Due to a recent unfortunate circumstance I have been left without a usable right hand. Although the prospect of riding my Bandit one handed DOES sound exciting, I question my ability to stop using only my foot brake and gear changes.
So, here is my beautiful Suzuki Slingshot Bandit GSF250.
Bought only a few months ago with only 13000kms on the clock I was lucky enough to add just over 2000 to that count and enjoy every moment of it. Through the thick and thin traffic she has served me well, through the dry and wet she stuck to the road. Even when big R6's growled at her on open road cruises, she screamed like a banshee right back at them and promptly caught up in the corners.
This bike is my first (and certainly not my last), and i would recommend her to anyone who want's a 250 which performs, learner or veteran. Alas my sweet bandit, we have to part. <_<
Pros
-only 15000kms
-45hp model
-Recently serviced (1000km ago) by http://www.motorcycle-doctors.co.nz/
-Kept clean and maintained well
-Option between rear seat OR rear seat cowel, not both.
-Smooth gearbox
-Never dropped
-Naked so IF dropped, no fairings to replace
-Kept in garage
-Current WOF
-Current Rego
Cons
-Sometimes won't start immediately if not run for a few weeks
-Good condition inside and out for it's age
-Rear tyre almost due for replacement, still got a few kms left.
-Choke wire snapped but alternative works well
Call/txt me on 0211020356 to view.
No test rides unless identification provided for security reasons.
Will consider swaps for car/truck/ute w.h.y.
