Haha

That is a slope I know where it can end.

£1500?
Buy a 250 or bigger

andrewsmith · 31-07-11, 09:22 PM

I wouldn't pay the list price on the ad.

The catch 22 on the 250's I'd end up doing a Dan with an RGV and a RS (the one I want) seem to be going for stupid money now.

RD's are something that I would kill meself on

BEWARE - I bought an RGV because I always wanted one, and my first bike was an RS 125. Then it all began, I got a few bits powder coated, then I thought fook it I want it all to look nice. Then I thought I want it all to look new. Then I spent 2.5 years collecting bits and rebuilding it, replacing every nut and bolt and even rebuilt the engine.

It's addictive and costs lots.

Also decent RGV's are now going for silly money, as are RS's. £1500 will buy you a "well used and abused" model.

to be honest i hated the RG125's. i thought that the TZR was a much better bike.

RD350LC's are mucho fun just like the TZR 250's.
