Help with first bike?

[Asher]

Hi there
Im new to motorbikes and plan on buy one soon but im not too sure what bikes to go for and what to stay away from.
Basically what i want is something with a bit of power as i plan on using it to commute from the country into the city and also for abit of fun in the weekends.
From my limited research i have done i have figured i would prefer something with a 4 stroke 4 cylinder and something from the early 90's
So basically i have been looking at ZXR's, FZR's, CBR's and GSX's, and out of those i have been looking more at the FZR's and GSX's as they seem cheaper than the others.
Is there any other bikes that i should be looking at?

Also is there any good ways to tell if a bikes odo has been wound back?

Thanks.

Get life, trauma, and disability insurance and sign up for Southern Cross before you get your license.

[mossy1200]

bandit 250 144kg 38hp inline 4 maybe

idd be getting compression tests on the late 80s early 90s sports bikes if you can alot have been well hammered.

general wear and tear of chains sprockets swinger bearings etc will tell you how well looked after they were.A poor maintened 250 costs a bit to get up to scratch so maybe spend a little more on one than go to cheap.

add 430 for plate rego 6months and 6months warrent and check that its got correct paperwork and police no interest cert aswell

[Asher]

Great idea about health etc insurance before i get my license!

I actually was looking at that 89 GSX250R which is why i asked about checking the odo.

thanks for the help

On ya. It gets harder to get and more expensive to maintain after that class 6 endorsement.

[mossy1200]

Its already been nz rego so you just need go police station and get letter of no interest(theft)from them which is free.
Also it didnt need brake declaration done as its pre89 but at least you know the discs are above min wear now.

Allow the $430 and a tune up cost etc maybe $300 for jets and tune and change oil and filter so its really a 3K bike on the road.
Idd still try get someone to check it for you to make sure its sound in the motor and the speedo indicated prob isnt correct

That's a brilliant deal :niceone:
I'd try get an MC19 CBR250R or 3LN3 FZR250 because they're great value for a 4cyl 250.

welcome to KB - be careful not to feed the trolls.
Its good that you have some idea of the style of bike you want, but there is still plenty of variety with the 4 cylinder 250 scope - Yamaha Zeal, the Bandit, the Hornet, a ZZR.....
Most people generally regard the cbr 250 as being the superior bike of the bunch you mentioned, due to them usually surviving longer kms etc, but they are all much of a muchness.
If you really want to buy a 20 year old 250 with a 19-20,000 rpm redline, what you need to be looking for are sings of good maintenance, any receipts or service paperwork would be a bonus.

My advice to you is to try and take a few different bikes for a ride if you can before you hand over any cash - you might find that the bikes you like dont suit you after having tried them out - (always wanted a tl, until I rode one - not my cup of tea).

Also, if you can take someone with you to look at the thing, Im sure you could talk a local KBer into helping you out for payment of beer to make sure the bike is in good nick.

as for the KMs, you can Carjam the rego of the bike, and that will give you some indication as to whether the KMs are legit or not.

when you buy something make sure you post pics!

[Asher]

So would you guys consider the gsx as a good buy?
Would it need a tune as it has done such low km's or just as its been sitting so long?

What exactly is the need for a police cert? do i need it to get re-reg'd or simply a piece of mind?

thanks again.

[ducatilover]

The CBR250R is a much better deal and is a better bike in every way.
The carbs on that GSXR may just need a simple clean from fuel varnishing the jets after sitting for some time.

just take the plate number and chasis number if he will give it to you to the local station and ask for declaration of no interest.Its free and you take that when you go to get plate/warrent/rego at vtnz which is basically same as getting warrent and rego but with 110 extra dollars for the plate(memory on that cost only).Bikes pre 91 dont need the brake declaration but take it also.You cant get less than 6months rego if getting new plates so 430 all up is about correct.The carbs will be fulla crap from sitting jets blocked and floats may need cleaned and set etc.$300 at a good bike shop should cover it.And $60 for some bike oil and $15 for a filter.
Remember dont buy it based on desire get someone into bikes that you can trust to help you out.

[Ender EnZed]

I wouldn't even bother looking at it. It's a project, not a bike you should expect to be able to ride home.


The CBR250R is a much better deal and is a better bike in every way.

+1

[tigertim20]

think it through.
The GSXR is 2400, plus at LEAST $450 to get it legal again, more if it needs say a new tyre ($200) or chain and sprockets ($250 ish) etc, theres no way to know for sure until you put it through, plus theres a lot of hassle.
So youre looking at bare minimum of $2850 for a legal bike, plus a bit of hassle and mucking around.

option two, spend an extra 150 and buy the ZXR, and you are legal from day dot. youll need to pay rego, and probably a new tyre by the sounds of it, but tyres are consumable anyway.

option three, cost the same as option two, except that it has both rego and WOF that are current, it comes with a bunch of riding gear, and you can get on it and ride it away. - its or near offer, so you might cut the price down a tad too.

