New 2018 Honda CRF 250 with full Yoshimura system added to the family

Already gone to work with spare wheels, gearing, plastics and graphic yet to install. First bike I've had that has a lithium battery so I had to buy a different bloody trickle charger

My son is a very happy (and lucky) boy

That he is...Im sure he(and you!) will have lots of fun with that...

In Fastline bikes today, spotted this RVF400, next to no miles but £11,000....mental...




Amazingly place to spend a bit of time , luckily for me, what interested me most was sold..

I like Fastline, always worth a look when I'm in the area.

To counter all the nice bikes being posted here's another Ebay 'special'



Special mention must go to the caliper mounting brackets (both ends) the top yoke......





what an absolute turd, the guy was asking £3.5k

Those Tokico 6-pots regularly used by early 2000's Kawasaki's are so st, I doubt it would make a difference how they were mounted!

Which button on top yoke for launching missiles?

I'm mean what... Why... Wtf.
The hassle to make that frankly st caliper line up right on a smaller disc on the rear is bizarre.

I wouldn't give £500 for that.

That bike is absolute ste, it needs burning.

It's not so much the fact its a st tip its the fact he values it at over three grand.

I mean beauty is in the eye of the beholder but that's up there with the worst I've seen.

[curlie467]

Love it that he just took the caliper off the front and put it on the back
Mounting points are pretty special but even better is that a good condition turbo would get well north of 3.5k anyway

If you head out into any town or city in the U.K. on a weekend night you’ll see plenty of women with exactly the same opinion of themselves. Not so much mutton dressed as lamb, as gristle dressed as mutton

External attractiveness has no relation to goodness or essential quality. I shoulda remembered that buying a blade.

While the mods on that are awful, I can't help but think given the values of GPz750Turbos, using this and getting a blown/damaged non-turbo GPZ750, you could make quite a nice slightly modernised bike out of the two.

Having a browze in Smiths at the bike mags and noticed a magazine for BMW GS Owners, next to Gay Times mag..coincidence?

Not wanting to be embarrassed by looking at this sort of magazine , I picked up a copy of Gay Times and left as quick as I could..

Guess the hoses, fairing 'mouth' and red mudguard gave it away.
£18k, import I guess by the 'EXUP' headlights rather than flat ones:

eta - weird rear light, big indicators and the 25/35/45 speedo - US bike?

Still very nice.
