Old school. Go on. Leave the modern rubbish to the ipad generation.
My TDR250 don't hurt my back. Scares me to death if I let it, cooler than an eskimo's nuts and the emmisions rules can go hang.
Guess you don't live in my beautiful, fully CCTV'd CITY (when and where they can make easy money) ..
Might be asking opinions later this year/early next
I have simple needs..
My current bike and previous..had.
great track record for low maintenance / mechanical issues./ no major weak spots costing fortunes
reasonably easy to work on.
the NTV offered great distance riding at a decent cost, and was fun in a slow way.
but the 900 offers .."WHOOOSSH " enough to make you remember
to HOLD ON TIGHTER, next time...
(yep, made that mistake, along with many owners in the early days of ownership..
)
Both came at a reasonable purchase price, both offered me great service.
SO Lots of OOMPH, easy to maintain, and reasonable running costs,,must be loads out there..
Don't need fly by wire, or any new fangled Devices added to HELP me ride, etc...
especially if it means the bikes back in the shop every month because i CAN'T fix it,
cos "that is just how they make them now, Sir"..
...... ££££..
So my search begins next year..
though most likely look to just get another of the same make, if the prices stop rising so quickly.:***:
...only ULEZ compliant.
can't say i've ever been disappointed by it or it's performance, a few little tweaks and she's way fast enough for me..
(far beyond my abilities, so she gets my full respect.....
)
