There is a cb350  near Hitchin on F-book Marketplace. Is that a similar thing? Looks quite nice to me.

....prefer mooing? Yes, but when we mooo-ved to a rural village there weren't any cows. However, my neighbours two doors down like fresh eggs in the morning, so now it's the wretched cockerel at dawn every day 🙁!

Don't get me started on milk deliveries. People next to us had milk deliveries. Only a few years ago. 5 in the morning...clink clink clink 'f'ing clink....when everyone else walked two streets along to the giant Tesco to buy their milk - that's progress! Lazy sods. You want milk delivered, buy a cow and keep the wretched noise down!

Stick in sub £4k ...there is still lots. A low mileage Sprint in a dealer in Bollingyon (?) and one in Hayling Island.

Max mileage will help too as some if them are pretty high!

...search 700cc, sports tourers on Bike trader and list them from oldest first..BMW airheads, GPZ900,  VF1000, FZ750, Ducati 996, BMW K1, BMW brick, FZR100, CBR1000, ZZR1000....( not necessarily dealers though!).

It's like a dream garage of bikes that used to be sports bikes!

Might be worth assessing your budget and key needs (eh hard luggage/ fairing/ minimum engine size..) then searching - dealers only - in a reasonable radius. It might throw up some other options too and point you to a few free rides!

Having said that, whilst I haven't ever ridden a VFR they've always been in my mind as top of the list for a ride all day sports tourer. There are a surprising number of MK1 750's too so you can still buy a classic!

Misc / Open / Re: Are all Schraeder valves the same?
« on: March 26, 2024, 06:15:21 AM »
Thanks for the thoughts. It's holding air happily, as I would expect - and I think the pressures are lower than my mountain bike which is 36-38psi,(from memory). Valve cap is on too, so I'll sleep easily now,!

I found a 550 wheel/ tyre without a valve, so I took one from a brand new mountain bike tyre and popped it in. It fits and seems to be holding air .....I assume they are all built to the same standard so no reason for a bicycle one not to work on motorbike. Pressure is probably similar.

Any thoughts gratefully received!

Steady! That tank rack is the best item on my 5TA. The kids know it as 'the fish and chips rack' for its usual load!

CB500/550 / Re: Alternative to the chrome points cover

I have a 650 one...it's a good solid thing compared to the 550 one, and it polishes up nicely.

What is it? / Re: Anyone Recognize These Wheels?
« on: March 12, 2024, 08:21:36 AM »
Suzuki GS 550 cast wheels leap to mind. Possibly other GS's if the early 80's.
