This is my wee beastie. 1996 Yamaha SRV Renaissa. 250cc V-twin. Always fancied something different to the usual GN's as my mates have them.

Got it just last week and loving it :clap:

One of the guys in the smc is doing just that, will be interesting to see how it turns out.

[BigDave]

Cheers for the comments guys :)

I'd love to see some pics of that cafe racer one sometime. It was the styling of this one that really drew me to it. I'm looking forward to doing a wee photo-shoot with it too.

[NordieBoy]

I like the singles better but that little twin has a lot of potential.

Did you paint the frame black, and where did you get the headlights?

It's a 2007 model so the frame was already black, the lights are the street fighter dominator lights really well made nice looking lights.

OMFG. Why on earth did you put a big 'TYPE R' sticker on your bike.....

cause i wanted too?? simple enough.. my bike! your not riding it, i havnt had complaints everyone love it where i am, .PfffT . lol =P

Who Knows, i might Start Something up and Become Rich Type R Motorcycles! - Who Says "motorcycle cant be Type R lol lol lol

The design of Type R ("R" for "Racing") models was originally focused on race conditions, with an emphasis on minimizing weight, and maximizing performance potential (e.g. engine tuning, suspension set-up). Type R models were first conceived for racetracks - I guess you can Say its Like Bucket Racers,

im putting this on - in replace of it

[headlesschicken]

hate to break it to ya buddy but type R comes from honda :rofl:
as in those ricey integras :laugh:

I personally have a problem with ricers in general :p so seeing it on a bike has just confused me. Nice getting away with speeding past a cop though :pinch: guess he had more important things to worry about...

That character is Kanji(chinese characters used in Japanese) for Oni (demon, ogre, gnome, that sort of monster.) It's cool.

But Type-R??? Ummm it's suppose to be only for Honda and Suzuki is better than Honda so why would you? (No offence Honda riders :innocent::chase:)

I would put sicker like this instead :p

it does 51Km goin downhill with the wind pushing behind me, i felt like a criminal braking the law... i know i almost got a ticket lol

[Slyer]

That is not your bike, you are not funny.

[Alby_Joe]

This is my 250 grasstracker. Same engine as GN250, different bodywork.

[Slyer]

Those bikes are cool! So tiny.
It's interesting how many bikes use that same motor. The DR250, GN250, grasstracker as well as a bunch of cruisers.

[Alby_Joe]

Yea it's quite a slim bike, though me being tall i find the ergonomics of the bike fine. I'll take it for a spin in the sand sometime this holiday, being sort of multi-purpose with the k180's :yes:.

I guess it's about time I post up a picture of my baby. :jerry:

The front fairing will be painted one day... probably next winter. It isn't a problem with me.

Considering a full paint job with ferrari yellow and chrome grills on each air vent within the fairings.

BTW that's my doggie too :D

Nice toenails

Yeah I was going to ask if those were his toenails. Gotta be pretty brave on a biker site to say "here's my doggie" then post pics of the doggie with a fuzzy head-band and the poster with painted toenails. :sweatdrop

[chazza404]

nice, Is that a tail tidy on the first pic or you just cut off the bottom of the original section - it's a bit of a pain as it's all one piece up and around the rear brake light so it's not as simple as unbolting the default one and adding a new one :(

[Howsie]

not fair.. yours is clean >_>

Haha yes mine is clean, its minutely dirty after taking it out on the wet roads on new years.

Whats stopping you from cleaning yours? :P

[Reido]

lazyness...
nah i'll clean it when i re clean and lube the chain.. on monday..

oo you have a rear seat cowl too...
i want one..

After spending a morning putting on the tail tidy i agree, its not quite that simple! Did you notice the racing cover too? :banana: my favourite part is the ninja tank protector :2thumbsup

I took a few more pics today in actual daylight rather than dusk so should look better now :headbang:

Racing cowl = Mt Eden Motorcycles
Aftermarket exhaust - contemplating that one......

Slyer..... JUST DO IT!! :yes:

[Reido]

oh right right.. Rear seat cowl = racing cover XD

i got my exhaust for Free =]..... from insurance.

[Howsie]

oh right right.. Rear seat cowl = racing cover XD

Yea it replaces the pillion seat completely and as you are legally not allowed to carry pillions on your learners, why have the seat??!!

