And I am a cheap bastard...Did ya think I bought a new bike? No...Just an old girl off Trademe. Another GPX250 that has live plates, compared to the other one I have with dead plates. Will be keeping the 750 but will also get a GPX road legal as a commuter only...bigger one will become a weekend warrior, and maybe now only in the summer. How much for this bike? $545.45...Told ya I was a chep bastard!

Yep, we live in a second story (1 bedroom) flat and used to have a bike living in the lounge we still have engine parts, tyres and tools living all throughout the house. I like to think of them as furniture!

I posted what i thought about this bike over here http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/102409-STREET-STOCK-250cc-4-stroke-twins?p=1129622124#post1129622124


I was tempted to put in a bid but not being able to view it stopped me. Have a feeling it will require a few hundred to get it back on the road. But if the engine is in good working order than that alone is worth over $500!

well its plates are live, but on hold....and my other GPX has dead plates....so would have cost me $300 alone to revin...I think I did well

Well, picked up the old girl...am going to have fun with it getting it onto the road....First plan of attack is to remove fairings to see how tatty they are...they dont look too good but workable...then swap tyres over from other bike...and also speedo cable.....will be riding it soon...

Thinking of naming it...."King Rat"
