Hi there
Seeking peoples views please.
Locally there is a K100RT with a sidechair and leading link. Cosmetically showing its age, but, certainly serviceable. The motor is a little "rattly" but not disturbingly so although does show 230k on the clock. Chair is 1 1/2 seat with boot, running lights etc but no brake. So going to need work to get it up to scratch and "pretty". Price is probably around the $7k.
However, there is a 1970 CJ750 done 2200km since importation following restoration. It is impeccable. But, limited on power and speed with a top of 100km/hr. No leading link and the cchair is only a single seater. Does have reverse gear which I'm sure would be handy. Price is around $9k.
The K is a K and a roomy chair but needs work. But, it is a K!
The CJ750 is a pretty good reproduction of a R71, but, its not a Beamer and probably not welcome is ones company, but, did I mention it is impeccable? It is a 1970 so still a vintage even if it is a Chinese vintage and of my birth year.
Although it would be good to go far afield e.g. Bundy or "out west" chances are it will be smaller jaunts of a couple hundred k out from Brisbane. Trouble is to get out of Brissy means highway riding for a bit and with the CJ's power and speed could be a drag.
Any peoples views and thoughts would be appreciated. If any one has a chair, brackets leading link etc I do have a K100RS that could take a chair once the output shaft is done on it. The low km K100RS I have will stay a solo!
Look forward to hearing back from people.
Cheers, Chris.
