Thanks guys. I think I'm more inclined toward the Suzi GT750 or similar type is what I'm likely to go for, fully restored and working, as my budget is up to £10k. Happy to look at everything at this stage however - it's all new to me and I need that again in biking. The Suzuki GT550 was in my opini...

I had Yamaha RD200 dx,RD250 Dx ,RD400 C,RD 350LC. Suzuki TS250ER,TS185 ER. Maico 250,Maico 400,Maico 490. Yamaha YZ465G. I currently own a CZ175. I wanted an MZ TS250 but could not find one for the right money. If money was no object i would have a Suzuki TS185 ER again as they were nearly as powerf...

I got that yesterday but it didn,t happen this morning.

I finally pulled the trigger and put a deposit down on one just over a week ago (from CooperB) In three years I’ve gone from a 1200GS via a CB500X to the Himalayan and I’m looking forward to having a crack at some light off roading. I purchased my Himalayan Saturday. I havent been out on it yet. I ...

Rush RIP Neil Peart He was a proper ADV rider too. Went on a long distance ride around America on a GS after his wife died. I was never a Rush fan, and I hate his Ayn Rand-inspired lyrics, but Peart was one of the most talented drummers of his time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSToKcbWz1k[media...

They also have a larger more powerful front brake.

When i first looked at the specifications for the Himalayan it didn,t look great on paper but that only tells a fraction of the story. I cannot pass any judgement as i have yet to ride one but the majority of Enfield himalayan owners seem very happy with their purchases. Everyone laughed when i tol...

Isn't motorcycling all things to all people. I've been down possibly every kind of bike from full on litre sports bikes to GS's and everything inbetween and now I'm eyeing up a Royal Enfield. Enjoy you're new bike, I seem to be going in the completely opposite direction. I agree,i have owned many m...

I took the tuned one out at Oxford this year and really liked it except for slightly jerky fuelling at steady speeds 30-40mph. Not the worst I have tried (Cagiva Navigator takes that prize) but enough to really tick me off if I owned one. The guys said they were working on new maps. Some people don...

The Cagiva 125 was one of the first liquid-cooled enduro bikes. There was a convoluted arrangement of hoses and pipes to mount the radiator where the front number-plate should have been...god knows why as all that steered weight high up can have been of no help to anyone, and meant sticking the fro...
