Original CBR250RR - Just picked up a MINT one. Part 2

[.produKt]

Well here goes again. This time, this bike i was lucky. (citing previous picked up a mint one thread here (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/115803-REPSOL-CBR250RR-Just-picked-up-a-mint-one!))
Thursday last week i picked up a VERY V E R Y Tidy CBR250rr.
36,000km
Original fairings (ie, no weld marks or anything)
Orig tank (has identical paint scheme to the rest, no marks and the original sticker in Japanese)
Same with the windscreen.
Michelin Pilots f&r

Came with an immaculate service history with receipts for things like:
Headstock bearings, New Michelin pilots, Carb balancing, wheel bearings, comprehensive service, new clutch etc etc the list goes on.

Picked it up from Dunedin about 6pm. Rode to Oamaru and stayed the night.
Left Friday mid morning to ride back to chch.
Saw a lot of you buggers going to this rally thing in Waimate. Easily more than 100 bikers\trikers. Nice

Pics attached

Really loving the bike. It's a totally mad rev happy lunatic :shifty:

[vifferman]

Oh noes! Don't feed it V - it'll become even more rev-happy and lunatico!

[.produKt]

lol! The V was for me. The bike got a full tank of 98. ;) V equivalent I guess.

So happy to be back on a quick set of 2 wheels. Has mad me realize just how slow the madass was :P

Try and keep this one more pristine. These things could become more collectable in the future....

[del-solider]

As said above please please try keep this one alive and im sure itll treat you to many a good ride:Punk:

Yea; About that...

I really wanted to put the t8 style Tyga fairings on it and a wicked paintjob to boot.

We'll see. I had always thought it'd be worth more with updated looks. Not that it looks old as it's a timeless bike :) (i think)

If you do that, hold onto the original fairings. It'll be worth a lot more with the original fairings when you go to sell it (shows that it hasn't been crashed...)

That is very rare. To find a 20(ish) year old 250 without even weld marks.
I doubt it will be worth much more with aftermarket fairings (compared to what you'll spend on them).

Definitely keep the originals though and when it comes time to sell swap them and sell aftermarkets separetly.

Yea, i thought it was a rare find.
And i guess the fact of the matter is, that they could have been replaced. Who knows

All i know is that It's had 1 drop and the scuff marks on the fairings are light and a small crack around the left indicator.
Tank and windscreen have those original and rather faded Japanese safety first stickers or whatever.
No plastic welding anywhere to be seen (and yes, i checked thoroughly) and overall it is mint.

Really can't fault it and i don't blame forum members for being skeptics.

[Jonno.]

Well at least you have the fairings. Def a nice scheme :niceone:

Nice bike. If you don't want to fuck up your helmet, put it on the ground - then it can't fall any further.

Funnily enough, that was the first thing I thought of too...

Bike looks great - enjoy!

That's a bit like saying 'Give up motorcyclcing' - Aww hell no. Too much fun and it's a lifestyle far removed from sitting behind a windscreen looking out at the world, rather than being part of it.

[The Everlasting]

Sweet looking bike..:)

He meant literally take your helmet off of the seat.

More pics.
Drool

And stupid boy racers trying to drag race me in town tonight. i was just on my way home from work ffs, not being an anti social road user lol

[Lurch]

My god has that bike actually been used? It looks way too mint.

Either you gave it one hell of a detailing or that bike has been loved like a child.

[EJK]

Fuck that's m.i.n.t.

[The Pastor]

hey nice bike, if you want a bit more power, lighter weight, really good looks, and the most amazing sound on any modern bike - im selling a complete exhaust system for a mc22. Best money you can spend on the bike :)

[.produKt]

Yes, bike has been babied. Completely.
Oh how quickly looks change when one does not have a garage :S (working on that)

renegade :)
The last CBR i fucked has a full stainless steel extractor system on it, is this similar? Pm me :)

[phoenixgtr]

Fuck that's m.i.n.t.

Much In Need of Thrashing?

Very tidy CBR mate
