I haven't been greenlaning this month, yet. But yeah, greenlining is more popular in the winter with some people.
Does seem to be very few suitable bikes about for less than £1,500
Keep any eye on the for sale section here, I sold a member an XR250 that I knackered the engine on for £350 once, and he fixed it up no bother.
Also, keep any eye on the for sale section on the TRF website, now and again bikes in your price range do appear there;
https://www.trf.org.uk/forum/viewforum.php?f=110&sid=1aa7453d907da191c6c49e3b914b4527
I had a quick scan through the first one and half pages and couldn't see anything under £1800 though. |

Thanks for the link, will keep an eye out on that page! Sounds like someone got a bargain with the XR ____________________ '89 Honda NS125F (SOLD) -> '92 Suzuki GS500E (SOLD) -> '03 Kawasaki ZX6R B1H (SOLD) -> '96 VFR 750 RC36 (SOLD) -> '02 Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird |

£1700 asking price for an EC 300 here and a CRM 250 Mk2 up at £1600:
https://www.enduronews.com/forsale.htm
£1750 asking price for a WR400:
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222339637286
It seems there's pretty limited availability; guessing it's now too late for people trying to get some quick cash for Christmas.
Gumtree lists 5 KTM EXCs under £1500.
Though, I have got a couple of EXC's sitting neglected in storage myself . |

Yeah seems there's a bit about, but all starting at around £1500.
Dont suppose one of those EXC's is only worth £1200 to you is it? ____________________ '89 Honda NS125F (SOLD) -> '92 Suzuki GS500E (SOLD) -> '03 Kawasaki ZX6R B1H (SOLD) -> '96 VFR 750 RC36 (SOLD) -> '02 Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird |

If you buy a four stroke then get one with electric start.Once you start riding the unsurfaced roads you will understand
A friend might be selling his DR350SE.I will ask
Edit.The DR was sold on a handshake recently.Sorry to get your hopes up ____________________ Just talk bikes.What else is there?
