Mate, don't hang on to it for me - I may not even go racing if the wife is not keen. Even if she is I may decide to buy a TZ or something and go racing on the 'cheap' (I guess it's a relative term when it concerns racing!)

I just checked your auction and you've still got three days to go - it could be gone!

Might get a gixxer 750

TZ and CHEAP. Now there's two words I've never seen used together before.
Rings - 200 miles
Piston and small end 400 miles
Crank rebuild - 800 miles
Plus all the gaskets and seals that go with each strip.
Crash damage is usually easy to fix though as there isn't as much to damage and not much weight bouncing about.
Also they take a bit of getting used to, but once you get the hang of it there is nothing like a true race bike.
