Ok....
I've got my full test in 3 weeks, so this maybe a bit premature, but obviously I'm keen to upgrade as soon as I can post the test (assuming I pass !! :mellow:). I also wanted to gauge what the market is like etc..
So, a 2008 (October) GT250, bought from Mount Eden Motorcycles, in Red, in excellent condition.
It's had its 1k, 4k, and about to have it's 8k service (currently at 7500km). (all done by Hyo dealers, so warranty still good :) )
The bike is absolutally mint, and has been very well looked after. I've loved this bike, and really chuffed I went for this than one of the many other 250's out there... the size of this bike has meant that when I've climbed aboard bigger bikes, they don't feel intimiating !
The bike has been involved in one minor accident, which resulted in small amounts of damage down the right hand side, all of which has been repaired fully at the expense of the other persons insurance (no, really it wasn't my fault ! :) ), so this meant new Muffler, New mirror, New front wheel, new front forks.
Costs about $22 to fill the 17 Litre tank, and that's currently getting me about 400km's which is excellent (a mixture of motorway and city riding, commuting from Torbay).
The bike is still being used, but I really don't see the K's going much about 8000...
There is no finance on the bike as I purchased it outright.
WOF till October, Rego till October
Hyo's have a 2 year warrenty, as long as the service intervals are maintained.
Extras..
Ok, I got a new super dooper (can't remember the brand but paid for the "premium" one) battery about a month ago, after I'd left the lights on a few too many times.
Ventura Pack Rack.
Any questions... go for it ! :)
