Cost of s**t bike........

[retrofly]

Hi
Ok ive got a "Honda NSRR 125 import" and heres a list of what needs to be done to it, bearing in mind i just had to fork out £450 for another engine after the original one sized up an craked. And i've only had it for 6 months and i think ive spent £1000 on it so far. Including rear tyer, steering head breaings, chain and sprokets and a second hand engine. Anyway heres the list:-

1. New fron wheel
2. New break pads
(front and rear)
3. New chain and
sproket set
4. New left indicator
5. One headlight
6. Drive shaft for speedo
7. Steering head

This all equals fucked so im gunna fix it an sell it to sum poor sod anyway i was just wondering
"how much it's gunna cost?"
Im gunna go to a proper honda dealership and get proper parts this time. The small dealership just kept giveng me crap parts. Oh look ive just committed suicide

Ill probably get a 250 when i ve passed my test an get it restricted to 33bhp, well mabey.

"Help!"

Luke

Heres what you do;

1.make sure you are taxed and insured.
2.take bike to field one night.
3.Burn bike (properly mind)
4.Go home and sleep
5.In morning, look out of window and make 'astonished' noises
6.run and tell your ma and pa some c*nts nicked your bike
7.Let them sort it out for you.
8.Get new bike with insurance payout.

Thats my advice.

Hi lol
I was thinkin bout that 2 but i dont want a claim on my insurence as the the premium would go even higher fot the next bike. Bollocks

Thats a good suggestion from kris. A better one is to get a friend to do the burning thing for you, that way you can have an alibi

Or....just flog it to some poor sod and buy yourself another one.

Seems to me you'll be losin money either way. Ask yourself this.
Whats better?

a) Current 125 bike, new parts, cost loads to fix(honda prices ), skint.
b) New bike, more power, cost a fair bit to insure, skint.

I know what i'd do. Plus if you're like me you'll be bored of a 125 already.

Hi

1. Get paid next friday
2. Get bike fixxed
3. Be skint

8. Sell bike to 17 year old "just off a scooter" cunt

Hi

The bikes 4sale on the exchange and mart section, just to see what price i can get for it, obviosly its no good sellin it here as you all know every wnaky detail about my fucked up bike

restricted
bike is proving to be a bitch to de-restrict.
Mind you, havent looked at the carb plate yet.
No, I live in Chatham,Kent, about 44 mins from BoxHill, but I travel quite a bit on my bike, just ask Kornel.
Where you based? Do you go to BoxHill much?

[retrofly]

hi
yeah mines restricted too cant de restrict cause its an import i live about 30 mins away so i go every so often when the bike reliable. Its nice to speak 2 someone else with a 125, the bigger bikes seem to be edging out us 125's.

Hi

I thought you bought your bike new? Why have you had to pay for those repairs? It should be under warrenty, and that does not mean that they tell you to buy a 2nd hand engine and they will fix it on the cheap

Sounds like you have been stiched up by the dealer. Maybe time to talk to trading standards

All the best

Keith

Most 250cc four stroke sports bike make about 35/40 bhp so a restricted one will make hardly any difference. If you're moving up from a 125 two stroke a 400cc four stroke would be a better choice if you can insure one.

Hi
Thax kornel VFR it is then yay
