Re: Hello from Oxfordshire

Hi Neil


I bought a Chinese crosser, very shortly afterwards I got rid of it, I thought a nice clean 07 reg with a thousand on the clock was a bargain at £450, very soon the only thing on my mind while riding it was breaking down.
I now have an 02 Marauder, not that fast but great fun and gets far too much interest for a 125.

It surprised me how many of us are returning to bikes after a long while, you won't regret it trust me.

Oh and welcome to the forum mate.

Re: Hello from Oxfordshire

Well, thanks for all the advice - I think I'll steer clear of the chinkies!

The finance is on the way, so tomorrow I'm off to the local dealership to sort my CBT and start buying the kit....then the search begins for my Varadero! <grin>

Re: Hello from Oxfordshire

Well - bugg3r, that was unsuccessful!

Turned out the Varadero is too tall for a stumpy-legged midget such as myself, so I've had to start turning my eyes toward the cruiser types instead.

Suzuki Marauder looks pretty good value, and the local dealer offers a good service, so we shall see.