For me, it would be the CBR hands down.
The GSXR could be a money pit, and you have no way to know until you start the vin process, the ZXR seems quite good, but needs a tyre and rego, the honda is ride away with extras.

Buy the CBR.

[Asher]

thanks for the input.
The main reason i was looking at the gsxr was its low km's which i figure it shouldnt require any major work for at least 15k+km's and im not bothered about paying for new reg and wof as basically any bike im looking at would require that within a couple of months.

[Asher]

also i just need to get my head around something, will i need to a letter of no interest from the cops if it has been registered in nz before and the rego has simply lapsed?

[mossy1200]

also i just need to get my head around something, will i need to a letter of no interest from the cops if it has been registered in nz before and the rego has simply lapsed?

yes any vehicle rego lapsed needs it incase it was stolen etc.The rego lapse will mean it get new plate number.

be aware the 2600km from japan could mean anything.Documents get changed clocks get wound back etc.It just seems to good to be true .You really need someone to help you judge estimated kms etc.At so said 5k now the bike would still be on original tyres unless replaced due to rubber cracking from age.
The cbr is good deal also and its likely to have a honest background.

The gsxr looks original paint and cosmetic low kms travelled but its a guess job to true history thats why idd encourage compression test,inspection of swingarm linkages and even rust in radiator system.You need help to protect you from a bad investment on it.

[Asher]

cool thanks for your help
i plan on looking at it this week and i will take a friend with me to help check it over.

[neels]

also i just need to get my head around something, will i need to a letter of no interest from the cops if it has been registered in nz before and the rego has simply lapsed?
If there are papers to go with it, and you get a receipt from the legal owner, you shouldn't need this. If it's just got a plate on the back, and no other paperwork you probably will.

How soon are you after a bike? May have a cheap GSXR250 for sale soon, not in mint condition but a good runner, and legal and ready to ride away. Once my son has his restricted he's going to flick it, even comes with most of a spare bike....

[tigertim20]

Such low KMs on such an old bike can come with other issues too. good bet it sat in a shed by the wharf in Japan for 10-15 years around the salt water. I have seen notched steering hear bearings on bikes that have sat on one spot for several years and not moved.
You seem really interested in this thing for some reason, and if its what you insist on going for it, I suggest doing a really thorough check on it before buying it - bikes that need to be re regod often require a fuck load of work that you dont notice until you try to get it on the road

also i just need to get my head around something, will i need to a letter of no interest from the cops if it has been registered in nz before and the rego has simply lapsed?

if you want to re rego a bike that has lapsed registration, yes, you need to prove that the police are not interested in the vehicle.
when you revin you basically need three things
proof you own it - a receipt of sale
proof the cops arent interested in it - been explained, take the last known rego to them and they will give you a from to take to the people who do the Vinning
proof that the vehicle has been registered before in New Zealand. if it still has an old plate or rego sticker with it, that will do.

[mossy1200]

I have put 6 bikes back on the road.None have been low km imports and most have been used then droped and suffered minor damage the owner couldnt be bothered fixing so they sat and rego lapsed.Eg one damaged tank,broken clip on,broken footpeg and headlight(honda price parts $1200 my price convert headlight both pegs,paint tank set of second hand trump clipons $200.What i did know was the reason for rego lapse and also had a good idea of costs to return to road.If your mate isnt good with bikes its pointless taking him.You need abike mechanic or super handy bike rider to check it.If not buy THE DEVIL YOU KNOW NOT THE DEVIL YOU DONT.
The cbr with gear is a great bike if you dont have ability to access gsxr.

New rego and plates Based on the bikes i have done if rego lapsed

pre 91 no brake declaration required.91 onwards brake declaration required by competant person(does not need be bike shop).I did my own .I measured the discs,recorded my results ,listed the min disc width with reference to where information came from.I did this after using bike shop first 2 times until shop owner said do it yourself next time.

Declaration of no interest is required.Police have the forms.Phone vtnz and ask they will confirm.Police will require rego or chasis number.They will complete forms and sign it for you free and you take it with you.It takes 5mins they just check its not on a list for stolen vehicles.

The old ownership papers mean nothing 12 months after rego is lapsed.New plates,New ownership papers and you become the only owner of vehicle on paper with that plate number.

If its never had vin plate it gets harder but this gsxr has one.

[Asher]

cool i think i understand all i need as to get it re-rego'ed
the only thing that really interests me about the gsx is its low km's, as i assumed would make it more hassle free although i get that it sitting around isnt good for it either.
When i look at it i will just have to try and be as thorough and objective as i can and if it doesnt look right i can check out that cbr

[Ender EnZed]

After 23 years they mean fuck all.

