You shifting both the XJ and BB?
Not gonna get far on the Trials bike, what is the ideal replacement for those 2?
DethBeard-
XJ needs gone anyway. The BB I was popping first-gear wheelies over speed bumps earlier. I think I really should sell it.
But… I am learning to love it.
Ideally a smaller lighter sports 600 or 900. Something around 100-120 hp maximum. Basically what I was aiming for anyway. But now I know it for sure - I don’t need to be pushing 130mph and asking “hmm, what if I just…”
On my current trajectory by the end of summer I will be redlining the BB everywhere. I want to take that opportunity away from myself before it’s license in the bin.

Also don’t forget, I have the DR350… that bike will take me anywhere, so long as it’s below 70mph.

Well, ugly as it is, at £1200 for an XJ600N with fresh oil, valves and all the other stuff only a few thousand miles ago, and less than 19k on the clock, someone is saving a bundle.
Similar story if someone showed interest in the blackbird. It had a lot of work done before I bought it - so far all I’ve done is checked the bolts haven’t rattled loose.
But yes I’ll get most of the tax back, maybe lose a month of it if they are being proper tight.
