Seemed dear really compared to an original as some "aftermarket parts" were used to fix...and no title with bike as evidently was written off...but seeing as he spent money on it why was it filthy and covered in dust?? How'd you know the belts had snapped GeeKay? Not stated in the listing.......
He should really have checked the belts on a 6 year old Duc engine...espeically considering theres a shot with a Cagiva Canyon ducati engined bike in the background........

it was mentioned in the RareSportsBikes article.
Another point raised was why there was no damage to the front swingarm - the first thing to touch down in a fall.
