New Purchase CSR650 H1 was created by Tommotbird
Just thought I would show you this bike that I bought on Ebay here in the UK.
It runs sort of OK but the exhaust system is pretty rusty- I just happen to have a spare Mac system that I bought for a KZ750 Ltd which should be compatible.

I will probably just get it running OK for the summer and use it as my local runabout and maybe think about restoring it at a later date.
Cost me 300 pounds sterling, don't know whether you guys would call that a good deal or not

I still think that The Gringo has more bikes than me!!!!

pretty good looking. i just picked up an H1 as well. Working on getting the brakes and everything in tip top shape, more work than I thought it would be.

Damn... looks clean and as you mentioned, a little tweaking should be just fine... Damn fine ride...

300 pounds sterling... Hmmm, is it different than 300 pounds of platinum these days....

NOTE: Not sure overseas but here in America, thief's have been stealing exhaust systems for the platinum and yes, I was one of the unfortunates.... Stole it right off my truck while in my drive way!

BTW, not sure any of us have as many bikes as Gringo!
SOB has more running rides than a bike shop...

Geoff that looks like a nice find. Your collection of bikes mirrors mine pretty closely. If I ever make it over to merry old England I'll know where I can go to borrow a vintage bike to terrorise the countryside with. How many miles are on this one?

Oh and OMR just so you know I actually sold one of my bikes last week.:laugh:
