Didn't know Mark Dent did paintwork  Maybe that's why its painted in 80/81 colour & its being sold as 82. OEB |

So, fuel tank sticker, non std ht caps, no mention of mileage, no mention of owners, no mention of bore sizes, however it’s producing 350bhp which isn’t far off what my old 911 did so it’ll be seriously quick.
It’ll sell though, he’s also selling off a couple of fizzies as well.
Also don’t forget it’s a Uk bike which is more sought after than the Japanese ones 👍

To be fair it looks a real nice bike, it’s just the advert that’s the pants, ( I call him yammie !! FFS ) yes it will sell, probably for loads of money but Hey Ho !

Nice bike...and now's the time to sell these investments, when prices have never been higher... it's time to downsize/cash in. Fill your boots.

Forget the RD I wish I still had my MK2 Chopper 😳 I had a mk1 with adjustable bars. Too easy to flip, I think that's why they welded them in the forward position. |

The FS1E's are mint as can be but just not right, surely they both (red and blue ffs) both have sidepanels off the restricted bikes, shouldn't have painted trim strips round the seat etc, I'm not an anorak on these things but they would be nicer as full stock early models but £7k
The first bike I ever fell off was a puch Grand prix, it was a JPS just like that and it fukin hurt.

That would be a good buy esp prior to this year. Now though it’s a lot harder bringing bikes in from the EU. I suspect that’s another reason for the increase in values in the Uk it’s no longer worth importing and consequently the supply has dried up.

Andy No the FS1E's are correct as they should be. For around 6 months prior to the restricted versions coming in, they produced a DXA (Chappy Red) with the larger plastic side panels and the Blue A (drum front brake). They should have frame numbers 394-200xxx and 394-300xxx if they are correctly framed. Cheers |

Andy Yes they are both quite rare due to the limited time they were produced. My Dad purchased a Chappy Red DXA brand new in July 1977 to commute on and gave it to me for my 16th Birthday in Feb 1983. Of course I mucked it up with a Micron pipe and other cr*p lol |
