    I wouldn't fancy riding on the dirt with that front tyre after the weather we've been having Bob i would describe it as gay as the tyres Pete would fit :classic_laugh:

    It’s not the best mate but it was on the bike when I got it. I’m taking a leaf out of your book and using it until it’s bald 👨‍🦲

    I never really got the sports bike thing myself, I did have 1993 Fireblade, but not for long, good bike but just not for me, more to biking than tearing around like a stabbed rat.   I have noticed that I get slower when I am cold nowadays, I got hypothyroidism and can't deal with it like I used to.     

    Same here Saul , I’m surrounded by them in work but I have no interest in riding them .

    The only sports bike I kept for any time was my RD350YPVS

    A guy I used to know always went for sports bikes and 1-piece leathers, but he was seriously slow! I'm not a speed merchant, but when he did come on a rideout even my missus was quicker than him. Then people would take the piss out of his chicken strips and he'd get the hump and go home! I really never understood why he was drawn to sports bikes. 

    I blame Barry Sheen

    400cc exc Ktm on a 2008 , any good , is it an old engine they don’t use any more?

    The 'old' engine know as the RFS (2002-2007) is widely regarded as the best engine KTM ever built .  The engines from 2008-2012 were not as good , held less oil and were prone to early destruction.  Then they got it right again with the newer (2013 0n ) engines .

    That's why 400, 450 and 525 EXC models (RFS engine) hold their value .  Go on the KTM UK forum for guys who are in the know .                 https://www.ktmforum.co.uk/forums/

    Bit of a flashback to 25 years ago this morning.....a Power Ranger going through town flipping the bike from side to side to warm his tyres up!

    That one really cracks me up , as if it's going to make a difference to your average Joe on road tyres ..............

  8. I've had three DRZ's .  There is a trail model 'S' and an enduro model 'E'  .  The E has the livelier engine and the S has more road niceties. They are great bikes apart from the lack of a 6th gear but the newest one would be over 15 years old now.

    Having said that if you buy a good one it won't lose value but there are some proper dogs out there which could be a money pit.

    This one is decent as it's almost standard so you know it hasn't been mucked about .........

    It's a bleeding two stroke LOL wont be as nice on the road as a four stroke but will be easier to ride off road on the hard stuff. What are you thinking of doing with the dirt riding.  

    It could be easier or it could send him skyward if he yanks the throttle too hard ..................

    Presume this is the hours … to much ?

     

    IMG_2596.jpeg

    There are so many variables when equating engine hours to miles but as a ball park figure that is about 4520 miles. What has the bike been used for , has it raced enduro's or just trail-riding ? If it's a race bike then you'd be getting close to needing a top end rebuild if it hasn't already been done.    Is it road registered ?
