What Project Bike To Get ? , ?260/?300 ....

[Jamie S]

Currently have £260 for a project bike , what sort of bike would I get for this money ? I will have around the £300 mark soon though.
Any ideas what bikes are good, cheap, fun and have lots of spares around for them ?

why not finish the cb750 that you have??
or rebuild the one you blew up,
i bought a gs500 for £300 but it didnt need anything doing to it and is still running now after 30000 miles have been added, i swear gs500's a bomb proof
finish a project before you start the next!! or your house will end up looking like a motorcycle breakers, and you wont have a single running bike before long

Can I just ask, for a 15 year old with no job where do you get all your money from your always buying or doing something.
Its drugs isn't it.
Am I right.

I have a TZR 125 in bits, 3 boxes of bits and an exhaust and tank.. no other plastics... although to be honest it would need a fair bit of money spent as well as a TONNE OF WORK..

I wish I was rich as you when I was 15.

£300? I'd spend it on an Xbox360.

Without getting off topic, drinking really doesn't require that much money I think it must be drugs...

Yea £200 of the money is Christmas money off family.
And with it being my birth day today, I know I will be getting £50 off my nan next time I see her, hence the thread.

I'm bidding on a BSA bantam atm , oh the shame !

[Fahd]

Save the money and put it towards a proper manual bike when you're 16 instead of a moped...

I personally think it meets all your requirements and I'm only 35 miles down the A55 from you!

My GS500.

[Jamie S]

Currently discussing things with KLR600 about the XJ.

[hmmmnz]

the klr's are great bikes, i had a 95 gs500 dont buy tobys his is cursed
if i had 300 quid to just blow on a bike i think i would be looking in the direction of a dt250 or a or any 2 stoke especially old reliable ones. which he rm250 isnt
a h100 or a a100 a rsx100, i think you should prep yourself for when you can do your cbt, a wee little poject that you can actually ride on the road when you pass your test.

Hopefully it's all sorted now guys, swapping the cb750 for the xj600.
Just need to re fit the swing arm.

No shame at all in getting a Bantam, they're damn cool.

You could easily buy and do up a Honda CD200 within the £260 budget. I bought mine for £100 and spent about £50 repairing it. They aren't fast, desirable or rare but they look good, are good fun, very economical and incredibly cheap. Judging by the number still around after 25-30 years they've got to be fairly rugged too.

Edit: I spend too long writing posts...
