Sadly, the little 350 Strada will have to go

Post by Papa Lazarou »

I have an operation coming up-my left leg remains broken from last year's crash and it'll need re-breaking.

So the Strada will have to go to fund the time off work with no income.

As all will know, there were a few problems with this bike when I first got it but it now runs perfectly.

I'll be keeping the Griso. :)

Offers?

Asking price? PM me. Final price? PM me.

Good grief, am I getting stick on FB. For some reason, peeps think I want £5500. I don't. It's not worth that.

OK, so what do you want? It might be worth putting some details up about the machine as I only ever drop in here to see what's for sale. I'm sure there will be others too.

replied. It's been a long week so not the best reply.

I need to sell as I have an operation coming up and need two month's worth of income to cover recuperation.

From the original seller (but much more done since):

I bought this bike in January of this year as a project to occupy me in my retirement through the winter months. It’s taken longer than I expected but there were mitigating circumstances. The bike has been off the road since the mid 93 and stored in a dry garage hence condition and the low mileage. It looked sad but I knew it would be a good project and could be brought back to it’s former glory, here it is for your perusal:
Completely refurbished aqua blasted and powder coated frame and all paintwork stripped back to bare metal by same means and repainted.
Tank, Mudguards front & rear, Side panels.
New decal badges.
New steering stem roller bearings top & bottom.
New front and rear wheel bearings.
New brake pads & shoes.
Brake master cylinder - overhaul kit.
Brake caliper - overhaul kit.
Front suspension rebuild with new stanchion tubes.
New Hagon rear shocks.
New swing arm bushes.
New electric regulator.
New ignition switch and two keys.
Stator ignition coil rewind.
Carburetors ultrasonically cleaned and overhauled.
New handlebars & hand grips.
New instrument bezels and mounting.
New battery - Motoblat.
New tyres.
New clutch lever.
New brake light switch.
New fuel tap
New headlight connections and wiring.
Centre stand stripped and rebuilt with new tubes.
New fasteners on all fittings.
Engine oil change.
New cam belt.
Tappets adjusted.
New spark plugs & HT cables.
Starts first kick most of the time now with no choke.
All receipts supplied for all items and work carried out.


Since then, it has been professionally timed, new NLM transducers, replacement cam belt, new tank decals, brakes actually work now, compression is excellent, valves gapped properly, gear box work, and it does well over 90 etc. It was not a good runner when I got it but is now excellent. MOT to March 2018. Carbs stripped, thoroughly cleaned and all new jets.

Off to Croatia soon. Then Ebay for this Morini.

A few bites so far and I will wait for the last person, of course. Then auction.
