For a project it would need to be half that at least. Mind ewe I'm a frugal sort, or so I've been told.  |

If it's sat for 15 years it could require a lot of work as rubbers, seals etc will most likely be knackered.
Storing it is often worse than riding it, if it hasn't been prepared first.

If you enjoy the fettling side of things, so do all the work yourself, it's likely to cost a couple of hundred quid by time you've finished, to get it half-tidy & MOT'd. I'm not as "frugal" as some (VT500E anyone  ?) but even my bulging softy-southerner purse would only see it as worth maybe £600 as it stands - & I would particularly like to have one to see how they compare with the later, slower, Divvy 9  . |

I would suppose unsuitable for a FB like me. (You can Fek orf with the FJR's are unsuitable for a FB like me Trev. ) |

What are these Enfields like anyway ? They ain't too bad . Highlight of the weekend - watching from behind as Martin (on Ian's Royal Enfield) overtook Tris (Fireblade), Speighty ('Busa) and IIRC, Mac (Tiger 1050) - ALL IN ONE GO !!! Who says you need 100+BHP to live dangerously ?? And it DID sound wonderful at full chat. |

(You can Fek orf with the FJR's are unsuitable for a FB like me Trev. ) they are ok around the lanes, but only go about 75mph, fun though, suitability would be up to you, but I never found it an issue! |

I won't be passing your way for a few weeks yet, was down the M6 a couple of weeks ago going to the Manchester bike show, didn't see the show in the end, I had to turn round 20 miles from Manchester and head back when my Mother in law took ill. |
