twosmoke300 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I've arranged a stupid challenge with our trail riding group and need a bike for £150 quid . Our challenge is to buy for 150 - 50 to fettle then we are going to do our own hare and hounds race at a local enduro track . Pretty much anything considered but no 50's cos I'm 17 stone and enduro tracks have hills to climb . Faker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigmund Fraud Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 My project CZ125 may be available, and comes with a shedload of spares. "Eastern block scene tax" means I would like a bit more than £150 for it, though : Faker and UltraWomble 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twosmoke300 Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 Yeh that would be perfect but the budget is strict ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 You may get some chinese shit for that money but other wise £150 bikes are like the yeti - they do not exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraWomble Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Good luck - they are like white dog turds - out there but scarce. I have been looking for something now for a few months - and failed, even stuff at Autojumbles has been north of £300 by quite a long way. I have revised my budget to between £300 and £600 now.

garbaldy Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 You sold the bandit for 200?I sure did, it was advertised at more but I am getting miffed with trying to sell things as my heeds all over the place.In my defence though I only paid £150 for it and £20 on exhaust gaskets so was pleased to get it out of my hair.

matto Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I've got a 1998 Aprilia Pegaso 650 in the garage, hasn't been run in a few years due to what I think is a carb issue. It failed to start one morning and didn't fix itself when I got back home off the bus, so (after the wife surprisingly said yes) I went out and bought a brand new bike as I desperately needed transport. It had a few recent* replacement parts, coil, sprag clutch, fork oil seals... ...I think I'd want a bit more than your budget and the bike is in Nottingham though. *before being parked up approx. three years ago, it has been kept inside though. pilninggas and Barry Cade 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplebargeken Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I used to have a Pan European. Bloody ace things, not so good when picking them up off the floor though. Christ, I'd love a bike again, even just to tinker with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Honda Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 not so good when picking them up off the floor though.There's a knack to it Ken, so even the laydees can do it Forget the idea about a Pan Euro though, too reliable. You need an old man's bike like a BMW footwarmer that frequently shits its final drive or for top Autoshite points something a bit crap like a Honda Pacific Coast 800.
