Not sure if this is the right place to put this, but I'm looking for a 2t, with a budget of around 2K.

I'm after a enduro bike, not an mx'er or one of those dangerous Cavey Trials bike things, & so far everything I've looked at is shit!

I realise at this money, I'm not going to get an '10 or '11 model, thats been owned by some little old lady that rode it to church every sunday. I don't mind a bit of a fixer up'er either, but am I being a bit unrealistic with what I can get for 2K?

I went to look at that one, bit confusing really, the shop want £2350 for it, enduro news he's asking £2200! He says it;'s SORN, but there is no MOT on it & the shop said straight away that it needs work to pass one.

Two of his selling points, suspension service & plastic bash guard, the rear top shock mount is shot, fork seals leaking ( both mot fails ) bash guard has a big hole in it & hanging off! Things like that I can sort myself, but the missing clock, bent rads & general poor condition, to me, it's not worth the money.

I am thinking of the 300 gasser in Bodmin, buts its a bit of a trek, if it's another pile of cack 🐷

True what they say about bikes looking better in photos
I bought my CRF from north wales.rang the bloke and had a good chat first as you can easily figure out if they are idiots or genuine people and then get a good idea on the bikes condition.

theres another EC300 in cornwall [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

I'd try and arrange seeing the 2 and going for a day trip Very Happy
