skyrider Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 looks a bit too shiny for the salty winter roads though Quote
dynax Posted October 23, 2019 Author Posted October 23, 2019 would need to get an original exhaust, the aftermarket one is on the wrong side, bit of bargaining power there that should be worth a couple of hundred off the asking price will give them a call tomorrow and see if they're open to offers Quote

dynax Posted October 23, 2019 Author Posted October 23, 2019 looks a bit too shiny for the salty winter roads though true, but in 2 years will be able to re-class as a historic vehicle Quote

dynax Posted October 23, 2019 Author Posted October 23, 2019 does that mean i will have to get both Quote
fastbob Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 ER5 ER5 ER5 ER5 I'm deaf, i'm deaf, feck me Bob so you reckon an ER5 then If you can borrow a van you can have this one for £700 and I'll chuck in a spare engine for an extra £50 . Quote
Old-codger Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 What about Suzuki GS500 there are thousands about cheap to run and spares are no problem. As Bob says er500 same applies. Quote
skyrider Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 or a honda cb 500 (i used to have one) Quote
dynax Posted October 23, 2019 Author Posted October 23, 2019 That is a very tempting offer, what is the overall length, would fit in a peugeot like this Quote
skyrider Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 my cb went to its new home in a tranny connect Quote
dynax Posted October 23, 2019 Author Posted October 23, 2019 my cb went to its new home in a tranny connect Mine also comes with an electric winch inside Quote
skyrider Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 do you reckon you will snap fastbobs hand off for the er Quote
dynax Posted October 23, 2019 Author Posted October 23, 2019 do you reckon you will snap fastbobs hand off for the er I think i might, i'm going to J & S tomorrow so if they have one i'll have a sit on it and see how it feels Quote
fastbob Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 That is a very tempting offer, what is the overall length, would fit in a peugeot like this Well before we get into that I'd better add a few details . Firstly the bike probably needs a rear tyre . It's on SORN with no MOT , I haven't got round to telling DVLA about the engine swap and it's very loud because of that tiny exhaust can . I don't know the length but I will look it up . Quote

I don't know the length but I will look it up . The exhaust would be a problem, have some neighbours that turn very nasty at the slightest bit of noise, tyre and mot not an issue, it would be 2-3 weeks before i could come down anyway, would need to make arrangenents for someone to be with my missus while i'm gone Quote

It was a spur of the moment thing but I was vaguely considering selling it at some point. Quote

It was a spur of the moment thing but I was vaguely considering selling it at some point. I will need to sit on one to see if the riding position is ok, tbh it's not a style of bike i would consider out of the blue, i do prefer a more upright position but i am open to change Quote
dynax Posted October 24, 2019 Author Posted October 24, 2019 [mention]fastbob[/mention] went and sat on some Kawasakis at J & S, they all seem to have a similar styling with the tank shape and seat position, it wasn't uncomfortable just not what i would choose, it is a nice bike and a good offer but it isn't what i want, i think i will wait till after getting my full licence, i am edging towards a 70's/80's style of bike, although i did sit on a Vulcan that did feel quite good but was too big to fit through my gate Quote
