    1998 Suzuki RG150 ES

    1998 RG150 ES
    New WOF
    Rego to 21/10/07
    24,450k
    Run on repsol full synth and 95 gas
    Does over 200k on a 10L fill (250 once!)

    Location: West Auckland
    Wanted: $2000 ono

    Will offer here for a short time before trademe

    So, I have a full licence and a GSX600f. I would love to keep the RG but can't afford to run two bikes. I think it is the perfect learner, esp. if you want to move to sports bikes or tourers. Excellent commuter. I have used it every day on a 40k commute, half on the SH16. Happy to trickle in traffic with 3 thou revs on the clock, but can accelerate with pretty much any sports 250s like CBRs etc out there (forget about GNs). On motorway 100k = 8 thou in 6th gr leaving you with plenty of grunt up to (so I hear) 180k tops. Great agile bike, fun on scenic drive and the twisties.
    Starts first time and no problems.
    Tyres excellent.

    What I have done recently with the bike:
    - Full service by Haldane's with 4000k to the next service (6000k intervals). Haldanes said bike was in excellent condition. $170
    - Brakes bled and filled by Henderson cycles last year $40 - brakes excellent
    - new clutch cable from Haldanes $70
    - new wing mirrors $50
    - chain and teeth plenty of wear left

    Basically the bike is ready to buy and ride.

    Cosmetically bike bears the marks of a learner bike of this age with few minor scrapes. Overall it looks great and I will really miss it when it goes. Would keep it but ambitions to do long distance 2-up touring on the GSX.
