Sheffield lad getting into c90s !

Post by brutank » Tue Mar 20, 2012 10:25 pm

'ey'up lads & lasses !

18 year old lad wanting something reliable , good on petrol and vintage to commute to work on ... Ding c90 !

Currently own a Kawasaki Ninja Zx6r 636 which is TERRIBLE on petrol ... and getting kind of bored of having all that power and not being able to use them !

Saving up and looking in to getting a c90 at around August or something , which gives me time to research etc....

Looking to spend around £500-£600 on one :) and wanting the later 12V version ;)

Thanks ! :)

Na that was an event in sheffield last year for a charity event for disabled bikers, I went just to meet others and support the cause and a friend came along and took pictures of me on the bike :) !

Thanks for the welcome (: !

Welcome to the C90 Club :D

Quite a few members have bigger bikes and quite a few will tell you which bike is more fun! :P

Obviously the running cost thing is attractive but it's not the only lure! For that the money you mention you'll have no trouble getting a good one. Look under the rear wheel arch and under the seat for signs of rust. ;)

Welcome Brutank, as Pjam says 5-600 quid will get you a decent enough bike, though i'd be looking at sooner rather than later as prices seem to be very much on the up at the moment :shock: The Yorkshire and Lancs riders get out for a lot of rides, if you keep an eye in the meetings section you'll find something! Big meeting not far from you Matlock Bath outside the Aquarium Sat Mar 31st/Sun Apr 1st if you fancy a ride down for a nosey and a chat with any of us.....would suggest being there about 9am, likely more riders on the Sunday ;)

Sometimes members try to sell their Cub, usually we try to put them off :lol:

Best deal I ever got was from the local rag!

well looks like I may be planning to get one in about June/july ?

I got told I've got a pay rise from my boss ... ALWAYS a good thing ;)

If I could maybe try get one for around £400 / £450 ... Id be preatty happy ....

I'd then love to customise it myself and add personal touches ,

But I wouldn't go silly ... I usually like things near enough to original :)
