Hi Im keen on getting a bucket for the young ones (17 year old boys) to have a hack and a learn
1/ how to ride
2/ how to ride fast and well on a track
And to also give them a passion and an interest outside Xbox !
Can anyone offer advise on the best bike types to get, what to look out for and what not to get ?
Someone might have one for sale ?
its all on a tight budget so something cheap to get started on is all im wanting, not a championship winning bike lol
cheers
Ive run out of fucks to give

Young ones?? Whatever, you've finally discovered something that isn't too fast for you!!!
Find a dinged up FXR and they'll be at the front of the field in no time.

Street Triple coming up with a $1 reserve?
Failing that, I have a nice green bucket in the shed. Holds about 15 litres. Little bit flimsy for serious teenage carrying but it's yours if you want it bro and meets the budget.
Let me know.........

FXR150's have to be the go .... not so expensive and easyish to get reasonably competitive, anything else has to be much harder or more expensive..
In the riders seat
How cheap?
A FXR is the best bike you can get to start on, decent tyres on it and away you go
Easy to upgrade later on with wider wheels, slick tyres, ignitions and engine mods etc
"If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."

Would highly recommend the FXR. Pretty well bullet proof and an easy way to start.

Cheap starter for you:

I would wait for a dollar reserve auction so you can do over the seller.

I know Tigertim20 has my bucket project still, I think.. laying around somewhere
was a CB125 bored out to 140 has been stripped and is almost race ready just needs nyloned, was running last I tinkered with it, it will need a pod filter and maybe a re-jet but thats probably about it, Ill have a chat to him and see what he says if your interested.
Wouldnt be very competitive though I dont think, still needs a bit of work done to it, but as it is it would be race-able

Its not "doing them over", I'ts more likely to be the true market value of them bike.
Still likely to be more than I'd pay for one too!

Na, just make sure the back tyre ain't going to flick shit in the carbs.
Open carbs are fine for the sort of mileage a bucket sees in 3 lifetimes.
