You can ride em flat these days, I rode a rear flat from Northampton to Porstmouth, so's not to miss a crossing, got a new tyre fit the other side of the channel.

KTM 640, great fun on the twisty rd's but that's where it ended, it used to shake like a shiting dog. I had to take a tube of locktite and an adjustable spanner on every outing.

It is taxed as it goes, I've always had big sports bikes so don't see myself on an old learner bike to be honest, I think I'll dry store it for another 10 years, if only the prat had bought an LC eh? I quite like older stuff these days, I have a 97 Blade that's absolutely as it left the factory, more fun than the latest stuff and more of a talking point when you go anywhere.

well its a shame you edited it really, as he'll now never know how he makes a newbie feel will he? Is it a wonder people don't come back. I agree in the main the answers were constructive and friendly but both yourself and Slice need to take a long look in the mirror. Mind you, I expect you'll edit this too, pissed with power as a moderator I would imagine.

Thanks Guys, yes airhead I wish it was an RD, this belonged to my uncle but its never been used hence the mileage. I've ridden bikes since I was 14 (46 now) and can honestly say I've never heard of one so they can't have been popular at all. I'm just wondering whether to store it as they must be fairly rare, or sell it for my Auntie, hence needing an idea on worth. Edited by DDT.

Hi, just wondered what people though the value would be on a bike I have. It a 1980 XS250 in black (Mars bar) its in showroom condition and has covered just 3300 miles in its 34 years. I have every Mot, original keys, handbook, tool kit ect. It really is a beautiful bike but I have no idea of its worth as the only ones I can find on ebay and such are ratters. This is pristine, taxed, mot'd and genuinely original. Your thoughts would be much appreciated.
