Mk2s are good for off road cos it dont matter too much what they look like. But on road its nice to have somethin that looks pretty.

Id love a mk3 for the road but just cant afford. ARs are lovely but i personally wouldnt spend the extra on them, when like you say, theyre the same in looks to a mk3.

Mk3 - More tunable, more reliable and same looks.

hi thanks for the replys. no the crm i have is in a verry bad way it would cost over £800 to just put on the road and still be very tatty at best. i had to have work done to make it safe to ride even off road. i think my price range is bot £1400 i may go up to 2000 if i have to sell my dt200r but i dont realy want to do that if possible. i think i just look for mk2/3 then and leave the ar alone. thanks all.

I have a really nice 1997 AR around 6000miles and hardly been used off road
took me 2 years to find it and it was the best I saw
It is standard apart from full DEP exhaust system

I'm looking for £1550.00

I'm in Berkshire, if your interested drop me a mail
