    Very nice that! I'd love an NSR but I guess I would have to get rid of a bike first

    There is a chap in Reading (see link) who imports them John get a few from him.. Her trades on eBay often and has some nice bikes I near got one last year but they go for far more than they are worth imo, after all you can get a lot of bike for 7K!

    You can get a deal if your lucky, problem now is sellers see others asking price and they think the bikes are getting big money, they may well be but imo you can have a 6k price tag but if it sells at that is another matter! For 7k you can get a lot of bike like I say and if thats what I had to spend I would be looking for something like this.. :D

    RG500 in an RS250 frame, yes please!

    Imo the RS250 could be the best thing on the road ever, razor sharp!

    I want a old 125-250 enduro bike just for days like today, do a few green lanes and keep in the saddle.

    it was the mc28 model that come with the smart card vino - and imo they were the best looking model!!

    arthur, your right - way to much money, but as i see it, i and others will pay it so its only worth what people will pay... and yes, thats the fella, met him and his mate at loomies, was deeply jealous of the pair of them. oh and 500 in 250 frame, thats my dream..... give anything for a rd500 in a tzr frame gp rep special...

    Dan - as for the RS, great bike, and prob better than the nsr, but it aint a honda! but at half the price...mmmm

    Got chatting with a new colleague today (in his 50's, looks like an accountant and is called Maurice). Turns out the cheeky beggar has 30 bikes (apparently that 'appears to be around the optimum number'). Used to race in the 70's, collects mainly Italian race bikes, and maintains 4 or 5 bikes for the road.

    Dark Horse. Book/Cover etc.

    I wouldn't mind my 2nd bike for christsake!
