Project bikes?

Because having to fix one bike every couple of weeks is not enough? Very Happy

I hopefully have some cash sometime soon to play with, currently the cx is my only transport and if it(though i never have and its unlikely) has a major problem i'd like to have something else i could use in the meantime, also if i ever have to any major work to the engine e.t.c.

I wont be spending much more than £300/400 if i have to spend some to get it running its ok by me, i want something to practice on at the same time (like engine/carb innards)

It has to be more than 125cc (unless its 2 stroke) 250 would be about right but i'd consider anything up to 400ish, 2/4 stroke, light, having the ability to go off road would be good, something that can be kicked back into shape if you drop it that sort of thing..

Any suggestions? i had considered a c90 at one point but... i'm never that desperate (it probably would die at the first wiff of a hill with me on) i'd like something crosserish if possible but i don't know where to look..

That is cheap. I've had a few RGV parts in the past from AK The 2-Stroke Breakers. They specialise in watercooled 2-strokes, the bloke that runs it is a 2-stroke enthusiast and owns a mint rgv himself.
