Welcome Jimdolbs

Good to have you on board..

Once you get a feel for the two stroke scene.. Please try to prostitute yourself around a number of genres and not just your favoured Yamaha..

You may even find that the best escorts are :

Red Rolling Eyes

Blue. Razz

Or even Team Green. Love

Wink

Hi Jim - what are you looking to buy?

As an ex yellowbelly myself I'm always jealous of those who can make use of the roads around Cadwell & the Mablethorpe to Cleethorpes coast roads.. Hiya !

Thanks for the welcome guys, my girlfriends dad is preaching Rdlc, but I'm thinking (and looking at the posts on here you guys have 1 or 2) sdr200, although I also would love a R1-Z250, we will see, new kitchen first I'm afraid Sad

Think Yamaha by all means, but you really want a TZR Wink

As you can see there are many a brand/model loyalty here. I'm only surprised the gag bike fraternity haven't yet tried to tempt you (yet)...

SDR200 it is then!

If you can find one that is, they rarely come up for sale so don't hang about if you see one!

Oooh, good call. I had the chance to buy a SDR200 15 years ago and didn't. I still regret it to this day.
