Buy the TC... 

TC handles big Jim no bother. A man of considerable girth...

And Aussie cars were uncultured, brash and just bloody worked mate...

But TCs are great bikes. I'm seriously thinking of pursuing legal plates for my one. It started 3rd kick after 15 odd yrs sitting and is a hoot to ride...

Guys, guys. This is OS.

Buy the TC missing parts and spend years and $$$ not getting it going, as is the way...

BUT LOOK WHAT I FOUND...

Oh looks a bit hard...

Actually, I have these on file. Item 33 is Igntn switch...

I think it's Acc...

Can confirm tonight.

Dammit @yoeddynz now I'm gonna have to get my little CD175 out of the rafters.

Got a hankering for small Honda twin action...

(Would make a sweet wee cafe racer with a single saddle, clipons and maybe a bikini fairing)... 

I honestly don't know, but as it's WOF'ed and Rego'ed it's prob about right at $3k or just over? Been a while since I bought anything like that (I do have a 69 CD175 in the shed) I like these little Honda parallel twins, a mini Bonneville... 
Just read description and sounds like it's fairly sorted, apart from pipes, I do know you'd spend at least that much on one doing it up yourself.

Best thing is to take a look and see how it feels sitting on it. If it fits, feels and sounds good you'll know if you want it...

That would be a fun bike one-up, and being Honda there'd be parts available.
But yes a bit steep price wise, even allowing for cheap classic rego...

I was thinking of him at the Burt last weekend...

LOL

(Thank you mods for shifting comment to discussion)
Can we now hit that article with comments about Imp handling mods...?

Cool... 
Quick tip (you prob already know), but lightly dragging the rear brake at low speed stabilises the bike and makes tighter turns much easier.
Might be useful for such a behemoth... 

man that's a lot of bike for the money... 

Barry up some musical air horniness pls...

Ironhead's the same. High flow low press, lucky to get 5 psi...

Loads of Gixxers have glass panels replacing the broken plastics. I'd be surprised to find original ones...

Man those are big numbers...

Spoken as someone with an ironhead that runs at near zero.
Like my old HQ ute that had a pressure gauge, all it did was worry you...

This trip is for our 25th wedding anniversary, if we spent it watching motorsport it would probably be the last..

Oh in that case, come further south and let her watch you ride a postie bike around a bonfire drunk on terrible home brew in my paddock. Can even throw in a broken JAP stationary engine to tinker with.

Can't get more romantic than that...

Get 3 triumphs and have a quick release plate...
