phanomenal07 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 So my Daytona 675 was recently stolen from outside my apartment. My original plan was to turn my fz into a scrambler but now I need a track bike. I will be buying another bike. So my question is should I turn the fz into a track bike And buy another rode/ dirt bike (ducati scrambler/crf250 rally) or should I continue the scrambler build and buy another sport/track bike? (Probably another675) just wondering what y'all would do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeus Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Well my FZ is my daily so in my situation I'd buy a SS as a dedicated track bike. I'm sure your situation differs, whatever route you go build with purpose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3crows Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Most of these new scramblers are not dirt bikes, they are street bikes with the barest pretentions of some small amount of dirt capability. Like maybe up and down my gravel driveway. I do like the Ducati Scramblers, but with exception of the Desert Sled, I doublr would be happy much beyond my gravel driveway. My Street Triple can make it so I suppose they can. Get you a track bike or get you a cool scrambler or get you a big dual sport, leave the FZ alone unless you want it to be your track bike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll do ya one hella deal. New, used, parts, service all great. I've never riden anything quite like these darn things. Straight up gp bike with the same price tag as my FZr. Just sayin.

A used R3 racebike wold cost around $3000 and will come with a complete list of go fast goodies and upgrades adding up to $6-7 thousand bucks worth of fun. Make a stupendous track day mount, last for years, easy on tires, cheap parts and tons of them. Hmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I say leave the poor FZ alone and find yourself a decent used bike like an older Yami SR500 that would make for a much better scrambler and an easier bike to transform. It's light, parts are cheap and plentiful, easy to work on and it begs to be morphed into a scrambler. I have a friend in Indiana who had one that he modded and transformed that bike into a beast. You'll keep you right leg in great shape, too! Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleverriver Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I have some of the woodcraft adapter plate/clip ons I am getting rid of if you are interested. Comes with brand new bolts, and gen 2 adapter plate, never mounted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
