Back on a bike :)

I rode bikes from 16 till 20 then i gave it up for a car :eek:

My first ever bike/moped was a Honda C50 that i fully restored myself from the age of 15. Soon as i was 16 i did my CBT and rode that till 17. I then sold that, i bought a Yamaha YB100 niffty little thing, went really well. kept that 6 months then found a nice clean tidy Yamaha DT125R on an S plate.

Had that ages, few choice mods to up the power and bling it up a little. Done a fair bit of byway riding with the old man on his DRZ400.

Next up was a KMX200 :cool:

wheelie machine :cool:

had it a few months then got bored.

Final bike before a car was a Honda CB-1 400cc. Very similar to a 400-4.

New bike is a Yamaha WR250F '04
Recent MOT/Service and Fork Rebuild
FMF Header and Can
Few odd little bits to tart it up

Pick it up on friday

Pictures will be up once ive got it all muddy

Bargain price.

That's lovely

No locking fillercap?

No or ignition key. It's the pure enduro version pumping 34bhp from the little 250

Very nimble machine. Will be using it for a 4 mile commute and green laning/trips out and overnighters etc.

I hope you've got a big chain and disc lock!

I do yes, but it won't ever be left on the street as such unattended.

Nice looking bike, I would invest in a ground anchor even if it lives in a garage

MonkeykingZX · 25 Oct 2012 at 22:25

Looks great mate.

Always been tempted by something like this for some greenlaning.

Rizo-UK · 26 Oct 2012 at 13:01

ooooo like a kid at christmas. picking it up in an hour

Insurance was £142

Does it have indicators? lol

Rizo-UK · 26 Oct 2012 at 13:30

Nope. Doesn't need them as its an off road bike with no rear pillion pegs

Got my arms for indicating anyway lol

wazza300 · 26 Oct 2012 at 21:54

can i ask how much you paid for it?

Rizo-UK · 26 Oct 2012 at 21:57

Yeah no probs. £1100 but that's mates rates. He was desperate. Market value is around £1600.

Been out on it today and done nearly 40miles

wazza300 · 26 Oct 2012 at 22:01

you did well for that price,you wanna get some frame guards to cover the worn paint,either aluminium or carbon fiber

Rizo-UK · 26 Oct 2012 at 22:39

Been looking at frame bits today. Needs a couple of brake switches to get it 100% legal for night time use but for day time it's fine. Currently on day light mot.
