Thought I should offer my bike up on here before Trade me as its not getting enough use of late and am currently looking for a station wagon or SUV so I could be looking at swaps aswell. At this price I will throw in the gear if you need it (I like the idea of getting another bike some time so 3k without the gear) So thats a Helmet, Boots (with some scrapes size 11) a codura Jacket and pants (that have a 360 zip) and gloves which makes this a perfect starter package iam 6'1" and 105 kgs but room in the gear for a bit bigger or smaller...
It’s a 1990 GSXR250 which is an inline 4 cylinder engine these engines put out a lot more power than the newer ones which they put restrictions on in about 91 in Japan. It sits on 120 comfortably in 6th I would recommend 5th or fourth gear for 100kmph and you can definatly loose your lisence if you want. The engine redlines @ 17,000rpm and is designed to be run at the high revs.
I have had the bike for just over 1 year and have had the following done...
New clutch plates
New Front tire
New Spark plugs
New Hand grips
New fork Seals & fork oil
New Choke Cable
New Battery
New Horn
New Front Brake Switch
Replaced Brake fluid
Replaced coils
Replaced intake manifolds
Replaced Petrol Tank (old one has dent in, I still have this)
Replaced Stator
Carbs balanced & valve clearances done
The bike has almost done 70,000k’s and is running fine the only downsides with these bikes is that they like fresh fuel (a few months old and they don’t rev past about 15k) and if it isnt used for a week or two they take a while to start as the fuel in the carbs dry out. Bike does about 5ltrs per 100ks so very economical. Bikes rego is on hold @ present.
Let me know if your interested.
Bike is in Taupo.
