Andymann Posted May 15, 2015 Share Same here, RZ50 to RZ125 to RD350LC - sold it to buy RD350YPVS. Sold YPVS to buy a car (a Golf nogal - bad move, but that's a story for another day)Later on bought a basket case RD350LC (ex track bike, got it in a few boxes) and rebuild / customised it to the hilt. Stayed in Botswana at the time, and motorcycling there was a dangerous affair at the time, so I gave it to my Nephew as a 21st gift, ANOTHER BAD MOVE. Then got me a XS Eleven Special (another basket case) which I rebuild and customised. Sold that when the youngster became a teeanager, to remove any chance of him pulling the same stunts I did as a teenager.Now, I'm too old to be playing with 2-Strokes. You are never too old for a 2-Stroke! DPG, Wannabe and Super_mil 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andymann Posted May 18, 2015 Share A journey of 1000miles begins with one step.... I suppose it's time to start putting everything back together again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwan Kemp Posted May 18, 2015 Share Not so much.... There is a small part of the market (and apparently it is growing...) that would love a choice of proper 650 DS adventure bikes that you could ride into Africa and also do the technical goat paths closer to home with. I know a few mates that are hanging onto their KTM 640's for that reason. Would love to own one of these. Better yet, I would love to go fetch on in the UK.http://ccm-motorcycles.com/gp450.asphttp://put.edidomus.it/xoffroad/news/foto/423051_4289_big_062.jpg Grebel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
