So did you swap a bike or add to the collection? If you did swap I’d be interested to know what bike and why? 🙂👍

no ian i got rid of me t7 earlier in the year still have me two crfs ....just took a punt on 70plate trk fully kitted for 4k ...im a bit wary of the old china reputation but to be fair ive no complaints at all so far ..very nice soft tourer ..if it hold up ok its alot of bike for the money ...does ride surpringly well

@@minkyhead wow 4K that’s mad

[@iangriffiths9930]

I’m not sure I could have brought myself to sell a T7, had a go on one a few months ago and it was bloody awesome! I don’t think there is anything wrong with Chinese bikes now, Chinese are building bikes for all the major brands now anyway.

@@iangriffiths9930 gave it a go never really gelled with it suspension was plain awful and too heavy for off road for me ...good bike but it is too heavy for a dual sport ...it was blowing knobed tyres in 1200 miles and with them on wasnt really aggod bike to mess about with high speeds different class of bike altogether i guess but with the same specs as the china moped would be south of 10k now ..comparing it to o a cn 500x is more appropriate id tthink

@@minkyhead seeing as you mentioned knobby tyres, I need to change out the stock tyres on my CRF250l. I was looking at mitas mc23 as I ride a lot of rocks and gravel but I’d appreciate your thoughts on the mitas and maybe what other tyres I should consider. I should add I ride a lot on the road as I ride to all my local byways.
