£500 bud. It will likely get broken for parts by whoever buys it .
last time i was in london (2017) the bottom floor of the hotel was being refurbished, a few were bikers, they kept their bikes it the glass area inside the new main door area they built. well, one fella, with a matt black r1 like a copy of the one you used to have chained the frame to the post outside. that chain looked like £500 of super security. mega.Cheap scooter?
Just need an engine?
After sinking a grand into refreshing the brakes, suspension, carburetors, fuelling system, etc on the FZR it has developed low compression. Valves were replaced but looks like it needs a top end rebuild so i've decided to cut my losses and just get shot of it cheap.
Back on the hunt for a fun commuter and did the rounds yesterday. Shortlist as follows:
Tracer 900 GT
F750GS
Duke 690R
Duke 790
Am leaning towards the 790 atm - anyone give me any insight?
Doesn't seem that long ago when there were loads of 400s about and the size of entries in 400 races; must still be some decent engines around.
A distant memory tells me that a YZF600 engine can be made to fit. Could have been pint chat though.
Thanks bud but going to buy new on finance this time to cap future spendingwhats the budget this time?
I have a mt09 tracer that would met your original budget if thats the sort of thing your looking. 2016 in mat grey and under 11k miles.
Exup valve is also rattly and frame was found to be dented when the paint was removed from it!Just need an engine?
I think an R6 lump also fits that frameDoesn't seem that long ago when there were loads of 400s about and the size of entries in 400 races; must still be some decent engines around.

Pretty much settled on the 790 now after reading the reviews
LOL true - the man maths took over with this one!No problem, I love how you started looking for a 125 scooter and have worked your way up to a 790 . Perfect bike for commuting though.
