February 24, 200916 yr Moderator look at this mate XT500 supermoto merv That bike bears a lot of similarity to my DT175MX ...Well the petrol cap does...
February 24, 200916 yr Is it worth £10,000 ??? If you want to pay this guy's wages and cost of parts I would rather have him build a bike specifically for me, not something he want's to build. I have a feeling he may regret the offer of £7,500 he's already turned down !!! There's enough supermoto's out there and for £10,000 you could buy at least two with money left over to customise yourself if you want to be different.
February 24, 200916 yr Got to agree with sezian, thats a hell of a lot of money !!!! think I would rather buy the new R1
February 24, 200916 yr heck I could pour what amounts to about 14.500 dollars in to the biggest junkyard basket case and leave with a brand spanking new reststoration. better yet spend tha money on several (or more) good condition bikes making them look the way i wanted. and still have enough left over to make with a peace offering to the wife.
February 24, 200916 yr Moderator look at this mate XT500 supermoto merv Well familiar with the Yellow Hammer Merv. That's the handywork of 1 Mr. Newitt.....site admin @ YamaThump & yes, it may seem like a helluva price for that bike ......but the attention to detail is absolutely 2nd to none. That was PhaseIII of a series of SupaMoto builds he's done.......he's now in the process of building PhaseIV & it promises to be better yet. He owns & operates his own bike shop......& is 1 of the biggest Yamaha thumper advocates I know......has helped me out with my XT issues plenty of times.
