I ran across this bike recently. As you can see on the pics it was used as a delivery bike. It starts easily and runs well. Took it for a spin around the parking lot and there are no obvious rattles or anything strange that I could see in the about 100m ride I had.

It does however have an oil leak. Nothing too major as far as I can see. It is completely original and complete and the only mod is the delivery box added on the back which can just be unbolted. Apparently a new cylinder head was fitted for whatever reason somewhere last year. At the moment it is surplus to requirement and the current owner will consider a reasonable offer and sell it.

To be honest, I know very little about these bikes in general apart from the fact that they seem to be aimed at being used on a farm or suchlike(no idea why it is being used as a delivery bike.)

I am considering this as a project bike but as I am not living on a farm not too sure how suitable it will be in town. It has all the paperwork and the licence is fully paid up.

My question for those in the know : what would a reasonable price be (apparently it is a 2017 or 2018 model and has 36 k on the clock.) Is this worth restoring? Are spares easily available etc etc.

Any advice would be appreciated. Maybe there is someone on here that has more use for it than me and it can be passed on.

Would like to hear from anyone that has an opinion
