I'm liking the look of these. Don't see too many of them turn up for sale but I would defiantly have one .
(how many cylinders do they have )

Unfortunately the seller has gone to ground. I've emailed about 6 times, called the phone number he gave and left messages. Looked up his address in the UK, got two mates in London to call and email and no contact. Advertisement has now disappeared so I'm thinking it has gone. A pity because summer in the Alps on that bike with a mate from Switzerland was planned. _________________ YB6, Gilera Saturno, Guzzi Lemans Mk1, KTM 640 Advenutre, Honda CB900FC |

Other than he might have had an accident and be lying in hospital or worse? Isn't it wierd, that he can't just tell you that it's not available anymore.
wastes so much time and effort.
well done for trying, there'll be something else surely soon to interest you.
But YB5s do seem to be really rare.

Yes my thoughts as well, bit strange. But I am being patient in the (vain) hope it will miraculously re-appear. _________________ YB6, Gilera Saturno, Guzzi Lemans Mk1, KTM 640 Advenutre, Honda CB900FC |
