I've tried to talk myself into buying one of these a few times. I figure as long as you factor in the cost of a engine rebuild when you do you should be ok! ____________________ Well, you know what they say. If you want to save the world, you have to push a few old ladies down the stairs.

Nice winter bike is that!
Great value for the handling and space and performance now. But unlike others the RX8 with its weird suicide rear doors has never done it for me.
The problem is I'd never be able to walk past an mk2 or mk3 RX7 to get to one. Now I'm a bit more mature I know that twin turbo's and a rotary wankel engine is not a good combination for long term dependability, but then I'd roll the dice on a 1.8turbo K-series engine, which can't be any more reliable at best.
Best thing with an RX7 or 8 even now, is when you reach the end of your love/patience or budget for the rotary engine, there's several companies doing good business in dropping in a nice little sensible LS1 unit instead. |

Still got the R6.
But in general life's been a bit of a twat lately
Wife has died and my son still has Lennoxe Guastuat Syndrome
Had to stop working but at least can blow the cobwebs away on the R6....Nothing beats depression and fecking grievance like 15k revs.
Oh and happy new year and be safe. |

Want a sidecar, willing to consider anything. I have an R6 if you wanted a deal . Also will pay cash for the correct sidecar.
I'll bet no one here will admit to owning a sidecar? Paddy surely you must of had one at some point. |

Hmmmmn?
Would have been much better if you'd said 'swapping R6 for V-max for some very different shaped Yamaha thrills'
But you said 'Shadow'
Tbh it's a pretty nice, and well made cruiser and they are smooth quiet and look very comfy too. An ex neighbour of mine had a nearly new one that he used to use spring-autum.for commutes into Birmingham, when he was going to be based in the office for a few weeks at a time.
You might really enjoy the new sensation of scraping the pegs and showering the road in sparks (for a week ) |
