Hi there...
so, my recent mechanical "exploits" have encouraged me to look for a project bike...I have seen the africa twin/dominator threads but I am scared of approaching anything that big/difficult myself. The idea is to buy something cheap, and slowly do it up to new/better than new myself, learning about engines in the process...
I am looking for something
1. Japan made
2. cheap
3. simple to maintain/rebuild/improve
4. something which i could use to improve my offroad skills once its done
5. i am 90+kg so a 250cc?? could i get away with a 125?
what are your suggestions?
