so after 5 months with only having a car i decided it was time for a bike again, looked at a few gilly runner 125s but then saw this 1992 suzuki rg125 gamma it cost me £1100 but as it had a fully re powder coated frame swinarm and virtually everything fully rebuilt it seemed ok,its derestricted with 25bhp but its got a 1mm over bore and slightly ported so may have a bit more its been clocked at 95mph so far but after only 300 miles ive knocked the bottom end out of it lol.
thats cool, my gt was actually a first gen rg125, had it at 80mph in 4th gear and got scared to go faster, old 2 stroke rule!
ooohhhh.... do like it.... one of those bikes that "I will someday own" ... .I hate you btw nice fiesta in the background tried mcdonalds tray drifting with it yet?
haha the fiesta get the shit ripped out of it all the time its got a 3inch straight threw pipe just to anoy people haha
how do you think I feel, ive got a Nissan note haha 1.6 automatic and I got the gf a citroen Picasso (oh the shame) haha at the end of the day aslong as it gets you from point A to point B and doesn't break on you all the time then its a good en that's what I try to tell myself anyway (facepalm)
i try to tell myself that to lol i need a nice descreet deisel next the fezza is only a 1.3 but dose 30mpg it i drive it like a nun or a bellend
keep the fiesta for a little while, trust me, insurance is a bastard on bigger engine cars, doing advanced helps loads insurance wise, ive slashed my insurance by over half by doing it. best diesel you can get is a older Volvo, not the ancient ones, but older, v40 is my favourite. theyre virtually indestructible unless you actually intend to kill it and do stupid stuff with it. the note is a pile of shit and boring as hell to drive, yeah its a good car if you just want to get about but it has fuck all power for a 1.6 and is so predictable its annoying. the Picasso is a bag of shit but fun to drive when your in the right mood. youll want to build your no claims or do advanced before you move up though - trust me, i tried to get insured on a Scooby, £13k !
i cant even get insurance on my car, ive been looking at a first road car, thinking of getting something called a volvo feltvogn http://www.finn.no/finn/car/used/object?finnkode=51564861&searchclickthrough=true its got linkage type steering, cable operated brakes and they have all served military time, but they mostly go forever and are built stupid simple, only problem is the sheer size of it.
wont say what im paying on the note fully comp and the Picasso fully comp then, youll hate me. we decided to look around and see if we could get insurance cheaper before I get rid, got quoted £1k for a 1.6 automatic note and £995 for the Picasso... that's for two young drivers...
The plan is to give it a full engine rebuild will upload pics as i go and then start fitting all the fairings properly and also hunt down a micron for it then thrash the crap out of it
will be ordering the parts for the engine rebuild next week and thinking of getting the barrel slightly ported too
yep, thats a ring, my suzuki was a twin, one head looked like that and one was fine, and get this, it had one overbore cylinder and one standard... i bored them both out, couldnt beleive it when it had 2 differnt sized pistons, and one main bearing was totally destroyed, the rod was just sitting on the crank, but it ran like that. damn i wish i still had that bike.
The rg was still running but sounded like a coffee grinder lol although it dosnt need it its getting a new piston and rings too
