9/46 - you'll never get lower than 3rd gear

Somebody wrote it here - so you are not wrong Obviously they were mistaken

Bloody good thread with sound advice The 'bubble' for cheap doer uppers is over, it was 10 years ago Never done the British or Spanish stuff But I have dabbled in Jap In 2002/3 I bought aN adult frame Majesty 200 - very good nick and genuine (Godden nickel frame, alloy coffin tank & all the proper Maj bits, like brake stays/engine cases) for £1100, which I thought was strong money, Rode it a bit after doing consumables like a mudguard, tyres, road registering it and Nowt else Sold it in 2007 for £2600 & probably only worth £3k today There is a ceiling & we're about at it now

Whereabouts in the world are you??

I was just asking, about early w/cooled bikes because I'm not bothered about a twinshock or TY Pinky, had some in last 10 years, but the early watercooled bikes interest me and i'd still keep the 4RT

Yeah Baldilocks I dunno what the answer is? I see the sport, split into 2, us over 40's and 50's that are used to riding natural sections and another for youngsters wanting to ride big hazards, that quite frankly scare me

Trials UK are fine, never dealt with RAS

Not maybe a Sherco 4t

OR............ pre 1995

With the rising popularity of Twinshocks and Aircooled Monos in UK Trials, with separate classes and the Kia Championship, does anyone think it will be extended for early watercooled Monos, say pre 1995, in the future Say Aprillia Climber/Beta Synt/Yam TYZ and the like?

Add weight, yep what a good idea?

6 months to get used to it, then you'll be away

Bar risers are a modern fad Increase flex through bars They are the work of the devil - choose the correct height bars for you, instead

What a great story, lovely to hear it all Good luck Spen

Thanks John, I thought my memory wasn't going barmy Brill video whichever the year

Bravo, what a find But looking at the registration plate, on the blue Honda at 0.44, showing an N prefix, it is possibly later being 1975 SSDT as the N prefix couldn't be issued before Aug 1st 1974,am I right? http://www.nationalnumbers.co.uk/dvla-guide/year-of-issue-149.htm

Yep I have been using one for 20 years In winter I remove 5 gallon a week of water from my double garage All my bikes & garage are perfect When it is really frosty I turn it off for a few days as you need temps above freezing for them to work properly This year has been fine as we haven't had much colder weather

After the very first model in 2006, based on a 2005 bike year bike From 2007 all Repsols came with standard throttle body

Best modification is fuel, lots of it

Parts prices are realistic too, not like some Beta stuff

Likewise, it's the easiest bike i have ever started and needs the merest 'push', most of the time and far less effort than my old 315R 2 stroke

Fastest time in the 2014 Scott too, plus just missed the same in 2015 by a whisker from this man & on an older 4rt if I'm not mistaken - not a 260 versionIndeed jrsunt can fly, on his

Interesting - Evo 2t or 4t? I was thinking of getting an Evo 250 2t, thinking it maybe better, what did you not think is better?

They really are CRAP...................don't flipping buy one There you are, a totally honest and objective review from myself