That GSXR looks a lot more like a money pit than the other two bikes you linked.

+1.
The GSXR would be a good racebike candidate IMO, but Id definitely place the cbr over the others based on current information

Chances are, if it has a genuine 5000km, it won't last much longer.
It will have had cold riding, no real long rides to get the shit out of the engine and everything to wear correctly.
Cold running an engine reduces the life hugely.
Expect rusted bores if it has sat for long periods (like it has)
As TTim mentioned, headstem bearings, wheel bearings, all the fluids will be shit, the brake pads, the tyres, the fork seals and bushings, as with the rear shock, most of it will be brittle form no use.
No good for the engine bearings either the cold running and/or lack of frequent use.

I'd avoid it myself, just from my experience of "mint" low km Jap imported 250s

The CBR are known to be the most reliable 4cyl 250 (and one of the most reliable in general) and have a solid parts base here in NZ.

[Asher]

Hmmm, well im definitely glad i joined these forums.
I will still go check it out and try and be thorough but i will get in contact with the guy who owns the CBR too so if the gsx looks like too much trouble i will go for that or at least check it out

[Asher]

How much would you guys think it would cost to get this back on the road?

Or would it be easier to go for this?

I am going to check out that gsxr tomorrow and the guy selling the cbr isnt answering my emails :weep: , i will update you guys on that the gsxr is like

[mossy1200]

bike A ,good tyre $230 good battery $140.plus rego .Ask for bike at 2500 and dont take blue glow worms

Try get bike B ,for 2800 to 3k tell him hes a little above the average private sale price and very close to a dealership price which would include some comeback on faults.

[Asher]

^^^ Thanks!

+1, bike B is asking too much. - also, what evidence do you have of the actual KMs, and condition of the new engine it has had put in it?

[mossy1200]

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbikes/motorbikes/sports/auction-448793794.htm

get onto this quick just listed today

Try your luck at 2200 since its got some fairing damage

[Asher]

So i checked the gsxr out earlier and have decided against it. For it having done 5k it had a lot of stone chips and the fairings werent in as good condition as i would expect. It didnt start, the guy said he has ridden it but it quickly looses power and dies, he seemed to think it was due to a dirty carb and it running on 5 year old fuel but i dont think its worth the risk.

But when i was talking to the guy he gave me the details of a guy who was wanting to trade his 88 cbrr hurricane for it.
The bike has done 27k has pretty rough fairings but he only wants 2300 for it

[Asher]

I also got hold of that red 89 zxr and the guy said he didnt have the reciepts for the newer engine as he brought it off someone who was selling it off their brother that gone overseas but he did comment that the new engine had a built in fan (would anyone be able to guess what year engine it is?).

I also got hold of the guy selling the 89cbr and he had just sold it :(

As for that 92 zxr with the damaged fairings, are there any good places to get new fairings from that doesnt cost as much as www.raceevolution.co.nz?
or is that cheap? i really have no idea.

do a thread search about raceevolution before spending any money with them.
What damage has been done to the fairings exactly? is it just a few cracks etc? if so that can be fixed quite easily. There is a guy on here called Hayd3n who is a fantastic plastics fabricator and does fuckin amazing work on damaged fairings - you wouldnt beleive some of the stuff I have seen him repair, and I have had him do a number of custom jobs for me - he also works for Bourbon, all ya gotta do is send him your broken stuff.
Then you contact Crazefox on here, and get him to do any painting they need after repairs. many people on here have used him, and wil vouch for his work - I have not personally used him, but a large number of people on here rave about the quality of his work, and he does it pretty fuking cheaply

end of the day though, you are obviously on a budget at the momment, get a bike that is legal, safe, and running well, and then you can save up and do the little fix up cosmetic shit as you go later on - you mgiht even decide to get a custom paint job done!

The kit thats on it is raceevolution already but its trashed.599 is unpainted extra 199 for colour with decals and theres alot of different options.thats why idd start at 2200 only add 800 for kit.

Im not how bad you would consider that but it looks pretty bad to me but yeah i wouldnt have an issue riding it like that.

The only good about using that website is they have full factory decals

but anyway im going to check it out tomorrow arvo and might make an offer if it seems legit

[ducatilover]

If that ZXR250c checks out mech fine, seriously contact Hayd3n on here, people keep telling me how excellent and well priced he is. the damage doesn't look too bad in the pics, I'd say I've fixed worse myself.

I have never heard of a single person be unhappy with what he has done for them. he enjoys his job, hence why he does the repairs for bourbon outside of work hours. He did some work on Drunkenmistakes bike last night actually.

[Asher]

I ended up buying the 92 zxr250 which im pretty happy with, the engine was really smooth, sounded great and had heaps of power.

