I'm taking the bike of course as it's only a look and formulate a quote.
If we take it on, I will have to fetch it in the van and pay the Dartford toll.

Interesting project. I test rode a Norton Commander when they first came out and was seriously impressed. Lots of Yamaha bits on it!
'73 Honda CB500 Four, Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and Triumph Tiger Sport 660.

love the rotary, had a parade at Jurby with a racer when i was on my fz.
I beat it because it broke down
For some reason they put me in the racer class but a loved it watching the 80/90's bikes up close.

Sourcing the right oils for it might be an issue and hopefully the tip seals are in good nick. Only got 5780 on clock which for a medic bike is nothing.
seems rotella oil is easily available in the USA as a lot of the xs400 peeps buy it for their bikes

I've always found Opie Oils to be really helpful.
