Hi all

Name is Rhys and I'm Melbourne based. I've got a little 1984 Yamaha SR250 Cafe Racer which is good fun, now (thanks to the tax man) I'm looking for a street fighter up to around $5,000. Am very new to this so that's about as detailed as it gets for now. Love the Z750 but don't want to stretch that far right now...any suggestions are welcome :)

This is the most recent shot of the 250, have since replaced the mirrors with a small round single...

Have thought about it, but since building the cafe i've moved into an apartment so don't have the room for a build really. And to be honest i kind of cbf doing another buiild right now. Just want to get something and enjoy it!

cool little SR man.

There is plenty around for under 5k, just depends what you are after.

Vtwin or tripple of 4? big bike/small bike?

Welcome mate, My girl Has a SR 250 she built also. Nice bike.

You'll be able to get a nice fighter for five grand. Just be patient and hang around here for a while and someone will be bound to put there beloved up for sale.
There is a guy on here called Elapid who was selling a TRX. If you're upgrading from riding your SR 250 it may be a good step up. The TRX is a nice forgiving bike to ride and they sound pretty sexy.
