I know it's not a 400, but just in case anyone fancies a project:

It's not mine and I don't know who it belongs to, just thought someone might like it.

You don't see many 250s over here 8-)
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

If I was allowed I'd have it myself. Might just go and have a look while the mrs is at work. :whistle:

I spotted that on Gumtree the other day, although it sounds a bit of a wreck from his description.
I reckon if you could get it for a couple of hundred quid it could make a decent little project...

I have been chasing one for a while now.

There is one up my way that seems to be up for sale every couple of months, as it has a running problem that no one seems to be able to remedy. In saying that, it does seem to be 16-17 year olds who end up buying the bike, fiddling with it for a while and then selling it again when they have run out of ideas.

I have phoned 3 different sellers about it now, but I always seem to miss out as it has already been sold by the time I contact the seller.

He's probably trying to hit a ton on the Beccles bypass. :lol:

Just me or on the vid was he changing up way too early? No where near the red line which presumably is where all the power is on a stroker.

Loved my old TZR125. Might get another one day apart from the fact i now have wife and kids and dont fancy an early death.
