New joiner but long time lurker

Hi, apologies for not joining many years ago but this partly due to my shy nature and partly because of how good the the TTR250 is!

To explain, I have never had any real problems that I needed help resolving, have never felt I could offer anything else constructive that someone had not already said and never really needed to locate any parts etc.  The TTR is so simple, reliable and good fun that I thought I had better keep it secret.

 

Anyway the time has come where I do hope to get something from the forum, so here I am.  Sorry.

 

I have posted a wanted ad for a mint TTR250 and a for sale ad for my commuter TTR250 all in one on the for sale thread.  

If anyone knows of a mint TTR250 for sale in their local shop I would appreciate a steer in the direction.

 

Bit about me as a biker.

Gave up on really fast bikes a few years ago but still love all bikes and in particular 70's Jap stuff.

I have several old XS400's and 250's including the one I passed my test on, my original FSIE (non-runner) from my youth  an X7, an SRX250 (80's bike) that I am restoring, a Ybr125 for fun and an MT07 for sunny summer days.  So just another long in the tooth biker reliving his youth, the only difference being I am not a born-again, I have always been a biker.

 

Good to meet you all.

 

Richard

Welcome (at last) Richard.

You say you are a new joiner - I need some new windows and doors fitting in my house - can you give me a quote? biggrin

Good luck on sourcing a young TTR minter for under £2k and good luck on getting what you want for your bike.

Patience is a virtue, 'tis said.

Let's hope you get sorted soon - you may even fancy one of TTfan's creations - they're very good.

Martyn

Hi Richard and welcome to the forum biggrin

Quite a collection of bikes you have there and lucky to still have your FS1E - nice bit of nostalgia!

Brian

I have a brother that bought a 2011 ttr brand new when he heard they were going to stop being sold here in ozz . It's only got 27kms on it and he won't sell it to me .

Plenty of great ttrs on evil bay in ozz

Cheers for the welcome guys.

I wish I had carpentry skills, I struggle to hang a picture straight.

I don't want to pay less than 2k for a minter, I said that any for sale at less than 2k wouldn't be good enough.  It looks like I may still be way off as I was thinking 2250-2750 but one has just popped up for 3.5k.  A contractor that does work for us has just bought a 2014 pre-registered CRF250 off a dealer for less than that!
