New bike for local rides.

Agree, looks very good value for a decent working bike to run around.

I used to travel in and scootch around London on a Honda Dominator, what a laugh! It was the best 'traffic slicer' I ever had, I  Bet that XR with a set of rims and road tyres would be a proper hoot!

You need something nowadays to get away from the two-up-on-a-scooter robbers, narrow, quick with top speed out of their range

It's that reason why I wouldnt take the VFR into town, Saying that I would proper kick off if some little tw%t tried to start on any of my bikes, especially  the VFR. All the videos I see of the little buggers at it in the capital show owners just watching or doing nowt. Id be straight in there like a cartoon cloud full of fists and boots. Burn my house down, meh! Touch my bikes and you're a dead robber.!!!!!

They seem to forget that they are at the most vulnerable when trying to ride the bike away, a swift kick and off they come and whilst they are flat out on the ground a good kicking can be applied.

[Laverdaroo]

That would cheer me up no end. Ive seen folk on utube being threatened with hammers and just stand there. I'd be straight in there, I'd put that hammer somewhere where they never thought would fit!

[Oddjob]

They can't hold a hammer and ride a bike, especially setting off. Just wait for them to try and get away and kick the hell out of them, I'd take the hammer off them whilst they are on the ground and break their fingers with it, broken fingers REALLY hurt.

[Laverdaroo]

Thats why they have a pillion to weild the hammer. They wouldnt stand a chance, inherited, iabetic, gum related issues aside, I haven't got this few teeth from not liking a good 'tear up'  ;D8)

Your missing the point Roo, they may be 2 up when they arrive but if they are going to ride away on your bike they'll have to be one up on both, hence vulnerable.

We know of a 70 year old gent who had his valuable watch ripped off by a gang with a car, in Weybridge near Brooklands. 12 minutes later in Ripley the police got all 4 of their tyres with a stinger! It does work out sometimes! 😁 Keeps it locked up now!

Ah, yup, you're right once more. back in me box.
