  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. After the very first model in 2006, based on a 2005 bike year bike From 2007 all Repsols came with standard throttle body
  4. Best modification is fuel, lots of it
  5. Parts prices are realistic too, not like some Beta stuff
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. 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?
  9. They really are CRAP...................don't flipping buy one There you are, a totally honest and objective review from myself
  10. At 16.5 stone, I reckon a 200 is a bare minimum cc
  11. I went down memory lane, 8-10 years ago with a TLR & Majesty and they weren't as good as we THOUGHT they were in the 1980's... perhaps I shouldn't bother again
  12. I have the stock Repsol alloy hangers on mine, because I think they'll be weaker/softer than the plain steel ones - hopefully (touches wood)
  13. That's a good point Ross I had a proper original Godden Majesty 200 until about 8 years ago & always favoured the modern bikes as the brakes & chassis/suspension was crap in comparison & had a TLR200 as well I guess we forget how far modern bikes have come on, in 30 years
  14. Frame? Or just the steel hanger plate?
  15. I saw that 315 - but decided against another as I'd had 2 & preferred the 4RT to the 315 Got a weird hankering for a TYZ though
  16. I'm fancying another bike, alongside the 4RT Can decide between Twinshock Yam or TLR or an Aircooled Mono Pinkie or RTL? I think the Mono may be more rewarding Prices seem all over the place though
  17. I wouldn't before & now I certainly wouldn't buy an Ossa
  18. I agree, considering how many TY Monos were sold in the 1980's and 90's, some bits like plastics/exhausts/kickstarts are officially dscontinued from Yamaha, so you have to scour old stock or used spares
  19. Scarborough Club have the best facilities
  20. Ashes to ashes.....................a brief revitalisation and then confined to history again
  21. Take them both to Butser Lime Works at the moment, when it's wet That'll sort 'em out
  22. You should have gone the Mitani route as their stuff fits spot on, I have zero trouble with the tank cover & swing arm/air box/fork covers (2007 Repsol) - the rest is genuine Honda carbon on mine The only abs plastic on mine are the frame guards & I agree with all you say - I had to trim at the lower hanger area & use extra zip ties - but they're sacrificial & mine are beat up You pay your money & take your choice
  23. No No No I use a 4RT for Trials & either a DR350Se or XR 400R for trailriding In the UK there are not enough technical trails for a 4Ride, except maybe Devon
  24. Is that right - I thought the FIM minimum weight is 65kg, so why produce a bike lower than 60kg