257669257670257671257672

Here are some better pics of the fairings, do they look fixable? he still has the bits that had broken off.

hey congrats! - I am sending you a PM - check your inbox
yes that looks fixable, if he still has the pieces then thats even better!

[ducatilover]

Grouse bike mate!
Looks fixable to me (as I said, have done worse)
Treat it nicely, google how to do the camchain tensioner if you ever hear the engine rattle. (or PM me)

[Asher]

Thanks everyone for the help.

Buutttt, the guy is starting to really fuck me around, when i meet him he said i could have the bike straight away he just need to fit another tank on it that has just been painted that matches the fairings. Now hes saying i cant have it for another 10 days and is becoming a real hassle to get hold of, 2 word text replies or not replying to texts, emails or doesnt answer the phone so im getting close to telling him where he can shove the bike.

So im still looking at other bikes, would i be an idiot to buy a RGV250? There is 2 that have been on trademe for awhile and 1 has had a recent engine rebuild (http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbikes/motorbikes/sports/auction-449156254.htm) and this one which i would have thought to be quite high km's for a 2stroke? (http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbikes/motorbikes/sports/auction-448165264.htm)

Otherwise there is still a few zxrs i can look at.

[ducatilover]

Bugger to hear about that mate.

The first RGV is a joke, the owner knows nothing about it (there's a thread on it, a bloody good laugh) that second one however, looks grouse.
I'd avoid the first one.

The RGV is faster and better handling than any 4 stroke 250 you can buy.
They do require maintenance, but in all honesty, they're not that expensive to rebuild, especially if you compare with a 4 stroke 250.

[Asher]

Yup he just text me saying he mixed me up with someone else looking at the bike and sold to them so im still looking

Was he the guy that said he had power band fitted it? lol

So at a first look the 2nd one doesnt seem like something i should avoid?

That''s the guy :yes:
Hard to say without checking it over, but with all the service history the engine should be happy.

[Asher]

Anyone have the link to the thread?
I just checked out that black Rgv and it had a bit of an issue you guys might help with.
When I rode it lagged through 6 to 7.5k rpm and had a noticeable change in engine noise but had power before it and heaps after.
The dude said he had never noticed it and maybe it was because it had been sitting for a few weeks

[jaffaonajappa]

Ride it over 7500 rpm. Only.

Fixed.

[mossy1200]

could be any number of things ranging from plug all the way through carby issues up to electrics.Very hard to tell unless you get it checked out.im not sure i would be over keen on a 50km 2 stroke .To many people own and neglect them am ride hard all the time.
Tell the guy you want to get a bike shops opinion before buying.

[Asher]

Done a bit of searching and it seems like its a common problem with the rgv, seems like it is most like an issue with the power valves.
If the guy is unable to find the problem im not going to bother with it.

Also is there anything known to be wrong with this rgv (http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbikes/motorbikes/sports/auction-449156254.htm) (owned by the idiot) or has he fucked it?

I sent a email to this gsxr (http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbikes/motorbikes/sports/auction-434412128.htm) asking if they will let it go for $3000 (its asking for $4000 but its been listed for 3 months)

There is also this 91 rgv (http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbikes/motorbikes/sports/auction-445937204.htm) in Porirua, which looks like it would be worth the trip up and ride it back.

And finally this 89 ZXR (http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.asp?id=439674145) which the owner is meant to get hold of me about it sunday night.

I never thought it would be this much trouble trying to find a bike

[mossy1200]

[QUOTE=Asher;1130261450]Done a bit of searching and it seems like its a common problem with the rgv, seems like it is most like an issue with the power valves.

the 89 zxr looks like the pick of that bunch.I had the 400zxr a while back so im kinda favouring zxrs.im not sure the Porirua rgv is worth coming up for to be honest im sure I have seen this on tard me a few times over the last few years.

Cheap first bike option would return a profit later when you find a keeper and less risk than 3k for the first few months.Then you could upgrade when Lams laws take effect for a bigger bike.

[Asher]

I ended up making an offer on that black and yellow 93 RGV. I took it for a test ride and the thing blew me away with how fast it was.
Im talking to him later tonight to see if he has accepted the offer.

*and done, $3000 + new WOF. Im really stoked with it, it was in really good condition and turns out it only done around 20k and had alot of work around 5k's ago

[Ender EnZed]

Would now be a good time to link you to this thread (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/145532-2-stroke-engine-also-fitted-with-a-power-band?highlight=red+power+band)?

That GSXRR looks really nice
But i picked the RGV on Monday. Had an issue with it cutting out and dieing at speeds over 80kmh but it turned out to be an aftermarket filter installed between the tank and the carbs restricting the fuel.
But holy hell she goes like theres no tomorrow!

At least you have taken advise, and done some reserch, so you are already better to own this RGV than the previous owner.

Now, may I suggest you do a few corses and get to learn how to ride it to get the best out of it.....

Cheers
