Hey guys. I am new into road biking. I am just looking around at the moment as to what i like.. At the moment, It is a larger frame bike with NO biscuit wheels.
So whether you or someone you know has a cheap 250 sitting around in the garage, Please.. PM me with a price and information etc.
Whether it be a GN250 or a Ninja250, I dont really care. But as i love being around and on bikes.. I would really love one of my own.
Cheers for your time :)

Just using those 2 bikes as an example. Being a larger framed person, I just dont feel safe on them skinny wee tyres..

Old GN250 or SR250 is realistically your only options I feel for that money, even then you're pushing it.
Add another $500 to your budget and you're in much better shape.
And if you don't got any gear, you'll need around $400 minimum for that too.

Got any mechanical know how/can do? Buy my FZR, shes going cheap, don't think it will go for any more than what its at now. I can't be fucked with it, don't want to spend any time or money on it. I'm driving to Welly next weekend so if ya keen we can sort out a price to cover my gas for towing a trailer down there.
