Nope, but I can see where you're coming from. It's an er5. Carlos. My mate built it. The black one is a gpz500. Dendrob. I built that one. The Beemer is a 1983 R100. The boneshaker. I did that one. Did quite a few miles in that guise, bout 20k. The bike has done 100k. Sold it a couple of months ago to a mate to help fund the storm. Miss it but, hey, things move on. I'm hankering after a little 400 four, fzr or similar but I haven't anywhere to put one! I have another gpz500 on the go and a honda 250rs with an fmx650 injun (half) fitted. Never a dull moment.Mav617 wrote:Both look nice, but what's the red one? MZ Skorpion build?
I had a GSXR-400 back in the day, nice little bike and can pick them up cheaper than an FZR - rev happy fookers too. Had a CB250RS too, handled really nicely but was dead slow compared to a 250LC so sold it and got another Elsie.Dendrob wrote:Nope, but I can see where you're coming from. It's an er5. Carlos.

Yes any of the sports 400's would do. I haven't got the space tho so I'm hoping the feeling will pass.Mav617 wrote:I had a GSXR-400 back in the day, nice little bike and can pick them up cheaper than an FZR - rev happy fookers too.

Go for it. On the right roads they're good fun. You don't have to restrict yourself to pottering either. They're only just powerful enough to potter.Mav617 wrote:I'm very enamored of that ER-5 build, and they're cheap as chips. Tempted to do one myself for pottering around on.
