Get bike to mechanics > fill them in > ask for inspection
Would be my guess
There are mobile services as well iirc, or you could rope a knowledgeable friend into tagging along (provided they know their shit)
Does the 4k include gear/rego/insurance?
Provided the bike itself is in sound mechanical condition and parts are readily available, age wouldn't really factor into it
I mean if you get something reeeeaaaally old that's been sitting in someones garage for a decade or more then you'd wanna replace seals and oils and etc but ukno...
With your height I would imagine dirtbikes may be a bit of a reach, although like I said others know more than I do
Depends on what you classify as expensive
I paid 5.5k for an 04 vtr250 with 20k on it at end of 06 or start of 07
Was a little more than I wanted to spend but it was a bargain...
How tall are you?
Also any naked roadbike will survive a drop with minimal damage
Other people know dirtbikes better, as far as naked roadbikes go a couple models to look at are the vtr250, 250 bandit, balius, spada
I agree from a performance point of view, food = fuel, but from a general lifestyle point of view people should be able to enjoy themselves (moderation!)
Nahh only reason I'm not riding it in the rain is cos if the brake fluid is leaking at all it will be hella slippery, best to wait till it is dry outside haha
Good to hear you got the new bike though
Failed first (and only attempt) so far at car P's
Failed due to not taking clutch out for each gear change when changing down gears to red lights, pinged one point for each gear I didn't do it.
Cunt of an instructor
You won't care about comfort when your in the powerband on a stroker, with a huge silly grin on your face
Edit: Also, anyone have an air compressor by any chance
