QuoteThis listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing.

Probably the reserve price..!!

It's all in my shed now and I will list what I don't need shortly, which is most of it and the rest is in the skip already.

I prefer to swap the good stuff for bits that I do need and then sell the rest. It is all new and perfectly preserved but mainly complete pistons, cylinders complete(A&B), valves, springs, petrol caps, finned exhaust clamps (fixing to head), Brembo calipers, air boxes, etc.

I can't say what I paid for it because the final deal included another bike which is now also in the shed. Suffice to say, the listing was indeed wrong and needed to be pulled because it is was certainly not even worth the reserve price or anything like it...