Did you get an aftermarket exhaust from insurance? And how did that happen?

[Reido]

When they were fixing it...:Oops: cheaper to replace with an aftermarket then the stock..

yeah i know about the cowls.. been wanting one since i got the bike.. other priorities though.. eg service, petrol.. and actually paying off the bike
only 2k to go yay

What exhaust did you end up getting and do you like the sound?? Any power diff??

Mmmm dont i know it, 1000km service due next week!!:crybaby:

[Reido]

a "leo vince" sounds a lot better, though it is a 250 so you know.
and i have no idea about power diff as i didnt get it back for a month.. >_<

first service should only be about $80

its not a major concern of mine cos you mainly just get a different note from the engine, have yet to see any evidence of a hp increase for just changing the exhaust.... :blink:

The 250R Tail Tidy is the most expensive in the entire Ninja range but well worth it:niceone:

I didn't see any red Ninja at MEM but they might be able to order in a red racing cowl if they dont have one in stock.

Edit: Always best to check the location first, i see that you are in welly so perhaps an email??

[Reido]

The 250R Tail Tidy is the most expensive in the entire Ninja range but well worth it:niceone:
?

WHAT!? :shit: the cowl is $189 right?
how much was the tail tidy?

[Howsie]

WHAT!? :shit: the cowl is $189 right?
how much was the tail tidy?

Yea thats about right for the cowl. My tidy was $349!!!

[Slyer]

Wow, I really don't have enough money to go buy a new bike...
At least I fully own my own. :bleh:

[Reido]

Yea thats about right for the cowl. My tidy was $349!!!
screw that >_<
bring on the hack saw XD

and i though the Cowl was over priced........

on a side note, i've been experimenting with putting speakers in my helmet.
attempt #1 was a massive fail..
#2 worked well expect the speakers are crap..

so now im gonna buy a decent head set, and then butcher it for pieces

[Reido]

Wow, I really don't have enough money to go buy a new bike...

all $1300 of it :lol: :sweatdrop

You could do a very nice job with a hacksaw and some sandpaper if you wanted.

Please post some pics of your speaker experiment when you are finished :cool:

[Howsie]

I would be interested to see first hand the older IL4 vs the new // twin. If memory serves me correctly i believe the older IL4 have approx 34-36hp?? Where as these new 250R (aka GPX in disguise) now put out 31hp.

As for handling, mine handles well but i have nothing to compare it to seeing as its my first bike :wari:

[Slyer]

The old IL4 (ZXR250) will smoke our parallel twins. :)

[Howsie]

That they should! The ZXR revs out to 18-19000rpm so more go per gear unless the ratio is significantly altered.

In the end, straight line speed isnt as fun as the twisties and im sure both these bikes will perform very well with little difference between the 2?

[Reido]

i wish they could make those bikes again..
i'd love an 08 CRB250 *drool* *wishes they existed*

[Howsie]

So do I!! I was considering getting an older ZXR CBR just cos of the high revs they pulled! Now that i have something that revs out to 13 (havnt taken it there yet, being kind until first service) after onlt being in cars that push for 7 its an amazing feeling AND having all that between your legs!! No wonder girls get jealous lol

[Rashika]

I hate all you guys with new bikes. :bleh:
who needs new??
My 250 is a 27 year old 2smoker and she does a measly 160kph with 35HP and thats bog standard... prob do more if she had a fairing. All for $2K, and yep she is still road legal, and she sure is FUN to ride! ;)

I couldnt turn down the feeling of owning a new bike and having the piece of mind with a 2year unlimited km warranty!! Just too good haha

31hp is because of the power restrictions brought in a few years ago over in japan, hence the whole reason they no longer make the IL4 i believe....

180kmph is the top speed of the new 250R, will let you know one day im sure.....

[dangerous]

haha, very true and the the next years model had 45hp beat that with ya high reving muilties boys :Punk:


180kmph is the top speed of the new 250R, will let you know one day im sure..... BUT, take that fairings off and it will strugle to crack a ton... or put ya farings on Rashika's old girl and it will clear ya 180K :wari:

there is nothing quite like the power band of a 2 smoke. Seen them in action but never ridden one, its on the 2 do list :2thumbsup

Are you not well Reido??

