Jesus Dangerous. She wouldn't let you root her actual boots.

I would! thats my fetish.

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

When you use a poorer quality metal you make it up with tube gauge.
Zetor tractors used to use thicker casting as they were a bit crude in casting tech and it was less likely to be porous.
it worked up to a point, but they used to paint the insides of the castings to ensure oil tightness.
I cant remember exactly but they were at least 1/2 -1 ton heaver then a EQ western tractors
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"

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.

[pritch]

Don't know where to put this so...

[F5 Dave]

Yeah I've seen that in real life on two mates bikes. Crazy stuff. Chain jumped off on one locking the rear wheel.

[F5 Dave]

Does this look like it's been stoved into a lampost already?

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

[F5 Dave]

But the result looks the same doesn't it? Weird , maybe not relevant to this thread but Eww.

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

That seating position had me think of the Sons of anarchy they should sell it with sunnies and sneakers and a german helmet
