I have always fancied a Z1 900 in the style of AC Sanctuary but that is out of reach so I bought a new Z900RS instead which is my daily ride. My next project is an early GPZ900R which will be with me soon, once I have come to terms with selling one of my plackies…… I've got plenty of spares if needed. Their in the way

Never managed to get it started though. Previous owner drove it home from the sale and never touched it for 10 years. Probably wasn't a positive experience. I plan to use it for a Milliard type YPVS four since it already has "engine changed" in the papers but no mention of to what type of engine :-) If I were to put a single in it I'd go for a Husaberg 650

Used to be nr750 , these days it’s a thousand and one things but at the moment rd400. Enough to seriously think about getting an engine for one as I already have a project rd250 that could house it.

Quite clearly he wants an rd400 the fact you live in a two stroke bubble where all 2 strokes are free or cheap doesn’t denigrate our desire for our youth.

Lost 2 younger fitter mates this year and you can’t take your money with you so the cost don’t matter. Sold a running power valve not many years ago for £500 ish, the market can change quick. Bought my first new bike in 2011 and might as well as given that away, cost me 9500 sold it a year later for 4500. Is an rc30 really 20 times better than a vfr750? Having a few physical issues the bmw 1000 with quick shifter and auto blipper look to be something I would enjoy, don’t they also have electronic suspension? They would be great for a while, everything else would seem really slow, how long could that be kept up though? Even cruising would be fast, sorry to any Bmw owners or anything of that ilk, everyone to their own but to me the thought of riding any fast bike on small amounts of throttle seems a waste. The few I used to ride with since schooldays that still have big bikes won’t let their egos get something more manageable, they would cite that it’s nice to have the power there when you need it. I suspect it’s for when they are tailgated for riding slowly, they certainly don’t open them up any other time. I was unfortunate enough to take something like a 2500 mile trip to Italy and back in company with two 1000cc bikes, I was on a 500 and I had to ride so slowly so they could keep up that I even came to the conclusion that I could have managed with a 125 and still wouldn’t be flat out everywhere, ridiculous.

An 89 yz250wr as i had one on the road in the early 90s i made it look like a dt125r used to go out looking for tdr,s to piss off had an xt600 speedo on and used to go right off the clock wheelies up to 75 the most fun ive ever had on a bike in my life, wouldnt mind a 750 turbo but getting a bit nuts for money nowadays.
