and another email responder. I think this is my first ever posting here so I'll tell you all a bit about my biking stuff.
I have a MT-03 which I use for commuting and a 91 TZ250 with 96 spec barrels and pistons that needs some TLC. Moving shortly (if the conveyance gets sorted) and a bare frame rebuild is planned for it. Still can't quite decide whether to run it after the rebuild or retire it and stick it in my study.
First bike was a Yamaha MX80 in 1971 I think. I've had a variety of Yamahas over the years together with a good few Hondas including a VF1000R, VF750F and an RC30. Other off-road bikes have included Honda CRs, Yamaha YZs and a Suzuki RM - all 125s or 250 2-strokes and all many years ago.
The MT-03 was purchased to get me back into road bikes as the VF750F was my last road bike in about 1997-99 and I need to rebuild a no claims bonus for the MV Agusta (750 F4) I have promised myself one day.
I really like the MT-03. Reasonable handling, acceptable brakes and cheap to run (insure and fuel). I like its looks too. I was looking for something a bit different to fit a commuting role - about 27 miles each way roughly half or which is 70 mph dual carriageway and the rest city centre traffic. It fits that bill perfectly.
Just for the record I also have a Suzuki VJ23 250SP which is my present weekend toy and I would really like a tourer for longer runs.
I also hope to get back into off-roading and fancy doing some Hare and Hounds enduros eventually. Present pref would be for a KTM or Yamaha enduro of some sort.
Is 6 bikes too much for one individual at a time?
