Oh and by the way chaps,

Where do you guys look for used bikes? Just biketrader/ebay?

Or do you know of anywhere else decent?

Anyone in/around coventry area know of any used bike dealers? I'm new to the area

Hi Nicoli and welcome mate.
That bike is the nuts Alun wish i was a nipper again, if i had one of those i may have left home earlier better looking than my old Fizzy.
You are right Jim, there are some fantastic looking bikes around now that we could only dreamed of, but I consol myself with only having to pay £6.30, nearly a whole weeks dole money in 1978, for my bike test.:laugh:

Trying not to get too excited...but may have found a bargain on a Varadero....

Knowing my luck it'll go before I can get funds together but here's hoping.

Will update you when I can :P

That'd be nearly....8/9 x my budget seeing as used husqvarna wr125's are hitting over 4k on biketrader? Lowest around 2k.

Sadly the Vara I was keeping my figners crossed on is no longer in the picture, clearly other people noticed the same thing and it's now at bids that are still cheap for a Vara, but outside what I could pay right now.:(

Just keep saving, then each time you miss out on one you'll have more money for when the next one comes along. ;)

Hi, not sure its strictly an adventure bike but my yamaha XT 125X is a great little bike both for commuting and I've had some great ride outs since I began riding in August and didn't break the bank to buy.
Good hunting
Just riding a bike is an adventure
