    I would! thats my fetish.

    Also - If I could swing a leg over one, a CRF300L seems like a good option.

    in a lot of cases you are paying for tech not raw materials
    Many moons ago a motor industry technical executive of my acquaintance was shown a Romanian(?) 4WD that someone was excited to import into the country.
    He laughed. It was overbuilt to extremes and weighed accordingly. His mirth helped spare us that beast.

    Anyhoo. Back on track. A nice paintjob on the tank, and a corroded shitpile is worth $6500 apparently.

    Three strikes:

    Massively overpriced.
    That bullshit twee "pretending I dont want to sell it but my SO is making me"
    not as described. (original- but it has another engine in it and the pipes aren't stock).

    No.

    Pretty RD, but I'm a before or after guy. RD400G rises me as got a pillion from my Bro in law and got hooked on bikes. Had an F2 YPVS so hot on them. Mind you I have the ultimate YPVS in the garage. . . . Must finish it. Sigh.

    At first I thought you were linking me to a turners insurance write-off auction.

    the only person I know who had one of those traded it very quickly. Very uncomfortable to ride he said. Weird feet-forward, arse locked in one position, long reach to the bars type of thing. Plus they make quite a lot of power and gobs of torque - he had had Hardly Ablesons which made some torques but no power.... He ended up on a Monster 1200R
