There are all sorts of things I dislike about that, but only have one tiny bar-end mirror is just plain stupid. Form over function (except the form isn't very good anyway). ____________________ TG. |

I'd forgotten there even was a CX650. Could you nab this and throw the engine in a CX500 frame? |
Potentially- different ignition systems and lots of other sods. But could be done..
My particular issue is my frame is holed. I'd be wanting the frame more than the engine.. Except.. no- they've all been cut up. ____________________ CBT: 12/06/10, Theory: 22/09/10, Module 1: 09/11/10, Module 2: 19/01/11

CX500 frames with V5 usually go for stupid money
£200+
The one linked to below is an import but has the same
later ignition switch bar lock as a 'B' and looks in reasonable nick
£140 or best offer Stratford on Avon so not too much of a trot from S.Wales.

They only made a limited amount of the CX/GL-650
( it's actually a 674cc lump)
Getting a good one nowadays is tricky but they can be shoehorned into a 500 frame, I knew a guy who did it.
The ignition is easy to mod as is the wiring, the carbs and drive shaft are the trickiest bits as they are simliar but different enough to be a PITA if you can't source the vital bits you need ____________________ bikers smell of wee |

It's a shame he did that. From what I've heard, the TW125 is a fun little bike. Good looking, too, in standard form. A lot like a Van Van. I dig those bikes, and the Serow (XT225). The TW125 came in a 250 form, too. What he's done is disappointing, but if he'd done that to a TW250, it would have been a tragedy. As for the price... |

You'll do well not to griddle your rump on that 'silencer'..
I was about to say it's not too offensive, as these things go, but sadly I read the advert..
'She still looks beautiful and the imperfections are only apparent on close inspection. ..I just use the bike for blasting across London from Windsor on occasion and trips to the Bike Shed and Ace Cafe. '
FFS.. and then...
'a newborn baby means I have so little time to use any of them meaningly, I am 50 years old..'

It should be the Law that people who do things like that to a bike MUST be punched in the face by anyone interested in bikes.

Looks alright, probably lots of fun if my XL600R was anything to go by.
Similar idea to an MT-03 and it looks as though somebody has put at least a modicum of thought into it. ____________________ Things get better with age; I'm close to being magnificent........
