Mate of mine bought a non runner 2019 125cc ajs scrambler off facebook marketplace the other week for £900. We drove down to Pontefract to collect, new battery, 2 new bulbs, carb clean, brake and fuel drain and its up and running again, taxed and insured. Nice little bike with only 6k mileage too.
One of the lads just put a video up on YouTube.
Cracking stuff mate, thanks for posting it. Looks great and the roads, scenery you want to see on a bike.One of the lads just put a video up on YouTube.
The bloke in front at the start of the video is on a KTM1290, then me on the 19 year old Tuono, then another lad on another KTM1290 and finally the camera bike is a Ducati Monster 1200 (I think). After a couple of minutes into the video I see some nice curves coming up so go for it. No speed limits were broken in this video.
The video is a bit blurry but you get some idea of how good the roads are ... and deserted. I wish I was back there now.

I did mate and loved it. I just couldn't get 1 under 5 years old within my budget. I ended up on a 2019 Tiger 1200 with only 750 miles on it
Thats the thing, always bikes around to buy, problem is they hold their value well. Works in our favour, but its a two way street.
Push the boat a little and get an xt660. Great fun being a single cylinder. Buy a few locks too, as whatever off/on road greenlaner you buy will be desirable for thieves.
Usually fit my own, not to bad just got to watch the rims.
Might be a bit too big. Aye definitely will lockee. In fact I'll probably lock it to my vfr aswell as the anchor. Ive got some nice little surprises for ny wannabe thief. Realistically though if they want it they'll get it
CRF250L
Or a CRM250AR, rocking horses shit these days, but one of the best green laners ever built. Love a good 2stroke me.
I've got one of these. Ultra reliable so can be used as commuter and green lanes without rebuilds etc. Not the lightest mind about 150kg which is heavy after you've picked it up a few times
I second crf250l
Luxury.Anyone else all tucked up for the winter? Any winter storage tips?
My Batterys charged, disconnected and in the warm kitchen cupboard for the winter. Tank brimmed to stop the rust, done the fork seals not long ago, changing the oil and the coolant when im off at christmas, fitting my new bike dash cam, viofo mt1. And whatever else i can find to do on it. Ship shop for next spring.
Fair play to you bud. Hard work in the cold. Im a fair weather social rider in the main. Rarely commute, just use the car for that.
Cold air provides better combustion. = more poke.
