December 11, 20205 yr I fancied the same bud, went on an experience day, totally re-hooked. After a bit of a a hiccup, I have narrowed down what I'm after bike wise and on the search. The experience day threw up one or two age related bits but a few weights and exercise seems to have sorted that. As a 66 year old in his late teens ,the odd compromise , I guess , has to be addressed!? Go for it chap! Edited December 11, 20205 yr by Moomoo

December 13, 20205 yr Author Well, gas gas txt 280 picked up this morning! Will need some advice but will look for appropriate forum to discuss.
December 13, 20205 yr Plenty of info on here on how to take the "edge" off if it's a bit lively. Slow action throttle and dropping the gearing being the easiest/ cheapest. Check if this has been done already.

Has a domino throttle on it and not exactly sure of the overall setup but am happy enough just now! Sure I will want to mess with things.
