    A quick gander on fleabay, motorcycle parts "AP50" suggests you'll spend almost that again on parts + whatever paint costs.

    Probably a lot less grief and not much more £££ to buy one already done

    Or this fresh off the boat from Japan, costs less and needs less work http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Suzuki-Col...gAAOSwPcVVk9Ds

    That's not a bad price.

    I was looking at a fizzy on gumtree, tidy, but they were asking £3750 !!!

    I suspect the bent front end would become a pain in the bum to sort. NOS stanchions are not that pricey (circa £70 for a pair) but the upper bits I couldn't find with a (brief) search.

    I'm very cynical, if it was an easy fix then the dealer would have done it, UK registered + MOT'd it and sold it for a lot more.

    If I had the money to invest right now I'd try to predict what the next nostalgia wave will be, buy cheap now and sell it on when they rise. I reckon stuff along the lines of RS125/NSR125, lovingly restored and kept in your sitting room for another decade could pay off.
