Here is my yz 426 4 stroke,kick start,leg snapping beast.i bought it off a mate who took it in part ex,rode it a dozen times and then stripped and rebuilt it,very similar to my mini situation.it has some fancy bits ,talon hubs and excel rims,renthal fat boy bars,stupidly loud exhaust,renthal yoke.I changed the plastics to black as i thought it looked meaner,had loads of powdercoating done,its just another toy.

So i got her all legal and an hour later on the A16, BANG,yep she chucked a rod BIG TIME.look at the holes in the cases,so im now over a grand into an engine rebuild,i love work,i go there so i can give my money away to other people.aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhh.

I bought the kawasaki as a cheap hack,its 80's cool.

mmmmm yummy the black looks well hard and I think goes really well with the blue frame. I so want a WR450 or a KTM motard :D

thanks mate,just make sure u put a rod and piston in them,its a weak point on the yz/wr.but they are proper mental.

I had a branny R6,but due to new house flogged it,i saw this at my mates hed had it 15 mins in part ex,i bought it and new i wanted it to look real nice,i wasnt bothered about top end,this is a b road bike,i'd never done a bike before,but compared to re-shelling an escort at 18 with a haynes manual,it was a breeze,best of all you can fit this and the mini in the garage,because if the mrs cant see them she dont know what you've been buying for them,SWEET. :dontgetit:
