You'd be hard pushed to find another of the same spec and condition Chris. :coolsmiley:

I know there will be some on here that won't appreciate it, but it's an iconic bike.

Lovely mate. :daumenhoch:

Bloody hell, that's off the corner near the shop back in `81!!!

bet you daren't touch the grips, they fell apart when new!!

Its the only standard burner I'd ever want, purely iconic, even though my first was an early mk1 super tuff.

Love it.

Wow "wantit", just looking at those pictures takes me right back to the early 80's looking at the Burner's in my mums Kay's Catalogue(amongst other things ^"^). I always wanted one of those as well as the Super Tuff burner, my mate ended up getting the Super Tuff and i opted for the Extra Burner >:(

Top marks on such an iconic bike :Great_Britain:   :4_17_5:
