I have a 2013 Hunter Bobber. It is a nice bike for Learners, and I think that it looks great too. It is fun to ride, but has had some intermittent electrical issues. I haven't ridden it for a few months, and need to get someone to look at it.

Engine will cut out, EFI light going on. I suspect something is getting too hot and the engine switches off to not damage itself. It does;t die every time I've ridden it, so its hard to replicate to diagnose. Usually dies on the road, not in the driveway. I'll need to trailer it to a dealer for them to look at it.

Here's my Thruxton

First i had an RD250LC then a 350 with red stripes , still on P plates!

Then the RG500 was anounced and i rode the first GSX750 that was released just before the ( Barry Sheene replica square , stepped 4 two stroke ) RG came out and they tried hard to get me on the 750 but the wait was worth it for the RG , that 2 stroke power was intoxicating. Sometimes smokey too...

Went to a K100RS Motorsport version in pearl white for a bit , dunno about that , shoulda got the Harley i tried as well instead...

Then into the RED RG 500 , that one had GP500 number plates from the prev owner , great bikes , wish i kept em incl the Rds as they are all worth a fortune now....
RG500 was $4800 new on the road.

G'day,
These two are my latest bikes, should keep me busy for years to come. The FJ is the highest maintenance demanding machine ever! The XJ? never any problems...

Yamaha must have sold lots of FJ1100s!
They were everywhere for years used for everything.

I got my fleet down below twenty bikes.

This is the 1989 KDX200 I rebuilt a couple of years ago.

Does anyone want to buy my 2013 Hunter Bobber? Need to sell it to build a motor for Hank.

and my humble MZ 250 from Zschopau in the old East Germany.

can anyone remember when a tiny factory in East Germany was the world leader in 2 stroke design ?
