+1. Aprilia makes some beautiful bikes. I just looks at the new CBR250R and it looks hideous to me.

Nice choice with a Scrambler!! Does he plan to turn it into a Cafe racer?

Hell yea!

[Infernal]

the street triple looks awesome as a cafe racer


bike was made for a biker cafe in london

I'd love to see a modern interpretation of a cafe racer. Unfortunately, cafe racers don't have huge following here in the US like it does in Europe.

You'll like it, I've had mine for a couple years, has 12,000 miles on it. Its a lot of fun in the curves. Here's me on the track (although not an amazing quality pic):


I am considering making it a full time track bike and getting a daytona 675 or zx6r. But, for now I'll have the 250 for a few years. Its cheap and easy to maintain and I get mpgs in the 60s even when I am running it hard.

it looks nice
i dunno what color to get (between the black and green)

I have an example being restored with my father and I. We got it for $500, and guess what?

It's a 26-year-old bike with only ~7000miles!!

Here's the thread on VFRWorld if anyone is interested, feel free to comment

Nice, congrats on the find, especially with only 7,000 miles. That's awesome that you know the history of the bike. :happy0180:







I just saw these pics posted up on Troy Bayliss' FB!

My first bike was a GPX250, exactly like this one.
It was destroyed in a hit and run by a guy who went through a red light.


My dads VF750F was good fun.
Destroyed by a cager driving through my dad in a round-about.


And then came my pride and joy... CBR600RR, which I baught new, rode for 6000km, then decided that motor bikes only belong on a track and no where else. So I sold it, because I couldnt afford a $15000 toy at the time.


Bikes are just too dangerous to ride on the road, both my dad and I have both had multiple serious, life-threatening accidents as a result of other peoples terrible driving. So I've given them up untill I can afford to get a purpose track bike.

If you find Cbr600rr belongs to the track, you will hardly find a sport bike for the street. The only bike with street comfort beside 600rr on top of my head right now is GSX-R 600/750.
