that's not been sh*t into.... 😐 post pictures when you get chance, and sand blasting can be fairly cheap if you look hard enough...
