I'm not arguing my dear fellow
Merely stating that if these lovers of bikes cannot be fussed to click a bookmark, then it can't really be a huge issue
The forum is there, it is not used. I don't really know what else to say

That, or there are a huge number of bike forums that already cater for this type of thing? There definitely is no forum covering a motorbike equivalent of retro rides. If you goto the 'Readers other Modifications' section, the top pinned post gives you this retrobikes.proboards.com/Which I would say is exactly the Bike equivalent of Retro Rides no? |

Nope, the Retro bikes forum is effectively dead. And that should tell you all you need to know... |

They’d suit lovely, but I fear they will be over budget
Which I forgot to add, isn’t a lot

The question should be, why TF you'd want to drive a vehicle with a diesel engine in... They have their place chap but has as been said, being used outside it they don't work efficiency... School run/shops etc. (blame the government etc... ect. Yawn) But to answer your question it's because they use relatively less fuel over petrol given certain parameters mentioned; They have better torque, less gear changes, more longevity are more waterproof, basic service parts. As you say a 'vehicle' I couldn't imagine the cost implications running my agricultural vehicles on 'clean' petrol... do you know where it comes from? 😜 Don't take insult... I'm just saying diesels have their place where they started: Agriculture and motorways... Not on the shops/school run as they've become which makes them killing nuns and kittens😭 I am of course being light hearted, diesels work well in tractors, lorries and vans (larger ones, I wish my Connect had a petrol engine) As an aside, the inventor committed suicide, no doubt when someone high up told him his new tractor/Train/Lorry engine would be placed in a car... I'm also aware older diesels appear to work-ish, newer ones are dire as they try to make them clean. It still doesn't change the fact they sound fecking awful  |

Marginally less - more expensive - fuel
They sound awful
Egrs, dpfs, ad-blue bags, turbos, injectors are pretty much a service item
They sound awful
They rev to like 3rpm
They sound awful
Kittens cry

All PM's replied to
Really not looking to swap for anything other than whats stated. I do like cash though.
She really is a good car, used daily with no issues...
Some notes to make it simpler for folk.
I do live near a train station
I don't live near an airport
It's up for £550, not £350 or even £425. I can take an offer as much as the next guy, but you should prob of looked at it first.
