View Full Version : Major dilemma advice please
hey
right i brought a motorbike a few weeks ago 40k on the clock, MOT and tax for a few months, 1981 old W redge six volt electronics. dented like crazy and bodge job of paint in different spots, bad over spray etc.
this is the one i own at the moment. is a runner and have ridden it, but it revs high.
paid 330 delivered for it.
mentioned it to my local moped dealers and they have one 1 year newer, same colour, with 4k on the clocks, yes 4k from 1982. it had been sitting all winter out side and started first time on the button :eek: he mentioned a small thing that was a temp fix a few years ago and the previous owner used it for 3 years and is still running. being one year later its now a 12v model. and a few bits on the body have changed. nothing major, and is looking in near mint condition compared to mine.
price, 150 quid. not MOT or TAX
WHAT DO I DO
do i keep my 6v model and restore it as planned, or do i sell it and buy the 12v with 4k on the clocks. and then do a restoration from there.
pleaseeeee help lol

Well im not really into bikes, but if i was i think i would buy the 12v one too, make good of the other one and try and make a profit buy selling it on.
Buy you writing this thread makes me think you would like the newer bike
yeh im gonna do the restro what ever. i just think the new one would be a much better base for a restro, and its is much nicer nick. yeh 150 can be found alright lol. but i think i will always have the niggle in the back of my mind about the temporay fix that has been done as its a small part in the engine something to do with the electronics, think its the dizzy equilivant and is impossible to find the part needed.
edit, yeh i think i do want it, i cant just let it go as they are rare as funk and barly come up.
martin, get the lower mileage one and use the other as a spares bike bud. 12v electrics are far better than 6v, trust me after my old triumph i'd do a conversion on any more i have..

Keep both, bikes are more fun then cars, but not so warm:cool:
