    Going looking at bikes this week (provided my YBR sale goes through) and have spent the past 4 hours trawling Gumtree/DD etc

    Basically i have €1500 to spend and have narrowed it down to the above. I have a full license but have agreed with SWMBO that i wont go any higher than a 250. i use my bike to commute across town ~15-20 miles a day. so dont need anything bigger anyway

    The YBR has been great but just fancy a change, something with a bit more poke. I'm 6 foot and 14 stone so a tall bike like the Varadero/TDR/VT appeals but the hooligan 14000rpm Jade 250 looks like more fun.

    TDR 125

    Is the TDR any more fragile/high maintenance than a varadero, being a stroker?

    Any opinions/alternatives welcome

    the van is underpowered and would have a two stroke if legislation was different
    the cbr is too small for you
    the tiny twin makes no sense

    the tdr is the only one i would like to own and i have 4 bikes in the garage

    i'm 6.2 and a fit 17 stone btw