[Reido]

im fine XD i meant at riding
i've met my limits twice.. so not keen to go there again

[Howsie]

im fine XD i meant at riding
i've met my limits twice.. so not keen to go there again

Aaah right im with you. Yea not fun hitting your limits but its the only way to know how far you can go and get away with it. Just like learning how to drift a car for the first time :woohoo:

[Slyer]

Well yes having an old bike isn't too bad.
It's just that it being new implies that its in a very good condition, mine needs a lot of work heh.

[Reido]

Aaah right im with you. Yea not fun hitting your limits but its the only way to know how far you can go and get away with it. Just like learning how to drift a car for the first time :woohoo:

eww cages,

im better off now that i know them, cause they were minor (ish).

you work mon to fri?
on wed a mate and i are going for a ride, exploring north ish way,
would be good to get a few more to come,
if you can stand being around 2 teen agers :Punk:

as much as i love my bike, i will still always have a cage lol

yea i work mon-fri, hopefully putting my bike in for its first service next week so if i have it back by wed then count me in, i know north reasonably well. Considering you live in Albany, how far north will you go?

Teenagers lmao im not that far out of those years myself, still am one at heart :Punk:

no idea, we're doing, a direction, not a destination kinda thing..
hoping for.. 350-500 kms round trip

how bout you Slyer, if you think your bike can hack it *tease* :lol:

[Howsie]

350-500 kms round trip

This is approx the distance to Pihia and back, will take approx 5-6hrs depending on traffic. A Saturday would be more suitable for me, you know work and all lol

A good blast at the weekend would be up to Mangawhai heads and back on the back roads, some good roads through there and very few cagers!

on sat im doing the northland loop with TOTO and such, couple weeks back we did the coro loop, which was fun =]

i've got 600km till service which is on Thursday, so i gotta use those up

I saw the Northland ride, shame i have to move my workshop that weekend :pinch:

I see the reason for the big ride. You could do one big trip like that or you could head out to Helensville one night, do a run to Mangawhai another night or through the back roads to dargaville. That should eat up your kms quite quickly. Maybe the weekend of the 17th if you are keen for a long ride?

I prefer long rides to multiple small ones,
Plus i know all the roads "close" to me, which is why we want to go exploring,

Yup keen, for that. would have to be a sat though, as i have work @ midday on sunday
Woo i love school holidays XD

[Slyer]

Woooorking.

but its the only way to know how far you can go and get away with it. Just like learning how to drift a car for the first time :woohoo:
Ya dont have to go 'to far' to learn ya limits mate, listen and learn and feel the bikes feed back... ohh and car drifting is for homo's :scooter:



at some point or another i have to get around to having a blat on one..
I've always wanted to ride an RS250 =]

Nice looking bike.

We never did organise a ride somewhere, should get on to that sometime before you go back to work.

[Road Guardian]

Here's mine :love:

If those are your photos, I am impressed, if not, looks awesome anyway.

[ducatilover]

You can see the WOF in the last picture. Maybe they are! Damn nice bike and awesome photographs.

[Slyer]

Yes they are bloody good photos.

the 250N... very nice man pitty its a import (hawk) but hey bloody nice to see a older 250 being ceared for, I last owned a 250 24yrs ago at the age of 16, it was the 250T

Hey thanks!

I don't think it's an import though - it was registered here in 1984 according to the papers and the previous owner spent some time restoring it, including new decals and paint. In any case I think that SuperHawk sounds better than SuperDream :bleh: :laugh:

It is a very cool bike though, in fact I think I may want to get a hold of the 400 version as my next bike, or maybe one of the CB inline fours. They just have everything I want in a bike, and nothing that I don't.

[adam1194]

Wow that 109R Yours? :laugh:

Nice 250 mate :cool:

Haha old man just traded in his vtx1300 for the m109.
I can barely lift the thing off the stand :P

[Leyton]

08 Hyosung GT250R

Till fresh, Only 640km on the clock as of 2:45pm this avo :) Will get a post first service oil change this coming Saturday I do feel :)

[Slyer]

Awesome, stay safe and keep your distance!

[EatOrBeEaten]

She makes me happy, oh yes she does...

[NOWOOL]

as the title says... id like to see all the babys out there. what have you done to them?? etc etc etc

heres mine, now show me yours:blip:




Here's mine; It's a 2005 Suzuki GN250 (11,000k). Fitted with a givi fairing and top box. It hasn't required any work other than oil changes and chain cleaning.
Usually I forget to fit the top box when shopping. 'note' best way to carry a bottle of scotch without a top box is to sit on it!

