Vertemati S501

Hello everyone,

Thanks for stopping by.. and please also excuse my ignorance on this rare bike.

My father passed away last year and left me in capable hands of this beast.
He got himself a little project to work on after work hours.. it’s a Vertemati S501.
His plan was to clean it up and get it back on the road and show case it to all. Sadly that came to an end before he really got the chance to get his teeth stuck into the build.

We are a family of bikers.. always have been but I am pretty much stumped when it comes to this bike. I know it’s a rare one and the best way to put it is ‘you have to want one to own one.’

Sorry to keep going on.. I’ll get to the point:

I don’t really want to leave it to fall to bits in the shed. I’d love it to go to someone who knows what this bike is.. what it’s capable of and maybe continue my dad vision of bringing it to it former glory.

So I guess what I am looking for is interest and information.
What’s it worth?
Where’s the best place to sell?
Where can you get new parts for it if I were to take on the challenge of giving it the overhaul?

I‘ve had the bike running.. took it around the block a few times and boy it pulls. Hard to keep the front end down. It’s like a train.
From what I can see it has everything with it sat there ready to be put on the road or converted into an MX toy.


Thank you all for your time in advance.
Kyle
