RE: Winter Bike Restoration Project: HONDA XL 185cc (1981) 29,000 Miles (Bought on eBay for £700/$850)
I've had Fireblades and CBRs, but this is just so much fun to ride - she is so light! My CBR was nearly 200kg! TWICE the weight!
Mine is a 2006 CRF450R. Bought it used a few years ago. I had a XR200 before that, didn't like it much, too slow. I started on a 1985 Suzuki DS80 back in 1989. I'm not sure how I'd be able to survive a summer without a bike. I like the dirt and trails though. The way people drive out there, I'm not sure my heart can handle a street bike.
I had a 2014 CBR 600, but sold it, banked the cash and went for this little beauty instead ... she'll see me through the Winter months just fine ;)
I'm Canadian. All I can do is go to the garage and make sure my bike isn't lonely during the winter months. I'll still take it out in the snow, but the ground is so much harder in winter if you know what I mean.
I know what you mean! Bonnie Scotland is just as bad. All the pics were taken in my monster garage, so it keeps her from getting too lonely in the Winter months too ;)
