Anyone have any opinions of this -> http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Motorbikes/Sports/auction-264414180.htm

Good/Bad?

[James Deuce]

It's not an RGV it's a TV. What's your definition of good and bad?

[Scotty595]

Well... I know its not gonna be cheap to maintain. Wouldn't really know how to define good/bad for a bike actually. Mainly just after peoples opinions of it.

Has anyone rid one and know what they handle like/go like etc?

[James Deuce]

They go like a VJ21 (RGV250) with no fairing and high bars - rat up a drain pipe, but relatively comfy.

At 56,000kms it's on it's way to its 3rd top end rebuild. The front brake rotor has been replaced at some point and the advert gives some clues that the current owner has tried to look after it, but just found out he's up for new pistons and a crank job (pure conjecture, but I've seen this sort of ad before). It's been crashed a bit too. Lots of little lie downs rather than a big un, hence the respray and scarred mufflers.

Cheers. Yeah was looking a bit suspicious to me with the new paint, scraped muffler, new brake disc etc. I've had enough of shit bikes so will stay away at the moment :s

[James Deuce]

Good call! Now we know your definition of good and bad too.

[Scotty595]

Excellent!
