What bike are you obsessing about today?

[LiamB]

Thought we had one of these threads, but I've done a little search and it appears not.

Today I would sell a testicle for one of these

[edit] did a quick autotrader search for DRZ 400's, only one going within reasonable distance to me, boooo also quite dear, whats the typical going rate for one of these?

Edited by thatdude on Friday 14th November 11:23

Yeah decent ones seem to be few and far between Prices seem to change but looks like you can get a good one from anywhere between £2000 and £3000

Liam, you'd love a DRZ....great bikes, I wish i'd kept mine tbh such a hoot on my rural roads

I think I would! Deciding whether to get a sports bike or an SM/Trailie next year is going to be hard..

[LiamB]

This is an everyday obsession.. a CR500 Supermoto

thatdude said:

Thanks LiamB, I'm now obsessing about DRZ400SM's today

But someone else here mentioned XT660's too



Hmmmmm

hmmm indeed

Glad I could help! I like XR400's but they might be a bit underpowered for you if you're used to more grunt http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-XR400R-DEPOSIT-NOW...


Today's obsession is one of these



Who's the lucky bugger that picked a mint one up a few weeks back? Think it was one of the northerners..

It was gay boy.

It was me, don't know who numb nuts is on about

Just lovely, can't think of any other bike apart from that and the Norton Domiracer that I would have in my front room


Todays obsession, back to R6's.. can you get on track with an A2 restricted licence?

[LiamB]

MotorsportTom said:

Yep no problems with A2 on track. First time licence was checked but nothing mentioned, 2nd time licence wasn't even looked at or mentioned.

This pleases me

CBR250RR

Looks amazing and the sound is just out of this world

Good luck ever finding one for sale though, I've been looking at the market for over a year now and can only remember one being for sale (for £2995 IIRC, In Preston). I gather most of them have had the engines nicked for cafe racer type projects.

True, I've been looking at them for a while and only ever seen tatty ones, or ones with that Tyga fairing kit which makes it look like an NSR125...


Suppose I'd settle for the 400 instead

Do Not Go There !!!

As a beginners bike they are bloody awful. The position is too extreme for someone with little or no experience, the steering is heavy, the seat is hard, you can't get rear sprockets for them off the shelf.......and that's just off the top of my head

I've only ever seen one, and it was being push started...

Mitzy had one as her first bike. They look nice for a 125, but that is where it ends...

Plastics also shatter and are impossible to buy, parts are just generally scarce. I looked at one once, glad I didn't get it.

[LiamB]

The obsession for the past couple of weeks has been 2002 shape R6's and K2/3 GSXR 600's... I have got quotes for both as just passed with a restricted licence and it is cheap enough.. and you can pick either one up for a decent price. And they both just look amazing!

Deranged Granny said:

When's the earliest you could get your licence, Liam?

First week of July as my birthday is right at the start, just in time for summer

Been saving up for it all for a bit!

[LiamB]

Still obsessing about what bike to choose for a first one, now I can't decide what I prefer out of these two

CBR600F

MK1 Bandit 600

Also seen a couple of CCMs I like the look of..
