It's the real deal, well restored, but expensive!

One for the lunatic fringe of collectors at that price as you wouldn't want to ride it.
Knock off a zero and you could get a really good Yam mono to ride if air-cooled monos are your thing, which was a much better bike, or a 3 series Fantic, Gas Gas or Beta stripey which were much better still. And you'd have plenty of change for a few good twinshocks as well...
I'll never understand the obsession with these things, they weren't the best of the era by a long way.

Yet another for the polishers. Probably hidden away never to see another trial.
