why not just fit SM wheels to the E?

the E model has all the mods already fitted that you'll probably want to do to an SM

if it doesn't have a V5 just register it as an enduro (~£100) and get some wheels off ebay (~£250-800)

It was considered, but if I sell the E I can get an SM like yours for similar money (maybe put a couple of hundred in). That way I get the USD forks and bigger brakes to. The E is road legal and has V5, so should sell as a green laner etc.

What are these mods you speak of?

Hay guys,
Thanks for all the advice.
I am gonna give the school a call tomorrow and get it organized.

As for paying for the lot of it. I have only taken 3 days off since X-mas so work is not the issue more the rate of pay. I have worked 62hrs already this week and have another 3 days of work lined up. YEY!!!! (not looking for sympathy just saying)

As for bikes I am still unsure about what I want. I do like the sv it's a nice bike but I am really drawn to the DRZ and I would very much like an Africa Twin.

Jon

Ps: I am luckypants' boy.

Hey Jon. Nice to see you on here my good man.

I currently own an SV and it is a nice bike yet I would really like a DRZ also. My only thing is that I don't think (with a full licence) I would only have the DRZ. It seem to be a real good bike but as an all rounder I think the SV is a better choice.

Each to their own however. So you have decided to do your full licence...good man/ Look forward to meeting you at NW4.5

Ayup man.

Africa twin is not particularly like the DRZ style of bike. Africa twin is far more sedate.

Jon has booked a test for the end of April. Good luck son!

good luck jon

(those africa twins are big old bikes)

just do a few odd jobs around the house, and drop the odd hint for the DRZ

Luckypants · 24-04-09, 09:41 AM

Woo! Jon has just passed his DAS test!
