It's a clean restoration, but I just don't see an $8000 starting bid here, much less $11000 Buy It Now... :?: :think:

Aftermarket shocks too. Unless the bike is super rare, I can't see an enduro ever being worth that much..

You know what Ian, maybe they are the correct shocks, I remember selling a set of NOS ones and they did have a small multi coloured label on the base of them and for that asking price maybe it is largely built out of NOS :eh:

Had a F8 way back when, and it was a good thing, definitely handled well for the time. Everyone would let me go first on a trail ride, so that big, wide rotary-valve engine could knock all the crap out of the way for everyone else!! Not too bad a road bike either! But if you got off of the F8, after a day in the boonies, and on to the trusty H2, instant wheelie time!!! :lol:

Nah, the shocks are those Redwings that have cropped up on eBay. Not very sturdy either, right Walms?.. :think:
