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 !!!
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.
