I've had my 950 since 2005...have ridden other 'comparable' bikes but there's nothing that really compares to it...not even later KTM twins. It has an appetite for distance and the ability to tackle at least moderately tough lanes etc. With a good strong rider on it, it could go almost anywhere...b...

leaves you £2k contingency to sort out the oil leak.

Looks hideous IMHO, but who cares.

I must admit out of all the bikes out there a 990-950 takes my fancy quite a lot

What’s the issue with the current bike? or are you just looking for a change. Honestly nothing I was just looking for something that was better offroad that being said I did wonder what I could do to the tiger to bring it up to a standard that was ok offroad. There’s not a lot of information out th...

Yep. a slightly used nearly new, cb500x, I’ve had 2 & wondered why I sold em, I’m on the lookout for a bike now (again!!) & it would’ve been a cb500x which has just been updated but deliveries seem to be 2-3 months from now? Yep a cb500x is a good shout,perhaps not quite suited for offroad ...

Looking to buy a new bike in a few months 5k ish. It will be my only vehicle so used to commute and weekend fun. Just putting it out there for people to give me some options Cheers How far is the commute? What do you need to carry on your commute? What is the weekend fun you want to use it for? How...

I was lucky I only paid £1000 I’m taking it for an mot Friday and the plan iOS to ride it as is to see if it has any age related gremlins then just start modifying it.

I’m looking to ride it most days so I’m hoping a new decent battery and I should be good to go. I have also seen mentioned a air box mod so I’m sure it will be on the list
