Going for a trip to pick up some bikes including an S1 I sold this bloke about 10 years ago. Very little use and left in a murky garage. :roll:
No pictures yet so it will be a surprise lOl
His eyes are getting bad so wants rid. Just got to work out a sensible price due to condition and not feel like it`s a pisstake either way .
Do I want any more bikes needing work , yea well , yea , well , might be Pugh`s auction for them.
Sold a Bsa B50 to a guy who ended up putting it in auction and he lost £800 on it.
Anyone sold any bikes lately??

It can't be a bad thing to get a Buell S1 back in hands and do something nice with it!

Overseas they threat them like trash and chopper bait.

That's not a bad idea, you could pick up a decent v twin to slot in there.
