Hi All,

I have been hankering for an MC18 for a while (probably 20 years), but they dont seem to come up very often now (I wont go into 'should have bought one 10 years ago' ... if only...)

I saw one on ebay recently that needed a lot of work, and bid up to my £500 ish limit, and was outbid. That got me thinking about my expectations.

I want a rough one to restore, but not smashed bodywork. I'd prefer a black/red r5K with high pipes. I know about the crank issue and understand MC21 cranks or engine can be made to fit.

So the obvious questions, What would you say the going rate is? I see some MC16s on Ebay for £1500 which seems silly, and I wont even mention MC28s.

Am I expecting too much and living in the past ?

Comments? Vincent
