He does . He's a heterosexual transvestite .

 

hmm ... strangely arousing

[Guest]

I wanna know how my bike change thread has degenerated into transvestites?

[skyrider]

yes it does make you wonder

[Guest]

yes it does make you wonder

 

But at least it's not Toyota Aygos and wristwatches!

Have you got a new bike yet [mention]XTreme[/mention] or are you still titting about with this wanky poll?

[Guest]

I'm glad you asked that Fro......cos this is the state of play!

Looks like it's going to be the week after next that it's available.......because there's a waiting list to get ITV's (MOT's) done due to the Covid shutdown.

And you can probably guess that it's going to be the G650GS.......the CRF250L would be better offroad for sure, but onroad it would struggle because of the distance I need to go to reach the abandoned shit.

I've done nearly all of the closer stuff......from now on it's going to be an hour or two to get to them. Doing that on a CRF (and I'd need to access motorways) would be hard going.

So it stacks up like this.......2007 DL650 38K kms + €1500 =

 

 

2015 BMW G650GS with 19K kms, 1 year warranty, 2 years ITV (MOT).

It's a no-brainer......I sell the Strom for what I paid for it 15 months ago, and the €1500 cash difference equates to the Pension I've had over the last 9 weeks.

[skyrider]

seems like a good deal then hope it turns out a good bike for you it certainly looks like what you need

[Bender]

So it's not jap, is that the engine made in china?

[Guest]

All Rotax components [mention]Bender[/mention]

The new G650GS is essentially the 2007 single-cylinder F650GS brought back into production with some minor modifications and with the engine assembled by Loncin in China instead of Rotax in Austria, but still using parts manufactured by Rotax in Europe. The finished engines are shipped back to BMW in Germany where the bikes are assembled.

That's what I said Chinese, ohhh dear how the mighty have fallen, never mind we thought a Chinese section was needed, it's going to be pretty busy I guess

[skyrider]

Twat!

It's not a Chinese company with a Chinese engine.......it's a German company with an Austrian engine.

Varaderos and Transalps were built in Spain.........but that doesn't make them Spanish bikes.

It's 2020. If anybody was going to buy a Chinese bike this year it was going to be Xtreme
