Mental Ebay + Mental 2 strokes !!!
 
I've recently been hankering after a real sharp little sports bike that would be fun for TD's but could easily be used on the road as well.

I found a few nice VFR400's but there is an awful lot of 'tat' and the good ones seem to get snapped up quickly but I've always had a longing for a razor edged 2-stroke as well.....

I'd love to follow Montys lead with something like this baby:




But I dont think either the boys in blue or wifey might be happy with an 'investment' of this nature ;)

I'm starting to look more at an Aprilia RS250 - they seem to be going at reasonable prices although spares seem to be an issue in some cases. I'm pretty sure I could have 'almost' as much fun on one as on my 900SS !

Having said that - I am wondering about some Aprilia owners !!! :o

Buy it, you can't get better than a 2 stroke for fun, I've got 2 x TZ350's, 2 x TZ250's and a very nice Spondon framed TZ350 in my custody.

As well as numerous 2 stroke Suzuki racers, see www.t20suzuki.com/t200

2 strokes are the most fun you can have with your clothes on.

Buy it, buy it now......

The listing has been pulled. What was in it?

Nearest I've got is a tuned TZR250 that I will racing a few times this coming season in the Yamaha Past Master series. The engine is currently with Bob Farnham having a overhaul to get it ready.
I hope to have it ready for a trackday late Feb early March all being well.

Been ages since I've had a road baseed 2-stroke so should be fun

LOL - the now removed listing was a bit 'tongue in cheek' - some enterprising individual was advertising his services to other male bikers in the Aprilia bike sales section of Ebay.

Seems his servicing skills are very good - :devil:
