Selling my DL650 `12 + many custom bits
« on: January 20, 2018, 19:17:36 »
White, 2012 (62 plate), ~40k, it's been used but I've taken care of it,

Only just made the decision to sell - either selling the bike as-is - or putting back to stock and selling all the bit's I've added on here.

It's been sat for 6 months - stored dry - I'll get it serviced + mot'd at a friendly local dealer before parting ways.

List of bits I bolted on:

Givi airflow screen
Oxford heated grips
Bark busters
Bagster tank wrap + top sellerie bag
12v socket on crash bars
OEM crash bars
Michellin Anakee 3's with <1000 miles
Givi pannier rails
ram-mount socket above the clocks
OEM "skid" plate (it's just for looks really!)
OEM centre stand

Will come with stock mirrors & stock windscreen + the adjustable lip thing too.

Only difference to the above is I put the plastic chain guard back on and transferred the top-box plastic hex part of the mounting plate to another bike.

In the spirit of honesty, I only had one "off" of any note on this bike a few years ago, only cosmetic damage (I hopped back on and carried on to work), tally was: broken mirror (replaced with the aprilia ones), broken hand guard (replaced with bark busters), and the right tank cover got a scrape - I bought the leather tank wrap instead of replacing at the time as I wanted a tank bag anyway, I might replace this before sale as they are cheaper now!

I've kept it as a backup bike (bought a super-ten) - now I'm after a green-lane machine (crf450 or similar)

Open to offers (or exchange if you have something similar to a crf450) / viewing (central Leicester), drop me a message if you're interested!

Excellent choice!

Good luck with the sale.

Josh will tell you you've already bought a green lane machine.

Good luck with the sale.

Crf450 is a cracking bike. But a real handful if you're not an experienced off road rider.

Mainly 250cc bikes are best to start with.
Enough power (I'm fat)
Light weight (you'll be picking it up a fair bit)
Lower initial cost (less to loose if you get a bigger one as your experience grows)

I've had 2 250cc enduros and the next one will be a 250cc again. They are so addaptable. Ask a mate to borrow one and see how you get on before jump in.

A CRF250/WR250 would be just fine by me, I just happened to be looking at a cr450 yesterday! - The difference in power doesn't bother me much, but the more relaxed service schedule would certainly be welcome!

The super ten is surprisingly capable off road, I've ridden 1000's of miles of hardpack/gravel in europe & norway - but I want to grow my skills locally on a  lighter bike.

Gear a 250cc right and it'll get up the slopes a 400cc will dig itself a hole and stay there.

I've swapped with a mate on a DRZ400. After 30mins I couldn't wait to get back on my TTR250.
TTR 250s are cheap, air cooled singles and are lighter than the WR250!