(the car is a 2004 Toyota Caldina GT-4, with aftermarket chip. much faster than the bike, lol)

[Ninja82]

Here's my baby....... love it! 2008 Ninja

[chazza404]

:oi-grr: nooo its meant to be the other way around - bikes go faster than cars

[NOWOOL]

:oi-grr: nooo its meant to be the other way around - bikes go faster than cars

I agree......but that takes a full licence first!

[ducatilover]

spada plus these......

[Slyer]

Send him a PM or email him, don't post in a forum...

[ducatilover]

Hi de ho,Ref your seat: Im back from Dunedin now, Ive missplaced your address, email me ASAP please

pm'd :yes:

[NOWOOL]

Haha old man just traded in his vtx1300 for the m109.
I can barely lift the thing off the stand :P

My friend has a M109....highlight for me is watching him start and take off, especially from a slight incline. Sorta like watching a 4 year old on a push bike. Last time it fell over it took three people to right it. Very big bike!

[Diavolessa]

MIne MIne Mine Mine Mine..............did I mention this one is mine?
pretty, shiny baby
yes it's new, yes I have only had it a week, and yes, I'm obsessed :clap:

[Slyer]

Congrats on the new bike!
Even if it is a Hyosung. ;)

[dblancer]

The mighty GPX 250 that my friends I think are sick of hearing of!
I think she has seen a lot of love since I got her, anything she needs to look better, function better is hers. A labour of love and so enjoyable to ride

I know the old GPX's aren't quite up there with the quickest or best equipped but as a first bike, I love her.

On the to do list, brake pads, new rear fairing part and get choke to work without me holding it, but otherwise...:2thumbsup

[Slyer]

Its still very mint for an 87! (Way better than mine!)
If you need any bits check out this auction, he's down your way:
http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=204625222
I bought the motor, fuel tank, exhaust system and other things from him so I have an '88 bike with a '07 motor. :D

[dblancer]

hehe thanks! she gets cleaned and polished alot, I cant believe I was 4 when they built her!

Oh yes this chappy is who I got my replacement seat off.
Excellent guy.
Do you have his phone number per chance, I might give him a bell.

He was going to check if he had a matching piece of fairing for me.
I could just visit him I guess. He was a nice chap

[Slyer]

Oh what?
He sent me a gpx seat! He must have had two. :bleh:
021324835
Craig Duell is the name, tell him his motor is going good. ;)

[dblancer]

Cheers mate :-)

Man those seats a rubbish for some reason...
I haven't seen many where they are actually not torn.

He seems to be my local GPX wrecker, hmmm wonder if he has some newer tires...

[Slyer]

The seat he sold me is completely mint. The old one had nothing wrong with it all, only a tiny hole. He threw it in for free so I took it.
Old one is comfier though, new one needs to be worn in. :)

[NZJONESY]

Here is my Ninja
Don't know if anyone is interested but here is a few pics under the clothing too.

[Slyer]

Yep looks like pretty much the same engine!

[ducatilover]

being a 249cc inline twin i would expect it to look rather similar to the old engine....:dodge:

You can buy a full system exhaust for them from Ebay for about $800, will make it sound mean and give it some extra pep. I'd suggest re-jetting it. Also with older bikes it is important to make sure the valve clearances are kept in check otherwise you'll be losing power.

yes the jetting will probably be helpfull so it doesnt lean out and burn valves and other lovely things, most 250s tend to overheat when their clearances are getting bad, reduces the bmep and volumetric efficiency :bleh:

Yes, the prilla rs has to be the best looking 250 line around.

The tail piece alone is worth mention, and I have seen it adapted for use on many other bikes, and it still looks horn, good work Aprillia, there is a god :)

[Newkid]

Here's some pictures of my Super Sherpa on a recent trip to Australia. I've had it about 18 months, and done 35,000k's
It's a farm bike that thinks it's an adventure tourer :2thumbsup

[jono035]

This is my Suzuki GSX250 Across. Not in the best condition and someone has cut 2 ugly holes in the side of the fairing to try get more air into the airbox, but was cheap, is quick and sounds like a cat in a blender at 16k RPM :2thumbsup
