I've got one with a genuine 102 miles from new on it :) Good luck with the sale. (Stored since September 1987)

got myself a similar deluxe model with only 11,000 miles on it in the UK for £300 (~$480) Doing a street scrambler project with it, high level BSA bushman type exhausts, knobbly ish tyres, cadbury's chocolate chromatic sating metallic purple tank, chocolate coloured leather ribbed seat, Harley...
