skyline Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 4 strokes are alot less likely to break, but tbh there running costs are quite a bit higher, ie prices for bits for them, although alot are obtainable on ebay
plain darren Posted November 16, 2004 Author Posted November 16, 2004 For some reason (not sure why, maybe you said before) I thought it was May. Dunno why, I mentioned something on wsatc about doing something in April but my B'day is at the start of MArch. Booked the test this early cos there was a 2month waiting list when I did my theory before the earliest possible slot. Lets see, should you buy a more powerful or less powerful bike. Well if you hadn't fallen off your other bike and broken your arm it would have been a difficult decision. However I think that you are the sort of person who should do their time on every rung of the ladder, next time it might not be a broken arm, or they might not be able to fix it. Definately a good point, and should probably go with a 125 thinking about that, but it looks like it's deffo going to come down to finances. I know I can get a TZR125 for about £1000, maybe even a bit less... :?
mickt26 Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 I know I can get a TZR125 for about £1000, maybe even a bit less... :? You should definitely be able to get a good '90-'92 TZR125 for that, possibly even a '93-on TZR125R. If you do end up getting the earlier 125, try and get a '90-onwards version (rear disc and 17" front- the first bikes had a rear drum and 16" fronts) It's hard knowing which bike you want and being hamstrung by money, that's why my first bike only cost £525. I've always wanted a TZR250 3XV SP but I've never had the cash available when I've seen one. Plus my lass would kill me (literally) if I bought another bike... Mick.
