Have to change the tyres first

so if its never been started who's to say that the electrics haven't rotted away.. not to mention the possibility of corrosion inside the engine. seems a bit of a gamble for that sort of money eh...

has it got a 50K reserve or somethin??

If it hasn't been correctly stored, every peice of rubber will be cracked and brittle. It could be a very shiny money pit.

Sounds like the seller thinks his bike is worth as much as a desmo rr.

The RZ500 was a better bike

Super over-use of capital letters too!

Same same.
I raced my RZ500 against the RG500 when they were both new. 85 I think. I'll see if I can find some pics??
I didnt find them better or worse. In fact very close, they had strenths & weaknesses & so did the RZ 500.

But I do remember the RZ500 winning the Castrol 6 Hour
It also won the 4 hour in QLD with a young Mick Doohan riding it.
So your probably right a " better bike"
