@Calum lmao i bet thats because everytime you go to buy a new phone ... theres always that one bike bit that you didn't know you needed
-
@stinkwheeler Well that and no one ever rings me so I don't exactly need a phone.
-
@Calum its verry much the same for me in that respect of not getting phonecalls .... i literally just use my phone for taking pics ... googleing things ... buying bike parts on ebay .... and most importantly this forum lol i do spend more time than i should looking at other builds for ideas to steal

Hey guys back again with a little update I've not had a lot of time recently but have a week to get it on the road as the rs has become porley lol so I've fitted the graphics today and got the new panels on and a mock up of the exhaust just have to make a bracket and take it for mot will fit new cylinder and zeeltronic and fat bars when i get more time .... ![alt text] http://imgur.com/gallery/8T2UhIW

@Calum ha thanks i thought it was quite quirky lol and i just built it mainly to build a thread on the forum as my last one was stolen i need to get another daily too but I'm torn between another two stroke or a ktm rc for work
-
@stinkwheeler How far is work.
The one thing I miss from my commute is the smiles on my DT riding like a bit of a tool. Always safely, always within the limits, but there was something about the ring ting and smoke that put a smile on my face.
Not sure I'd get a KTM personally, too hefty price tag for something not as good had it been made ten years ago.
I'd opt to get something very cheap, very reliable. Honda CG. But RC is a lovely bike.

@Calum work is 15 plus miles each way i have a car test booked for November 29 but money is tight i have 2.5 k to play with for a bike but also no full bike test as i never bothered i bought a gsxr 750 i rode around on for a year (like an idiot ) but failed my test and didn't retake it i probably will after my car test but for the moment it was between another new rs125 2t for 1200 or a ktm rc125 for 2.5k that i was looking at i was thinking the ktm would be boring and reliable as where the rs would be more fun but a nightmare for being reliable as its 2 stroke ..... but in essence i have ridden a dt to work for the last ten years 30 miles plus a day ... and after it was stolen i bought the rs and have done 2 years on this with just a top end rebuild engine wise and a new carb ....

And the ktm rc 125 has some nice carbon parts and a complete face lift from tyga website google tyga ktm rc125 on google images yea its not verry fast or that pratical but it looks pretty I'm all about that but its over 3 k for the bodykit ...
-
@stinkwheeler Yeah it's expensive though which is my point. Really you ought to do the car license, spend the money on getting a nice reliable motor and do your bike license later on.
That RC looks the tits though. Suzuki do a new bike as well...
It's the GSXR....125 lmao. -
So i ended up getting a honda veradero 125 v twin for work in the end
a comfortable bike but bloddy slow to 70 and thats it lol ....... bought a few more bits for the dt better coil fork adjusters.. new seat cover .. some r and g wheel bobbins .. next week i will buy the zeel i just purchased a single piece cnc powervalve http://imgur.com/gallery/9m3Ebiu if anyone has had Any experience with them the plan is to bore a cylinder with a liner to 150cc ish wiseco forged piston get the barrel ported by mick and the head re machined and maybe an oring conversion I'm not sure on that one yet pics to follow...
