Thanks Tim, but I have now bought the Kanguro from Shrewsbury. I had a budget that would have stopped me even daring to bid on yours! I should think if you bump your post up a little it may get some interest.

You know the rule ;)

If they weren't so high in the saddle I could be tempted myself. Ideal for those VMCC runs that take to grass-centred, gravel strewn muddy lanes.

I've asked to go and view it tomorrow. The listing is pretty poor and I think he will miss a lot of potential customers because of it. I would risk a buy it now without viewing but he wants you to pay first then exchange contact details. Call me cynical but I like being cynical when It's my money at stake 8)

Hoping he will reply soon and that it's all above board, then I could be bringing another Kangu back to life. This is all for the common good of course as I wouldn't need to keep this one, I'd just polish it up get my sheepskin coat out and punt it out at an autojumble :wink:

We'll see.

Around 35bhp and about 320lbs weight. Ish on both counts, plenty of specs online though. So not a proper enduro and fairly heavy by modern standards with a pretty high seat as well. So all in all a load of rubbish really, you don't want one of those. 8)

I've messaged the seller twice but no reply. A mate of a mate has had a reply, maybe he knows me and doesn't want me to have it??? :shock:

Thanks for that Steve. Had the modern ktm's, ccm644's etc and now that I don't bounce very well I like the plodders more. Currently got a modern Enfield Himalayan with 24.5 bhp so maybe the Kanguro is too much for me, lol.

Not at all. Anyway I eventually contacted him and it's now sold. I'm just not telling you who bought it though... :wink:
