Re: gt550b
Big problem regarding resto costs if someone else does it all.
Proof that four strokes are over complicated

Re: gt550b
That's a lot more than I sold it for last year. And there was no documentation showing £16k spent on it. Its only done a handful of miles since my ownership. I sold it through Lincolnshire Motorcycles on a commission basis. Sad to let it go, but both outer exhausts had split at the seams following previous rechroming. I had them tin soldered, but not sure how long they will last. I didn't want to keep it with the potential for the exhausts to disintegrate. They were leaking in other places too, the metal was so thin in places. I know Mike had one exhaust dissolve in the chroming process.
It's a mint bike bar the exhausts, but no way is it worth £13,500.

Anyone wishes to buy my GT550B - Anna - after a full resto with new crank, rebore & engine rebuild (by Baz), please pm me. It's a LOT less than the above price, and been done properly too.
