*edit* i've removed the auction, after a tune it goes like stink and i had second thoughts.
hey guys, just trying to get as much attention to this as possible cos i really need the money more than the bike sadly.
current WOF and rego till end of april, needs fork seal done on left, plus a couple other things. newish tires, got a chain and new sprockets waiting to go on too.
helluva deal, help a fellow biker out!!

Seriously cool bike bro.
Best of luck for the sale - if I win lotto so I can quit my job and just work on bikes for the rest of my life. Yours would be the first one on the list.
Its always a bitch, you either have time or money.......and that now lotto just means I would have the time.

ain't that the truth. but she's been a year in the making and i'm planning on heading overseas for a bit so need the money more than anything, i'd love to build bikes like that for a living too. maybe some cooler bases to work with, but its not a bad start..X-)

thanks, any chance you'd want to buy it? :D
please pass the word around if you don't mind, the only engine issue currently is the tappets which will be sorted by the end of the week, with a proper tune its gonna go pretty damn well. already stripped a load of weight off it.

I had a knocking noise in mine too, i had to get the rockers reground bout two or three times. Brian Kitney does the reginds fairly cheap ....... Well he did bout 15 years ago anyway :yes:

i've actually been talking to a couple of guys who between them have owned a bunch and apparently the noise isn't actually serious. ah well.
basically i'm in the red by about $400, thats what i need, but i'd also like to make a little back towards what i've spent on the bike. in total it was about $800. i do want to get a 125-250cc dual purpose though, i've got some nice wheels to make a motard.
it actually handles really well, i'm looking forward to getting the seals done on the forks cos its a bit squishy in the front, but its suprisingly nimble for a GN.

:gob:
If you can, persevere with your GN, it's definitely a fair price considering what others are wanting, like the above 'streetfighter', wall of shame material? :sick:

i've just cleaned the jets and put on new chain and sprockets, bolted down the seat and made a proper seat pad. fucking hell it goes now, can't believe it, for a GN250!! i've removed my auction. i'm keeping this for a while, maybe even ride it to the boxing day races in wanganui.
cheers for the kind words, and yes i fucking HATE that 'streetfighter', i'm on customfighters.com and used to have a gsxr750 slabside 'fighter and when i told that guy its not a streetfighter he got abusive. what a dick. ah well, i seriously doubt he'll sell it at that price!!
i'll keep you guys up to date with this thing, its turning out to be pretty fun for a 25bhp scooter...

Sorry for the thread dig, but I can't send p.m's yet.
n0regret5, what kind of cafe tail fairing you got on there? Is it custom or from a fairing kit?
