while browsing my local auction site here in NZ i stumbled on this M2,there was no pics on the auction,only a brief description so i bid on a whim.
how could i resist,

M2











When i went to pick it up,I found it came with polished rims,headers and V&H pipe.
Its a pity the paint works scratched up..
She woulda been a stunner when first done.Actually still looks horny even sratched up.
I have nearly stripped it down only got the swingarm to come out.I'm gonna flick off the parts i don't need/want/fit my X1.

i'd say find a motor and have yourself a nice bike that is more 2up friendly for the longer rides. shame to see a good chassi go to waste.

Unfortunately its been derego'd and the motors are bloody expensive here, would just about be cheaper to buy another bike.(also a lack of money)

I did think long and hard about repowering it.

There not destroying good bikes to make Choppers are they I was hoping you people would be above that.
Looks like a real good starting point for a 100 inch S&S motor.

no it wasn't broken down for a chopper..
Long story short,

mate bought it back with noisy engine,
Mate said i'll pay for it,
never did ,
so its still sitting at shop/or was.
with a 8k NZ bill

As you can gather hes an exmate now.

There is a good reason they say never lend your bike or your girl friend to any one. You may not get them back in one piece!

If the title is good I would set it to the side and wait for a sporty, tuber or XB engine to pop up. You know the $500 smoker special is gonna come by!!!
