Depends upon what you consider the "vicinity"... LOL and... I have a couple under 5K miles...
Good luck in your search.
Best,

Sorry, i meant 5k (euro). "Vicinity" as in Europe itself. Too much red tape if i have to import one from outside the EU.

I understood what you you were saying. Sometimes I can't help myself.
I wish you good luck in your search. I think you may underestimate the value of bikes outside the US.
Hope you find one.
Best regards,

Ok, i will attempt at digging myself out of this hole (before it collapses in on me!) The thing is that i am looking for more of a project with a good engine. Im well aware of what a complete runner will set me back. Thanks

Nice one. You know the M's are more collectible albeit "fuglier" ?

Im not a collector or someone who wants to try turn a profit from a "rare" bike. Im just interested in riding unique motorcycles thats why i thought i would leave the more desirable M model for those for mentioned folks.

Well.... i have chickened out! The seller sent me a video of the bike running and the engine doesn't sound right (for Re5 standards) it seems to have a miss every now and then. Compression problem? CDI? Either way it could be a boat anchor so im passing on the opportunity.
