From: malc on 5 Feb 2010 17:33 I managed to Nige the R1100RS out on ebay for a respectable �1485. But now what to get for its replacement? I saw a Suzuki RF600 at Biker Dean for not a huge amount of money with less than 30k on the clock. Are these any good? -- Malc Rusted and ropy. Dog-eared old copy. Vintage and classic, or just plain Jurassic: all words to describe me.

It's a Bandit engine wrapped up in plastic - good solid and dependable bikes but the plastic hides all the corrosion. -- Lozzo Versys 650 Tourer, CBR600F-W racebike in the making, SR250 SpazzTrakka, TS250C, RD400F (somewhere) Garage clearout - Yamaha SpazzTrakka 250 for sale, email for details

Might be worth a punt then. http://www.bikerdean.co.uk/page3.htm �900 with 18k miles. I'll have to take a torch and a mirror with me if I go to look at it. -- Malc Rusted and ropy.

Seems they must be doing well as they have opened a 2nd shop. Is it the blue one here? http://www.bikerdean.co.uk/page3.htm Compared to some of the colours they had that is not too bad. From what I remember they were a worthy bike but not as good as the FZR pictured above it or the CBR6. Some of those AJS bikes on http://www.bikerdean.co.uk/page2.htm are gopping. The NAC125 twin looks okay though. -- wessie at tesco dot net BMW R1150GS
