:welcome2: Jibber
I would be inclined to go with what Olli says on keeping the bike you have. Besides that one in the Yard looks a little over priced for whats there, it looks as if someone has taken the best parts and put yours together as a running bike, but youve seen and heard them so your call really.
If you dont go for them tell us about them bikes left in the yard would you. I'm sure one or two here might be intrested if the seller would take a much lower offer!

Nobody offered these out as a welcome yet so :bouncing-boobs:

The vj has started to come apart to refinish the frame a swing arm etc, stripped the .5 down, top end looks ok, slight scoring on one cap, cams fine, bores fine, gears have started to wear though, i thought the tank may have been dent free, but theres a gob of filler, to what extent i dont know, engine number matches the frame....overall...could have been worse. The vj seems to be mostly original to me, coming apart nicely
