The National Motorcycle Museum bought it, so at least I didn't have to take it back home with me (it's not mine, I was just the delivery man). I was interested in the Münch Mammut Lot No. 152 ( I think ) and was expecting it to reach around £50,000.00 but it did considerably better at £75,000.00 so that didn't come home with me either which is just as well as I don't have enough room in my garage and I can't afford it. Would have looked good in my lounge though.Joe.

Hi joe I know the museum have two F1,s already and have two blown F1 engines including the eccentric shafts, is a summation but I can only think they want another F1 for 1 reason.Regards Wayne

Museum bikes without engine internals? Whatever next!

[ZFD]

I know where new F1/P55 excentric shafts are.... if that was the problem.

Hi joeI told brian you had 2, the engine i veiwd at the tt was well blown. Regards wayne

Hi AllJust goes to show the danger of surmising, the NMM have not bought the F1 for the engine, its another reason.Regards Wayne
