But why so cheap? I thought these came in at about 2.5k?

Bit new. Is it not one of the later Brazilian made ones? Wrong colour too - desirable ones are black or white.

Its had a respray "Kenny Roberts Replica" , its got the wrong speedblock pattern and I think the K.R Reps were made in 1984.

Dealer.. Probably don't know what they've got. I'd have that for a laugh.. Coffers say otherwise though :smt012

Yeah same boat will. Im so tempted to phone the bank.. but nope.. I'll wait til I get back from Oman... if I ever get there..

Resprayed, yeah looks it, but I always assume a bike has been down the road, saves dissapointment when you find it has, but for a short of a 2 Smoke screamer.. Hmmm tempted..

It looks a bit 'wrong' to me. As others have said, it's been resprayed, the cans should be aluminium, not black, the colour is wrong for the year, I'm suspicious of the black frame and silver swingarm, 37k is a lot for one of those motors, and it's almost certainly a Brazilian built one.

This is also the F2 version, not the more desirable F(1). They buggered the carburation up on the later ones. Either the very first (non-YPVS) or the first of the YPVS models are the ones to go for.
