CRF250L v GSXR1100

Not sure how exposed everything will be without the 'thing' though.  Got a spare set of renthals in the garage so I could do it properly.

£750 less for the CR500 though.  Not that it needs anything like that much (maybe 75).  I think the real problem with the CR is that I have lost my off-road bottle.  Once this year's OU course is finished I can spend some time on bikes I hope.

Just had a look on ebay and with a fair wind I could get £200-250 for the fairing panels if I wanted to.  Could just fit them instead.

After spending most of the time since my impacted cocyx driving a car and being bored stiff by driving tin boxes on wheels that easily spin and hit stuff I wanted a winter hack.  I seriously thought about the CRF but decidied against it as it would entail 36 months of pain also being a 250 it is a bit gay for the road.

So, browsing ebay and came across a streetfightered GSXR1100 in Cornwall.  Strange because hasn't be streetfightered due to a smash just a whim.  Bit of concern about 3rd gear but it has 12 months MoT and 6 months tax and all the original fairing panels in mint condition - £750.

Seems perfectly ideal to me as winter hack! smile
