    Announce Awesome learner, restricted or just cheap, good looking commuter.

    http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=461015839

    Contact 021920112, but not with offensive offers please.

    Up for sale with mixed feelings is my second ever motorbike which has been my pride and joy during my restricted.
    She's been trusty and enjoyable and I still enjoy riding her, but given my new full bike licence I have just purchased a loftier 600cc tourer to pillion my gf on long journeys.

    Well kept and has only carried out 7.5k mainly commuter kms.
    As new standard apart from a screaming demon exhaust which really gives a nice sound & frees her up while giving her more power.
    First year of the NZ new EFI models, which means no carby starting problems & quicker responses (trust me, I had a carby version prior and much prefer this one).
    I hope she will find a good master who will appreciate her as much as I did.
    Service manual, spare keys and history incl.

    Unlike some common rival 250s you may be considering on looks, she doesn't feel or sound like a scooter!!!

    The GT250R comes stock with a 249 cc V-twin engine. The Hyosung V-twin engine was designed in Hamamatsu Japan by a design team consisting of engineers who have previously worked in the research and development teams of Suzuki. Technical features include roller bearing camshafts, two-piece spring dampened bevel silent primary drive gears, dual squelsh combustion chambers; these features were previously confined to racing engines, and in the past have been uneconomical for manufacturers to incorporate into smaller capacity engines for street use. It utilizes a DOHC eight-valve engine configuration.

    The GT250R's recorded fuel consumption is 3.4 L/100 km (83 mpg-imp; 69 mpg-US)[6] in comparison to 4.59 L/100 km (61.5 mpg-imp; 51.2 mpg-US) recorded on the Kawasaki Ninja 250R.
    Non-adjustable 51 mm inverted forks are combined with a twin-spar steel frame to provide improved handling. Stock suspension setting is firm, providing stability through corners. Although commonly found only in larger sized sport bikes, the Hyosung GT250R comes standard with a 300 mm front disc setup using twin-piston calipers. Rear brakes are a single 230 mm disc.

    Older bikes with more mileage are going for more than he is asking.

    Thank you Sir. Infact if I dont sell it for above 5 its more worth me keeping as a first bike for getting into track racing, which Im seriously considering anyway. If I was desperate for quick money Id sell my beloved Gsr600. Watch this space I guess.

    Why not just bucket? Would be a lot more fun than racing a GT250R.

    Out of interest, what exactly constitutes an offensive offer?

    I would say any more than about 10-15% less than the asking price, if you apply the american tipping rule in reverse, if you offer someone a tip less than 10% of the bill you will offend the person and they will probably throw it or something sharp back in your face. So why offer someone up to 50% less than asking price of something they've paid alot of money for and expect not to offend them. That's like a waitress paying you 40% of your bill for her having the so called honour to serve you, good luck with that.
