As the more astute of you are aware I have sold all my SRX bits due to me having also sold off the last of my SRX-4 s (no7). I was getting a bit pi$$ed off with having to adjust, repair, or otherwise modify bits to keep it going. I enquired about all sorts of single cylinder bikes around the 400cc range. I rode a Mash Scrambler, an SR400 , a KTM390, a BMW G310R, and sat on lots more. The SWM 440 wouldn't start 🤔 and I couldn't get hold of a Herald 400 at the time (dealers on holiday or just couldn't be ar$ed to reply to emails messages or voice mails!)
I finally settled on the BMW for several reason
*They took my SRX in part ex and gave me the price I was asking (2K).
* I was told to take the test bike out and not to come back for 3 hours
* Cup of coffee supplied and duly topped up regularly
* Salesman knocked £150 off when I asked for them to supply a fly screen that I showed an example of, but because it wasn't a genuine OEM part they can't fit.
* 2 year BMW warranty even though the bike is 15 months old which includes 2 year breakdown cover!
* I find it extremely comfortable to ride
* I liked the colour (Pearl white with Moto sports decals)
It is actually a thumper (313cc four stroke single) but is quite a revvy and eager little engine and has a big GF (grin factor).
So I hope I'm still allowed to stay in the TC 😉 and hopefully put it on the stand at Stafford if we have one.
