Bike wanted for my Uncle
« on: 21 March 2017, 01:51:51 pm »
Okay I have found my new steed found it from a fellow FOCU member (missed my mint thou from the day I sold it on here!!). My uncle who had bikes for years now wants to come on ride outs bless him; he is retired and only has a budget of £1150. He isn't the tallest at 5,7 so anything from a 250 - 400 - 600 would be good for him; something that's not too heavy and good for medium distances.


We are based in South Wales so closer the better


Cheers

ER5's are a decent bike, light enough, not too tall and more than enough of everything for 95% of users, 95% of the time.  :D

That'll  do alright. Good little toys and a proven engine to boot.
