Any chance of a biker in the Taunton area going to look at a bike for me? It's in a dealer's in Taunton (Graham's Motorcycles) Also, are these guys kosher?

(I just want an eye casting over it to see if it looks genuine before I travel 170 miles)

Think he just wants someone to do a general bike checksmile I'd hope he'd be ringing first to speak to them about it anyway, just to check the basics.

Just thought about what I would want to know if I lived 170 miles away, that shop has been going for years, well known in Taunton, not a massive chain, local guys and yes I would buy a bike from them

Thanks, chaps. I will indeed be calling them first. That's two recommendations for the firm; they're prolly ok, eh?

I'm not very close but that looks like a bastardised KTM LC4 engine - is that right?

No Yamaha XTZ motor. Probably the best bit about the bike, the MZ stuff will be crude and the WP stuff needs servicing, best to consider as a 2 wheel Skoda - (ie VW engine/running gear etc).

Dealer has good reputation though.
