Think I’m sorted thanks chaps for your kind pm’s
?...- straight into car at 17
Here you go . coming tomorrow hopefully
The one I’ve bought was used by the guy all year roundLooks good.
I have looked at them but never at them to own them.
Are they worth having as an only bike though ?
I see the 650 has a 3 year, unlimited mileage warranty!
I've no idea what the attraction is for these "retro looking" bikes. Invariably they are full of chrome (nightmare to clean), spoke wheels (ditto), you can't put luggage on them (even a top box ruins the "look"), are not particularly fast, are not comfy for passengers, too small for long trips. I guess you could commute on one (although a decent screen also ruins the aesthetics of them)
So .... apart from a "Sunday ride bike to pretend it's 1962", for all the thousands they cost..I just fail to see the attraction.
The next "bandwagon" will be replica 1980s sports bikes. I bet used values of GPZ900s are creeping up right now...
although i like the looks of these two

That has already begun. Suzuki have relaunched the 'Katana', Krapasaki have relaunched the Z900, Yamaha relaunched the XJR........
At last years bike show, Whitham came on stage and said "welcome to motorcycle live 2018 … Where all the new shit looks like old shit".
Don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried it, these neo retros make a great 2nd bike, I love my T120
Since these pics it’s been fettled but not farkled
