...Retro bike. Looking to do my bike test and get something cheap (£150-200) to smoke about on that gets decent mpg and is relatively reliable. Should also be insurable Importantly, it should be able to carry 18 stone of 6'3" beardy northerner. So...Whatcha got? *n

I first thought Yamaha RD 2 smoke of some sort.... but they're pricey.
How easy is it to get hold of old Jappa thumpers? Stuff like old XR500's, XT500's, DR370's and so on.... get a cheap big 4 stroke trail bike and modify it supermotard style for the road, some nice road tyres on the spoked rims (polished of course!) matt black tank, guards, sidepanels, and to contrast a nice shiny high megaphone style exhaust!

Oh I've also had another brainwave.... something a bit newer, think mid 80's Japanese watercooled 2 stroke trailie, KMX, RMX 200 or something, coated in olive drab, black rims, pure military spec for the road.... and doing drug runs

How about a ...... Bombardier Can-Am Ex British Army bike. You could pick these up for a few quid at auction in the late 80's Had a few myself. Not sure if there's any left out there though? 250 Rotax engine, only available in matt green. Retro or what? Try these guys: Military Can-Am

Seems to be a complete lack of early 125's out there. I want to bob an early Honda or Yam but I have no idea where all the old bikes have gone. If anyone can help they will aid my retro disease no end. Just riding on a CBT here, can't be bothered and can't afford to do my test.
Honda CG125 Supersport has a parallel twin like a miniature Triumph, 10,000rpm and 13hp, CG125 just a normal 4-stroke single, Yamaha SR125 125cc single but with a nice vertical bore and a pretty cylinder head. Only trouble is the Supersport has a pressed monocoque frame which wouldn't be easy to convert to a full frame chop and get away without SVA etc.
