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. For 2600 I will throw in 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.

Has new Warrent and 3 months rego Just put on (end of octoberish) 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 she does about 5ltrs per 100ks so very economical.

Have a couple of spare parts to go with it... Tank + CDI and some inlet rubbers

Let me know if your interested.
Bike is in Taupo.

So got my full And withen the next week the bike will be on Trade me. Just sorting out a few issues its been having.....

So just to fill u in the bike snapped the speedo cable 30 mins b4 the licence so borrowed a GN250 to sit the test.... Wow was I supprised Ive only ever ridden my bike so was quite supprised with the lack of power on the GN I weigh a little over 100kgs at the moment and on my bike lets just say 150+ is Possible and reasonably quick to get there.... Th GN got me to 100k down hill... JUST...

So once I get the new Speedo Cable on it will be ready for trade me...
