For a laugh and for a semi off road/bad weather bike i was looking at geting a honda 90, they will not die, cheep (to run) and many...

Went to the breakers and asked, they had got one for £250 bit ratty... now call me crazy but 250 is not really "cheep" when i think honda 90 i think absoloutely no way more than £100... am i wrong? the only reason i can imagine the renewed popularity is the monkey bike angle....


So, if i wanted an offroad toy (and yes ive asked before, sorry) for not allot what should i start looking for? and where? it needs to be road legal, 125 or less (insureand and tax taken into consideration) 4stroke and farily resiliant to a battering...

Anyone with a honda 90 lurking in the shed? (you can pm me to avoid any embarrassment Razz)

4-stroke snob! Razz

What you want my friend is an MZ125 which will be in far better condition and more reliable than any Jap 4-stroke you would be looking at for the same money. You can get proper knobblies to fit them too.

So maybe i am Very Happy
I did think about looking for an nsr and offroading it Very Happy

I'd not know even where to start looking, i'm after the kind of bike people just want out of the way, as long as its been running and needs mainly cosmetic stuff doing to it i'd be happy...

I guess i will keep trawing through the local rag and whatnot till i see something interesting Wink

I would suggest something in the way of brush painted 'urban' cammo pattern and do the comstars in a fine shade of matt black. Matt black comstars look Twisted Evil

The topbox would have to go!

www.adtrader.co.uk is usually quite good. Check it on Wednesday nights or get the paper when it comes out for the serious bargains.
