It looks the dogs wotsits, ready for a GP250 race. Would you do that to the same level on your bike?

I wouldn't thats for sure

Why not?

andrewsmith · 23-10-10, 07:19 PM

I thought why not, then looked what been spent on it (will be getting close for 6k).
Its just tooo nice to use.

If you have the dolla, why not?

People get different things out of throwing money at stuff, if it floats your boat to chuck £6k on a bike worth less than that, so be it.

I for one really cannot bear to spend any money on the bike past what I already have planned. But that's me

As a few have said already i would if i had the cash.

I have over £5000 worth of parts to fit to my RGV250, that's probably worth about £2000. Like has been said it's what floats your boat. I will sell my wife and kids before the RGV goes.
