Thread: Two wheeler for the missus.....

I'd go for an XR200 over a 150, both are bullet proof but a 150 will struggle in the sand a bit much I think.

If you're after a farm type bike then you can't beat the mighty TF125 aka mudbug for value and reliability, I've got one sitting in the driveway but needs a new coil.

I’m not planning on selling it sorry, it’s had a real hard life, I got it from my mate who’s a MX rider and I’m an ex MX rider, standing up to our punishment is a tribute to them. I just use it to give the kids a ride around.

The AG200 is another good one, but need the electric start model as they have the 21in front wheel, I hate the 5-up gearboxes on them.

The TF has better handling in my opinion.

The mighty mudbug TF125, should be easy to find, and even when there fucked they still run. But for the beach a quad would be the best bet as they dont dig into the sand like a 2 wheeler unless you are really trying hard to get stuck, and quad has brakes on the bars and foot.

They never ran hot and clean so engines were suck.

That said, there's some oz yobbos who put on the "postie challenge", limited to the 50cc, getting from top to bottom of Aus. Madness, and brilliance. Not sure if they're allowed to carry spares or it's all bush engineering.


You should have gone with that. Way funnier.
All we really know is she has a bung foot and can't be too fat (he's looking at 100s)... I'll open the bidding at 1/2 a fucked MVX
- the other half if she cooks and cleans, too.

A guy named Nathan Millward took a partly used postie bike from Sydney to London by way of Nepal IIRC. Couldn't kill the bike, too stubborn to quit. Indestructible pair.

Initially I was thinking " show us a pic of your missus - that will dictate what we can swap for her " but thats just crass and silly ......

Here she is, bit fat, but a heart of gold.

she can ride me untill you find a bike

Drz 250 or the 125 pop up pretty cheap sometimes on trademe.

If you have enough space or a bike holder for the tow bar then a 4 stroke 250 dirt bike may be an option. I'd avoid a 2 stroke. Rebuilds and pretty powerful motors will cause issues

It's Mrs 40mm again. I've done my research and been to look at a few bikes and have narrowed it down to either a CRF125 or CRF150. Next question......who has one of these in good nick that they would like to sell to me??? Pretty please!
