    How does a ttr600 for under 3k sound Ecks?.

    Don’t know those bikes Boony, but I reckon a 600 will be a bit much in tight single. I’m not TB who can punt a red tractor through anything known to man! :laugh:

    A few Coffs inmates up that way that may be able to assist.

    Ok, link not working. Nice DR350 on ebay up Coffs. No doubt if you have been searching ebay you would be onto it.

    Yep, watching that one, looks good!

    Good onya Al!

    Trying to think of something different but good. Found a SuziTS200 on gum tree.. gawdawfully ugly, but they were alright back in the day… for a 2-Banger.

    Of the new generation of liquid cooled bikes, the WRF’s are good and reliable, but good ones are out of budget…

    Yeah, like the idea of a DR350 or XR400. Kickstart only, but much better power…

    Still open to other ideas though!

    Wow. It did look clean. I’ll offer him half for you and see how it goes.

    If he wants more than half, I’d also chuck in two bob and a pickled egg! (But not a penny more!) :laugh:

    Yep, saw that one, it must be either nearly new or gold-plated – he wants $5500!

    Always ride for the Monday afterwards. Being self employed, I am always pretty cautious on a bike. Not lacking confidence, but always thinking ahead. Reckon it has saved me more than once. I ain’t quick, but I make it home in one piece.

    The later model DR350 is a good thing Ecks. I nearly bought one before I got the Husky. Some say the DRZ400 was a backwards step from the 350.

    What about an RMX? plenty of them going cheap.

    Yeah, like the idea of the 350, but they are rare and good ones are not cheap, well, not as cheap as my budget! Been looking for one for ages as a project, thought I had one there for a while but it fell through.

    Why not an RMX? Well, because deep down inside, I love my 250 4-strokes, and have a soft spot for the DR & DRZ’s! I have never been a 2-stroke bloke, although I have ridden some crackers. I feel comfortable on a 250 4-t and that’s about it!
