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 !!!

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......

Linky no worky? For me.

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 -
