I've got to sell my donor NTV 650 as I've stored it at work and I am about to be made redundant.
I've got two other NTVs and this bike has been used as a source of spares for them. It is virtually complete but needs extensive work if you want to put it back on the road. I've called it a barn find to give an indication of its condition, it has actually been in a warehouse at work for six years.
When it was parked up it was a runner (although it has done around 96,000 miles) but was suffering from the symptoms of fuel starvation occasionally (carbs?).
From memory, I've taken the exhaust off it, the front headlight, and the front caliper pistons and swapped the wheels so the tyres are knackered as well.
The wiring loom has also been messed with by a former owner e.g. the sidestand switch has been bypassed. There is no part of this bike that doesn't need at least cleaning/painting if not refurbishing.
I was going to Ebay it but thought I would offer it here first in the hope that it would go to an enthusiast who would make good use of it or if they are completely mad, rebuild it (I'm very fond of the old girl).
The bike would need to be collected in a van or on a trailer from West Sussex, BN16 3DD.
I'm not expecting much money for it so if you wan't it make an offer (but please don't insult me by taking the pi55).
I'll happily take some photo's if you want to know more and you are welcome to come and have a look (by appointment)

I'll add some photos in the next couple of days (by 22/10)
