Leaking tank, leaking tap, disc pads and some lights.
Though when I spoke to them the first time his list went on and on including things like the rear wheel not aligned but for some reason that wasn't included in the end...
I think you're right!

My 2008 RS 50 has been sitting in the garage for a while now so I decided it was time to get her MOT back.
Took her down to the garage and they reckon it's gonna cost £500 to sort it all out. Most of that on labour...
So now I'm stuck with an unbelievably fun RS 50 that I can't do anything...
We can't forget the sr542 from deus of course

Crazy what a name and being on TV can do to the value.
Not that I'm doubting the undeniable skill that goes into their bikes, they're awesome.
eBay search cafe racer and you'll see a couple done by joe bloggs generally going for less than the un-modded ones

I could always go for an sr 400 or 500
There doesn't seem to be a hell of a lot of bikes in the UK for donors, and if there are they're not exactly cheap

Either that or try to mod an off road bike but I get the impression that is much harder? Would be great to have the mono shock.

Thank you to all of you for the helpful posts.
A little about me: I live in the UK. I've always been a tinkerer taking things apart etc. but never done anything as drastic as this. I have family and friends who I can look to for welding and the likes but the rest I would plan to do myself...
