      Was just thinking the same when they were saying how bad the suspension was. Sticking a new set of dampers on a shit old vehicle is a great way of transforming it into something half decent for little money even if you go for stock parts.

    This video encouraged me buying my first big bike. I have had big bike license since 2021 but I haven't bought or driven a motorbike since. So today, after watching this remarkable piece of fun, I called the guy on marketplace and 2 hours later, I'm a happy owner of a Kawasaki ZX-6R 1998 G1 in a very rare Ferrari red color, for 1200 quid. I have to admit that I'm not an expert of motorbikes so I followed Alex's refined used vehicle buying guide (as soon as the engine started, we shook hands).

Maybe see if you two can rent or borrow some Groms/Monkeys and take them on a multi day trip around the UK to Scotland or something?? That would be awesome! Take some back roads to get there, not just highways.
