BURNER HATERS PLEASE NOTE!!!!!!

[jimmyp]

it's panic buying, when will we all learn that there's always another one, nothing is that rare!

For me it a condition thing now. That bike is in amazing original condition and that is very rare. Yes they will be other mk1s but will they be in as good original condition.

omg, i meen i like my burner's but i would never pay £730 for one!

[ghostriderx]

that's crazy money for sure ....so how much did a new tuff burner originally cost bitd?

[jimwise68]

cheap for an icon methinks! 

I doubt there are many MK1 Tuff Burners in the country that are in the box still. So I'd imagine it is very rare. Would have loved it to have gone for more than a Ripper! PMSL

As I've said many times before, IMO these are the next fashionable bike and are gonna push the Raleigh Chopper off of its pedestal.

I know this may be a bit controversial, and don't get me wrong I do like some burners (ie the pro's and Aero Pro's) but I look at what is happening as being similar to the Chopper scene a couple of years ago. You couldn't touch those things without dumping huge amounts of money down, now I'm not so sure the popularity has lasted.

My guess is there'll be far more os bmx's including burners ridden around the festivals and bug jams etc this year than choppers!!

[theRuler]

that's because choppers ride like shit!

[jimwise68]

that's because choppers ride like shit!

They ride better with Tuffs!

that's because choppers ride like shit!

And Burners don't?    At least you could wheelie a Chopper 

Frosty you are right about the Chopper scene, my mate that owns the machine shop built a couple a few years ago, paying ludicrous amounts of money for stuff like the seats, gear levers and so on.  He sold them about a year ago and lost a heap of money and has now been selling his parts stash on eGay and is practically giving it away as no-one seems to want them  .  It's all fashion, it comes and goes and comes back again like a virtuous circle  .

[theRuler]

choppers were trendy in the early to mid nineties. just as a "retro" thing.

the bmx thing is much deeper. i don't think old school bmx's will ever really be fashionable

and when the burner bubble bursts, the old school bmx scene will still continue on

[magna13]

that's crazy money for sure ....so how much did a new tuff burner originally cost bitd?

when they were new, i think they cost either £139 or £159

[madall]

Bombers are better than all that shite for wheelies

[Dark Diggler]

This wheelies really well, Going cheap on the bay too, The seller has told me that the first £700 can have it (apparently it will come in a brown paper bag-discretion assured  )

[Zippy]

I think this will explain Julian paying that price. I have to say if I had to have that to complete my collection I'd have paid that too.

Here you go. I love that cruiser.
