Chatter / Re: Bargain thumper for someone?
« Last post by iansoady on Today at 03:03:36 PM »
I've done it for a couple of bikes but both classic (read old) Brits. I'm not sure about any hoops a new bike may have to jump through. I do wonder why he says there's a spare registered frame.....

Should be an easy one to register. (I managed to register a 34 yr old grey import without too much hassle) As many will know, this uses a version of the old XBR engine.

Well, at the moment my main steed is a triumph 900 speed twin. Also the RS250, which I thoroughly enjoy riding, so much so that I’m building the 2nd tracker based bike. My plan is that once it’s built I’ll sell the one I bought off Kevin and then concentrate on getting my 650xbr tracker FINALLY finished. Then possibly sell the triumph speed twin. So ultimately have the two tracker based bikes in the garage. The 650 and the 250.
I’m making steady progress on the 250. Simply not enough hours in the day 😏. Plus, I keep letting things/ideas run away with me. So what started out as a reasonable quick, cheap(ish) build is turning into quite the opposite 😁👍. All good fun tho, and you only live once.
Cheers, Michael

Good Morning Michael. That's interesting. Can't wait to see what he makes of it / compared to the Guerrilla.

I forgot to mention fuel consumption is over 70 mpg, which I think is similar to the RS.

 I can't recall which bikes you are currently riding, apart from the RS250 you recently acquired from Kevin.

Morning Martin. Glad to hear you’re still enjoying the new purchase. Big bro is taking delivery of yet another new bike this Saturday to sit along his guerilla. A royal Enfield scram. I’ll report back after this coming weekend
Cheers, Michael

Update : I've now clocked up over 500 miles and the engine is loosening up nicely so I'm able to use more of the available performance which is perky.

I've adjusted the pre load on the rear suspension as the roads round here are very bumpy and mostly full of pot holes (where isn't these days).

My latest conclusions are that this was a good buy on my part and I'm very pleased to have a modern light weight thumper that will pretty much go anywhere and do most things.

As Michael's brother (Andrew?) said it's like an updated CB250 RS . It's physically larger and weighs a bit more but that's not a problem for me although a smaller person might find it a bit on the large size.

Michael,

Best, Bill
