Welcome to Welly. It gets warmer.

Why? Thats the price for most CBR's and ZXR's in good condition these days. Older models wither higher Kms go for the same in bike shops.

[JimO]

maby thats right but only because its a 250 for 5 and a half large i would expect a newer 750

[vtec]

So you are welcome to buy your nice new 750 for $5.5g, but these are the best overall learner bikes out there, hence the price. I know of at least one that was sold for over $7g. Best of luck.

them any less of a rip off.

if the 250cc limit was dropped to 150 or gotten rid of completly the price of 250s would half when the 250 limit was brought in the 250s of the day bore no resemblance to the 250 that are about today. back last century you could ride any size bike you wanted i started with a ts 185 suzuki trail bike but i new people with GT 380 suzys and one bloke had a 750 waterbus:doobey:

here is a prime example a 98 CBR400RR at Shaw motorcycles with 29000ks $5995.00:wait: :wait: so how can a 92 250 be worth almost the same as this

The unfortunate thing called supply and demand.

Hell if I had that much money at the moment, I know I'll be giving him a ring to have a look at the bike... Need a faster bike, and more fairing around me to keep the nature away...

[bobsmith]

Damn it I just realised I might have the money except that I realised that it's in Timaru!!! It sounded a lot better when I thought it was in wellington.

[edit - any chance of pics???]

[MattRSK]

I think its a bloody good deal. I would have bought it 6 months ago. Damn. Maybe if I sell my shitbox Subaru.

[bobsmith]

I wish I was in auckland these days, I'll be able to choose between so many more bikes... Good luck with the sale, and if you ever feel like bringing it up to wellington and selling it there, give me a yell, I'll definately come around and have a look if I haven't found a new bike by then.

[JimO]

do yourself a favour and buy the 400 at Shaw motorcycles

[bobsmith]

Sorry no offence, but did you miss the whole - I'm on stupid learner's and can't get anything bigger than 250 and will pay outrageously high prices on 250s...

[SirRacer]

bring it up to welly as there are very few 250's for sale here

yet another reason why i'm still considering whether to go to a 250 after my 170, or just something in the 'cheaper/bigger' price range..

[bobsmith]

I don't see why anyone would buy a 250 in NZ unless they had to... Hell I know if I had my full I would be getting a 400 or something that's cheaper than a 250... I decided I can't wait a year and a half though..... Just got a call back from bank too saying the loan is approved!!! Yeah! now I have to go find myself a new bike....

I'm gonna be saving money till the end of the year (from next week), and with the sale of my bike, should be able to get myself something 'quite a bit better' than what i've got at the moment..
If you're getting a bigger bike than your licence 'allows', HP might not be the best option, cause if the bike gets wrecked/stolen etc, Mr. Insurance might decide 'you don't deserve any of my money cause you're not on a full licence' and then you'd be in uber-debt as opposed to just being bike-less..

[bobsmith]

Agreed. I have no intention of gett a bigger than 250 bike especially seeing how often I get pulled over (even when I didn't do anything wrong, they just always pull me over to check my licence, etc.... grrrr)

I was under the impression that you had your full that's all.

[ZeroIndex]

especially seeing how often I get pulled over (even when I didn't do anything wrong, they just always pull me over to check my licence, etc.... grrrr)
remind me to never go to palmy..

Hees a wee pic for those who are interested. And thanks to those of you who actually HAVE A CLUE about the value of solid 250cc bikes. it simple supply and demand. like i said, go to a big shop and pay up to 7or 8 grand for one with more k's than this. :yes:

Aint that the truth, Great deal here. Honest all you newbies looking for a bike to get. This is the one I swear by it.:rockon:

[imdying]

Wow, 7-8 grand! I remember when a mate brought a (92 or 93?) blue n white gull arm from Pacific Motorcycles (how long ago was that!) for $6k with 6000kms on the clock!

Haha they were probably still making them back then. Huge gap in the market now. Wish I could by a 2006 CBR 250. Dreams are free.

[imdying]

Oh yeah.... 60-70hp, 25000rpm, 140kgs... sigh.

I heard kawasaki is doing a new ninja 250r... I had a look at their website and not impressed though... the thread is here:

from what i could tell, even the hyosung is better.. they're pretty much the same price, except the 250ninja still looks like the 'very old' 250ninja, and what's with inline twin? what happened to the screaming 4's?

[imdying]

But have you ever seen the finish on a Hyosung?? What's with the panel fit? I thought maybe the ones in NZ are total and utter shite, but no, after looking on bikepics.com they're all like that. Don't think I could trust the rest of the bike after seeing how shitty the fit of the body work is!

/edit: Fairs fair though, they're brand spankers for the price of a worked over cbr250!

Yeah, Ninja == Screamin IL4
That's actually a lameass GPX250, they've rebadged it ninja to sell more, but in effect they are watering down the ninja name quite substantially, a bad move in my opinion. I don't trust Korean or Chinese stuff yet, although I have heard good things as well as bad about the Hyobags.

by newer you expect a 02gsxr?? good luck buddy. Do your home work and look at market prices.
