A S2 Interceptor is going to be a very different kettle of fish! And you haven't told us much about the S2! I realise you're probably reluctant to give too much away but some background would help, is the S2 a runner, what is it's condition, do the numbers match, how original is it, does it have any of the extras (optional for 1969, standard for 1970) and finally, how much (approximately) is it?

REgards, Mark

what is it's condition, do the numbers match, how original is it,

all original never restored, the leather straps , everything

does it have any of the extras (optional for 1969, standard for 1970)

it has all the extras,options

and finally, how much (approximately) is it?

I should put $3000-$5000 in my pocket when its all over

James, thanks for revealing all! If you end up with money in your pocket that'll be a good deal. The bike looks very original except for those horrible cow-horn handlebars. It has all the 1970 extras as far as I can see but the tank has the 1969 logo on it, I think there is some doubt about when they changed over. When (if?) you buy it give it a good service, new oil and filter and check the crankshaft oil seal part number 49724 as these can degrade over time and you don't want to lose oil pressure to the big ends. Good luck!
