Sounds like a bargain, actually too much so. What would you do with it?? Parts have to be unobtainium I'd think. Not really track bike material. Vintage racing?? Artwork??

New stock paint job will cost you. You sure you will get your money out of it?? Paint doesn't look that bad. The little 350f's are pretty soft in price unfortunately. Miles different than the 400f.
