Kwikasfuki opinions

You will need to buy a full lock set for it (get on eBay when you know what one your getting .
What condition is it in ?

From what I can gather it runs fine and is capable of passing an MOT (don't think it needs one though), he just lost the keys for it..

And great. Moneyyy I shall see if there are any and how much they cost.

EEEEDIT: £50 - £100 for lock sets... So that's £250 for the bike, and between £300 and £500 for insurance (depending on what bike it is)... That's not too bad for 60bhp of screaming IL4 I s'pose. I want it now. Hornet too slow!

It might need new tyres and other stuff !
When you get it let me know and I'll give it a once over

[Virt]

Just don't give me one too! Please and thanks for the offer. Not sure what the whole plan is... oh. Just been told it has no exhaust too... gonna have to interrogate my dad tomorrow I think

All the £££ are adding up there. A cheap buy can soon turn into something more expensive.

It sounds like a money pit already .

Fund out what it needs and price it up before you buy it as it could be cheeper to insure the storm and cleaning stuff

[VTRDark]

Thats exactly what I was thinking.

Is this some kind of plan to keep you off the Storm so your Dad can have it.

When I got my Storm I used my old Gpz600r as a winter hack - in one winter it corroded so much from winter salt that I couldn't touch it without parts crumbling away. If you ahead with a kwacka you'll need to dip it in a combination of ACF50, powdercoat and grease fat topped with stainless steel fixings...

[Virt]

No. Nothing of the sort Carl. It's so I have a bike with power that won't kill me *cough* VTR *cough*. Think my dad worked out how long it would be restricted for

And bear in mind my storm hasn't been run in yet at 8k miles... if it's sh1t weather I won't necessarily want to commute on it. Seeing as most, if not all, of its miles are dry.

The power that the vtr has and any bike has can only be used when you roll that right wrist . Mine has the power of a 50cc moped when I want it to :-) .

[Virt]

Yeah but I'm a wombles retard...

[lloydie]

Would it not be cheaper and better to fix up that scooter in you garage ?

[Virt]

And commute to leamington on it? I'm sorry, I don't have 3 hours to get there and back

The speed you ride you won't notice the difference .

Surly it'll be better if the scooter is Easley fixed .
I know if I had to ride through a bad winter I would choose a scooter .
If you drop it it'll be easy fixed and they offer better weather resistance .
Cheaper tax mot insurance and fuel and great fun to boot

You're missing out the "I'm a wombles retard and will die on the firestorm" part here. I couldn't overtake anything at all today, it was horrible.. I don't want a lot of power, I just need to be able to actually do something! I was melting in my gear.
