Anyone looking to Downsize there bike?
Just filled up at Morrison's £1.34.9 per litre=£27:86,I used to be able to fill the car for that cost
I think I might seriously consider going back to a 250 or 500. New Honda CBR250 at 100mpg looks appealing Last edited by Dicky Ticker; 19-06-11 at 05:56 PM. |

Re: Anyone looking to Downsize there bike?
If I was commuting I would, but the bike is for pleasure, and the bike I ride is part of that pleasure. To me to be out riding a bike that I didn't enjoy would be a waste of time and money, and enjoying burning 3 gallons in 100 miles is better than wasting 1 gallon.
If you think you'd enjoy it just the same, there's no reason why not, go get a test ride. |
