My first real bike was a 750 Paso and I have a very very soft spot for them.
Even more so now that I've found out through this site that the 16" wheels/tyres are not a problem.

It is ugly - BUT - I'm bidding on it so leave it alone!!!!

Yes - If I get it it will go back: RED!

Ok Gert, Jon,

What do you think it's worth - yeah I know we're guessing. Given it will cost £400(ish) to re-paint . . .

its not ugly. its a straight lookin bike. its green. its painted as in team colours. thats history sitting there for next to nothing AND you can take it for a blast(once the snow has melted). why is everyone so obsessed with paint when its how they ride and sound and stop and go round corners that matters?
happy new year you tarts! :thumbup: :cool: :)

For a complete runner with 12 months MOT I would think it's worth $1500-$2000.

Not much info on the listing tho. Weber? Dell's?

for 1k and 12000miles or km(even better) its a good deal. It is not that ugly that you should pass it up,for that price who cares what carbs it has :mrgreen: Hell if shipping wasn't a problem I'd buy it for a grand :thumbup:

Well it's at £686 as I write - about $1100(US). I'll wait until we get closer to the end but . . .

I hate the paint but bottom line I'm with nnnnnnnorman I sure as hell won't be looking at the paint if I'm riding her!
