Fantic 240

Does anybody know where I can get a new one ?..... I know that there was one on e-bay recently, but that disappeared prior to auction finish.

I dont think there are any new ones left. If you get a good straight frame, it is relativly easy to build a "new" one althought it will be expensive. E.g. Rear Rim 70 quid (tubeless) stainless spokes, 60 quid a set, Tyres 150 pair, rebuilt 212 motor (either 240 ,241 or 243) about 600 quid, sand blasted parts 100 quid, powder coated frame about 100, silencer (WES) 55 quid, plus a good base bike (700 quid?

It is quite easy to get to about 2500 pounds. Dave rebuilt one and had it on here. It looked like new. Maybe look through the old posts and make him an offer????
