Wanted!! Cheap Hack Really

[DoGbOt]

Hey there guy's sorry i've not been around of late but had a bit to sort out really,

I need a cheap little runner not bothered about what it is so scooter to tourer not bothered ( insticts tell me am enduro type would fit the bill)

i could strtch to about £400 max i suppose 50cc to 650cc needs about 2 months mot & similar tax, ( i also know i'm not going to get much more than an old nagg for that money but i'm pinned to the wall really)

as the gix is no longer roadworthy & my car test isn't untill mid november, & i been kicked out of my parents house & so my commute is about 50miles in & out of work now, & public transport just will not get me there, I'm getting lifts in but i'm not sure how long it will be able to continue, so any thoughts or see anything about could you let me know, seen a few on ebay that i might take another look at, just wondered what you guy's might know of.....

Looking good the old bandits engines are second to none so cant see a bad buy there

looks like a nice tidy bike. Or is it the photos making it look better?

i did wonder that but its only got to last me at least 6 weeks & having had experince with bandits & from what the dealer said on the phone i just had to take a chance on this 1 plus there is still some chance of getting my money back on a resale privatley towards the summer months, even if it does need a bit of tlc, i have to admit this was an impulse buy & i havent seen it yet but, bandits being bandits i have a nice feeling on this, plus with all thats gone wrong for me in the last few mopnths my luck has got to change soon! fingers crossed!:jumping2

looks a bargain to me and as said pretty much bulletproof, so dont bother selling it on, keep it as a spare for them "dropped the bike again" moments :D :D

OOHH i know them all to well..... shall see what pans out!!

[ben@gerickes]

my mate gav has one of those..... 55,000miles and never failed him. And to be fair he rides it like a mental!

Funny you should say that cos this one is an absolute gem, runs & rides perfectly, a bit tappety but bothing & adjustment wouldnt cure, feels like its got a new gearbox or its just really well looked after.... has 2 things i need to sort other than a good service..

1.. the trip meter knob is missin (just a push on jobby)

2.. new indicator relay, as it gets enthusiastic... the faster you go the faster it flashes, i pannicked thinking the worst of a dodgy regulator popped on a multimeter & it charges at 14.8 an doesnt go any higher so from memory that sounded fine... any ideas tho might help..

but thats all its not in bad nick either its not just the photo's it really is in that good condition!! how pleased was i!! over the moon!!
