Don't knock it mate - with the weather we've been having recently we've moved the family into the play house coz of all the leaks in the house.

Took me 17 minutes to assemble which is about twice the amount of time it takes to build a 3 bedroom apartment in Dannemora.

We need to keep the playhouse in case it keeps raining but thanks for the interest - glad you're finally considering an upgrade from your gixxer.

What do you fellas think? Should I leave it on retardeme as a classified ($6,000 ono) or should I stick it on as an Auction...$5,500 start and reserve.

the reason I ask is no one has called yet - will leave it a couple of weeks before changing though.

What's the rush, need the cash that badly?

If you ask very politely, my humble opinion is that at $6000 it's not going to sell fast, being a private VTR250 on TradeMe - they can be found at dealers for $5995. Granted that would be a 1998 ish model where yours is a 2003... but they don't look any different to the uninitiated. Okay, I know yours is a beautiful example, and I'd quite like it myself... but you know what I mean. If you're looking for a speedier sale you might have to sell it for a touch less. Or put the price at $5995 and pretend you're a dealer?

Good luck with the sale either way, personally I think $6k is a very fair ask for an 03.

I always get better responses from auctions then classifieds...don't know why.

Cheers for the insight. Not in a hurry to sell just thought I'd have had a couple of enquiries s'all - don't sit my full until 4th May but if it sells I'll use the wife's RG150 to comute. I'm asking $6K in the knowledge I'll get knocked down to $5,500.

I've heard that you and your missus are very happy with your GPXs.

I did have a look at it on 'tardme - all that white stuff on the ground is a bit suspect though....you must really love that Gixxer!

Once I've got my full licence I'l be taking a few bikes for test rides - you might have sold and be on OE by that time.
