Re: Now For Some Style

it is modern mate, its just 2 years old :)
but based on the 70's Vespa style

Showing my age mate, I rode some of the seventies vespa's/lambrettas, had a tv175 + sx200 once but didn't suit my riding style

This is my niece's new bike before she collected it.
She's 5ft 3 and only weighs about 8 stone. View attachment 58331

feck me is that the Vespa cus there's a battered one always parked next to mine at work.
Think he's one of the surgical crew so i might offer him £100 for it lol

@chrispeters...The ducati is nice but that R6 is sweet mate,get a new can and it will sound has good as it looks.

no m8y, a sx200 was a lambretta. any original lambretta now fetches good money.

even a Vespa done up depending on the model can fetch a decent price, and if you can lift one up for a ton do it, cost a few notes to get up n running and oaint job but you will make out it and this is time of year to do it with the summer and good weather on its way (hopefully lol)
 
this is my beast... Aprilia Tuono RSV 1000

2003 model.. first registered in 2008.. ony done 700 miles :(

Anyone going to Oliver Mount today ? I'm heading off in about 30 mins.


when you get there pop into my parents house and say hi for me they live about 10mins away (east ayton)
 
Nice :)
:) I had a white PX125 back in 84 :)
only had it a couple of months and stacked it lol then had it resprayed Yellow :)
This is a P2 Disc, had it since 2000. Came off it on the way to work so it needs a new mudguard now and a bit of a respray on the engine panel.
 
Guess which numpty dropped his bike not once but twice while cleaning it the other week :(

I was cleaning it and it was on its paddock stand, guess I mustnt of had it locked in right coz it just toppled over, I caught the back end just before it bounced off the ground, few eh ;) My back was in bits after. Anyway put it back on stand and went round front, stupidly I tried to rotate the front wheel just to get that last bit, yeah I mean why would I waste time putting the front one on so I could spin the wheel ;) Yeap you guessed it over she went again.

Couldnt catch her this time though. The fairing as a crack down the inside edge and my crash bung on the side is scruffed as well as the bar end.

Could of been worse I guess.

So not wanting to spend £300 on a lower fairing I polished it up and added a Michelin man ;)
