johnnyboxer Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) I'm fancying another bike, alongside the 4RT Can decide between Twinshock Yam or TLR or an Aircooled Mono Pinkie or RTL? I think the Mono may be more rewarding Prices seem all over the place though Edited January 16, 2016 by johnnyboxer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pschrauber Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 There is the saying: A gentleman should have some bikes, (can't have enough if you are obsessed in this matter). Anyway as older the bike as more different is the ride. A monoshock is quite nice but today can't be ridden in every classic event. With a true twinshock you have a broder choice. As older the bike as less it matters which one you choose, it's really up to you. The bike should fit your personal requirement's and taste 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyl Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I have TLR 200 and seems to suit having 2 four strokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Find a Fantic 200 , 240 or 300 ... All great bikes stock , and with a little tweeking , will do anything you need. And you won't lose $$$ on one .(hopefully) Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornishtwinspring Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Agreed on the fantic 200/240 but the 300?? that's a camel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perce Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) 315 Mont? I know just the bike I can think of a nice 330 Mont as well if you'd like the twinshock route. Edited January 16, 2016 by perce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyboxer Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 315 Mont? I know just the bike I can think of a nice 330 Mont as well if you'd like the twinshock route. I saw that 315 - but decided against another as I'd had 2 & preferred the 4RT to the 315 Got a weird hankering for a TYZ though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chegz Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Love riding my aircooled mono beta but as said its differcult to find a class sometimes!!! The changes to the Normandale rounds hasn't helped either!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know of a very nice pink ty mono, it was nice bike before it was restored, even nicer now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve fracy Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 315 Mont? I know just the bike I can think of a nice 330 Mont as well if you'd like the twinshock route. How much for the 330 and pics if you have them? :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross brown Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) Have a 4RT and love it. Liked the 'idea' of a twin shock but found a TL heavy and disppointing. Rode a TLR00 and was very disappointed ( but still lovthe look). Fell out of live with twin shocks soon after. So my second bike now is a Beta125 2011. I find its a lively learning tool and has helped me be more agressive when I ride the 4RT. It is light, reliable and fun. Did I say it was light" Edited January 17, 2016 by ross brown 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I say it was light" That's a good point Ross I had a proper original Godden Majesty 200 until about 8 years ago & always favoured the modern bikes as the brakes & chassis/suspension was crap in comparison & had a TLR200 as well I guess we forget how far modern bikes have come on, in 30 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shedracer Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 RTL all the way Johnny, everybody always says why, because like a 4RT, they are very rewarding to ride and own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyboxer Posted January 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) Your choices of second bike sounds like you are looking for a trip down the memory lane..................................................do the opposite to have fun .....get a modern 125 its a challenge to ride one and ITS FUN. It will probablly cost less aswell. I went down memory lane, 8-10 years ago with a TLR & Majesty and they weren't as good as we THOUGHT they were in the 1980's... perhaps I shouldn't bother again Edited January 17, 2016 by johnnyboxer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stroke4stroke Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 How about a compromise? I can let you have a 125 SWM☺ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
