Is that a true representation of their current value?

Offered from the same collection is the actual 1977 MV Agusta 832cc Monza superbike that was tested by 'The Motor Cycle' magazine at 147mph, making it the fastest production machine in the world at that time. This stunning piece of Italian exotica had had four owners when it was purchased by the current vendor in 1991 and has covered only 6,612 miles from new. Estimate £30,000 – 35,000.

Coming up at Bonhams on 17th October, at the Stafford Show, UK. :mouthwate ]]> Classic Harvey http://www.mvagusta.net/forum/showthread.php?t=33703 http://www.mvagusta.net/forum/showthread.php?t=33665&goto=newpost Tue, 24 Aug 2010 15:15:18 GMT Okay, not MV but definitely classic.

There I was, on holiday in Languedoc last week, beautiful day and we're swimming at Bize-Minervois when a convoy of grunting bikes rolls into the centre of the village and a bunch of old geezers dismount and head for the local bar. My brother and I headed for the bikes to see what the fuss was about.... Ratiers - a BMW copy made with BMW parts in France in the late 50s!! Trés interessant.....

Also the contact breaker Gap and timing setup. The bike is running but struggles a bit in 4th gear and is very difficult to restart when hot. regards Rae:brutale: Can anyone tell me what the correct sparkplug and gap is for a 150cc engine.

They also have some LOVELY other lightweights for sale and I'm sorely tempted. The Bianchi & Cimatti are gorgeous!

This is what he did:
- take the engine out of the frame
- dismantle it and check the bits
- rebore etc
- coating and baking
- fit a new piston, crank, bearings, seals etc
- put the engine back together and put it back in the frame
- adjusting and testing

Now my question: how many hours of work is that? (normal to worst case scenario)

PS To put it in perspective:
My bike's a 125cc single cylinder 4 stroke and definitely not a restoration project.
I rode the bike to the shop, the engine was not seized.
The mechanic has a copy of the workshop manual + parts catalogue. I delivered all the new parts to him, except the bearings.

I'd really appreciate your answers.
