Have I done a bad thing? (drunken eBay purchase alert)

Dom1 · April 12, 2015, 02:20:26 PM

Plenty of choice on Devon TRF forum at the moment - WR, KTM or CRF?

Millhouse · April 12, 2015, 02:32:37 PM

Ktm

If KTM did a dual sport bike and I was minted - Then perhaps i'd consider one.

For now it's going to be WR250R (not F any more), CRF250L or KLX250.

A nice Softroader with LOW maintenance.

I'd steer clear of the Yam and Kwak and find a decent Honda.

Chojin · April 12, 2015, 07:39:48 PM

Plenty of them about - They're mostly out of my budget at £3.5k

The only problem with the CRF250L is that they're woefully underpowered - Nothing that a few mods won't address, but doing so adds £££s to the equation :/

Just buy a cheap gas gas and be done with it!

Well you listened to me well sorta......... You silly silly man....... Haha how much it setting you back?

Chojin · April 18, 2015, 10:52:53 AM

If I've taken your advice, does that mean it'll have no engine number?

It was riiiight at the very very top of my budget at £2995 - From a Gas Gas dealer though, so hoping it'll be legit

only if your lucky! I thought they cost more than that , got many miles on it?

Chojin · April 18, 2015, 12:07:26 PM

700 miles - its not a full on enduro bike, its a detuned 250 (and lower maintenance because of it). Its their trail bike - new they're 4k - this ones about 8 months old.

Dom1 · April 18, 2015, 12:15:56 PM

I knew as soon as I bought my DR that one of you lot would be along shortly with something newer and shinier.

When will you be out to play?

Chojin · April 18, 2015, 01:18:55 PM

Trust me it won't be shiny after one ride. Just need to get the fecker back from Leeds and I'll be out to play - ninja force anyone?

Seriously though if anyone has any recommendations for a motorcycle courier type person, let me know!

get someone to drive you up and ride it down , or if its the leeds near Maidstone (which I doubt) I could possibly deliver it?

Riding it back.

Unless it is within 20/30 miles I would forget it.
