The bike has had a few spills by previous owner/s and resprayed/restored.
Minor quirks the front forks aren't perfect ie. (not noticeable to me) but don't cause any issue going over
the Kaimais or Mangamukas or for getting warrants.

I have had the bike serviced in the last 5000km and it has a previous history at Boyds in Hamilton.

This bike is ideal for the person who should have got there full license already as it is a 250 in a 600 frame.
To tell the truth other than the size of the motor I couldn't see much difference in size between this and the 900.
The rear tire is sporting a healthy looking 180 and the front 130. One of the largest tires I have seen on
any 250.

Has never skipped a beat starting. Has great fuel economy. I just did a round trip to Cape Reinga with a few diversions that cost
me around the $120 for 1200KMs (does that sound good or not ? )


Plenty of photos of the little beast here on Kiwibikers over the last 6 months or so ... check Waikato Tags :p

I clean the bike regularly and oil the chain :)

Has current warrant and rego till December.

No time wasters.

Need a license to ride this and cash to pay for the bike if you so much as scratch it !!!

Will miss it but it has served it's purpose and more ... (that is until my new shiny one arrives)

Awesome bike, sounds very nice as well. Good luck with the sale.
Got any idea of what your "big boy" bike is going to be?
