I ride a px but am looking to get a vbb. Would love a GS but can't justify the spend. What is it you guys ride. I get why you keep the world's separate.

We have a GTS 250, would love a classic to add to the GTS but we just don't have the room for one.

We went up last year, four hours of torrential rain on the way up but it was well worth it, beautiful town and good entertainment in the evenings.

Going back a few months we thought this year would be a massive improvement on the last one but it's not looking promising unfortunately.

I think they look great, you'll always get the odd scooter snob but most of those have got brand new modified parts on there classic scooter.

I’ve had a full engine rebuild (Ts 230 ) about 4 year ago by a reputable engine builder. So far the engine has done very well. It’s taken me all over the country to various rallies and I have a done quite a few in Europe aswell. Hopefully when this bloody virus calms down I can get back on the rallies. Need to have a good blow out and a good dance to some tunes. Lol

Passed my bike test in 97 I’ve had zx6r r6 zx10 rvf 400 r1 and after all these years due to illness and lack of work I’m riding a 125 scooter to get to work and back cheaply ie £5 a week petrol lol obviously bikers have no idea who I am so I get completely ignored apart from the police and young gangster wanna be”s

I see nothing wrong with modern scooters, we've got a gts and it's great for rallies or zipping in and out of traffic if we want to go to the beach in the summer and it'll happily sit on a motorway 2 up at 70 for as long as my arse will let it before age related aches kick in.

Sorry, I’m new to this thread. Just a question about scooters. I’m looking at buying a T5 Classic but it’s up for £2600. Does that seem about the right price? Would I be better looking at rallies? I’m after either a T5 or a P2 ideally.

I thought they might be. I bought my old T5 mk1 from a guy I met at a rally for £600 quite a few years ago. Gutted I sold it now. I’m really after another T5 or P2 range really. Unless I can find an RD350 YPVS engine to go into a lammy.
