Electric Mangoes are breeding

[Fub@r]

Ok McJim, Marv, GIJoe and other 250 learner friendly weekend riders you will now have to put up with 2 Electric Mango's blinding you on every curve........

thats right Fubar has scored a brand new Hyo GT250R for substantially under retail and I'm willing to cop the flak considering the price.

So the mighty Ginny is on the market from tonight if you know anyone that is interested make me an offer as the missus is stressing because I attacked the savings account :dodge:

Believe me I wont be out to test that. The Ginny has been an awesome commuter, just would like somthing with a bit more so can cruise a bit easier on longer open road trips.

How'd you manage that? The Missus wants a 250 and may consider a Hyosung if the right price...

(There're SOME advantages in marrying a girl with significant Scottish ancestry...:yes: )

Looking forward to seeing it, just not parking next to it, being yellow and not black... or at the very least red...

Yeah - I know coz I overtook 2 Hyosungs at Taupo track day.:Punk:

Top speed for the GTR is rated at 180K ... and there is still some left :) ... trust me, i've been there .. LOL.

I look at it this way, I have lost my license before (car) and have no intention of losing it again. But if I was to lose it again I would prefer to lose it for doing over 150 in a 100 than on a ginny doing 101 in a 50 :done:

A 250 suits my needs, got a score on price only downside is its an Electric Mango but you cant win them all :yes:

[The_Dover]

ok, I am faster.

All we have to do now is get you a stebel and your sorted ....

If anyone else is going to get one let me know, maybe we can do a deal on shipping or something? might get one to put on my new bike, when I eventually get a new bike... Bandit was picked up last night.

Are you sure you're looking at the stats for a CBR250RR Vtec? There are couple of variants on the CBR250 theme.

I'm tempted to bring my missus' 150cc pootle machine to a track day and try it against a ho'bag 250R...I think the 150 would win.:Pokey:

My VTR had little difficulty keeping up with and overtaking Hyosungs at Taupo and the missus' 150 pisses all over the VTR.

At the end of the day it's a bike - and, dare I say it, a darn good looking bike too. The V-twin should make it a friendly bike to ride - enough power for the open road and enough torque around town. The fairing will make a big difference too.

Congrats Fub@r...would your wife care to buy me a SV650S?

Have you ever thought of getting mango coloured leathers to match the bike? :D I've basically given up on trying 2 get Warlock to get some :dodge: although... if you both got mango coloured leathers you could match not only your bikes but each other as well!!:shutup:

From what I've heard at the drags, a low-fluids, 98 running GTR was slower than a fully loaded GSX250 on 91.......and RG150 > GSX!

They do look mighty purdy though.

[gijoe1313]

ooh la la, Fub@r is getting a new ride - if his missus ain't careful she'll be finding him saying things like "myyy...preeeciiouuuussss" and then "it puts the lubing oil on the chain"

These two-fiddy group rides will never be the same! Stonkin' new rides with nary a scratch, ding or scrape on them (oh wait, that won't take too long! :innocent:)

Hmmm ... just imagine the effect when 10+ stebels go off all at once :shit:

:shit: Good idea!!! Man, I should get every one in NZ with a stebel to come to my place and have an early morning honking competition. My neighbours have about 3 parties a week (usually midnight to 9 in the morning... they go to work wasted). That should teach them what it is like to wake up to noise :yes: hehe

That would be about right - the GT250R puts out about 29bhp the GSX puts out about 35bhp and the mighty RG can reach a staggering (for a lil 150) 37bhp - at 128kg it bloody well SHOULD thrash the rest of them - I've taken my wife's RG up to 170kph so far without even getting into 6th gear.

[WarlockNZ]

wish i had a 6th gear :(

Going from a 15 minute lanesplit to 1.25 hr carpool traffic jam in a cage watching everyon else go lane splitting past you is soul destroying.

Every moment I can escape the house this weekend I will be out making the most of my new ride, but I'll be telling the missus is for safety reasons that I get used to bike as much as possible before tackling rush hour on an unfamiliar bike :shutup:

Wont catch me dead in a set of leathers, they accentuate my curves and bumps too much :gob:

As for a bigger bike in a short time............I'm happy with a 250 and dont really have any intention of getting anything bigger in the near future.

Reasons:

250's have good resale value (yes even hyobags), 90% of my ussage is spent lanesplitting and only reason for trading out of the Ginny was so on the occassion I can get out on the weekend rides I can get above 100kph

[WarlockNZ]

People have to pay thousands for a pretty mediocre number plate and then ILLEGALLY fuck around with the spacing and fitting screws to make the plate what they want..

You won't get much use out of them on the mantlepiece....whip 'em out and use 'em!




Mav says you won't need them riding a Ho'bag anyway....see WarlockNZ:dodge:

[gijoe1313]

Hey! I just got back from Whangarei! I pootled up there today to scrub in a new front tyre from 'Treads ... $280 ... but the nice person there knocked $10 off the sticker price (they remembered me coming in two weeks ago to get the rear done!)

I took the Dargaville route back via Brynderwyn to Auckies ... nice ride :yes: and I'm pretty sure the front is well scrubbed in! Nice little practice for tomorrows ride up to Cape Reinga ... I saw a lot of trucks, wonder if one of them was meant to be for Fub@r's electric mango? :mellow:

Only saw two other bikers in all that time ... and the set up in Whangarei for that A&P show! As I was riding through ... I saw a lot of Avocado and Tangelo sale signs... howsabout those for colours? Avocado Lime green and Citrus Tangelo heheh!

Good on ya mate...good roads up there wouldn't you agree??

A few too many straights on the way home from dargs though.

I'm heading up that way today to catch up with the family gonna be heading out through 16 up to wellsford than onwards and upwards from wellsford.

[rookie]

Oh GIJoe mate....had an awesome ride today.

went out 16 to wellsford, then up main drag towards dargaville. At Paparoa, took a detour and found some of the most heavenly roads ever known to a 250. Ended up at Maungatapere then headed towards dargs which gives you the best section of the route from whangarei to dargaville to enjoy. I arrived at the parents house with a stupid grin on my face from the ride.

To make this story relevant to the thread, i met another electric mangoe victim on the way back at wellsford. I directed him in the direction of KB, so there may be another joining the clan soon.

Pretty buggered after the days riding (550km's) but we'll be back into it tomorrow to join the 2-fiddy clan.

[Fub@r]

The Electric Mango has landed..........on with the gears and left the office for a nice ride around the Waterfront with Toymachine.

I have a feeling that tonights usual 15 minute run home will be the longest in history. 2 or 3 hours should cover it :)

[gijoe1313]

Woot! Just remember to run it in properly and not go fanging off into parts unknown at a quicker pace than your previous Ginny! Remember to ride safely and get to grips with your new riding weapon! :yes:

Damn, sounds like everyones getting new rides!

[toymachine]

Damn, sounds like everyones getting new rides!

Yeah I wouldn't mind one myself :-/

I'm getting bored of looking at a naked bike!

[Morcs]

You can buy mine TM ;)

Its had a few modifications since you last saw it... loooking gooood..

The list gets longer - TR's exhaust, renthal sprocket, K&N Filter, just put motul in it and changed the plugs and is running soooo goood... just got to get it on a dyno and make sure the carbs are balanced.

Highly recommend motul, pop down to red baron and pick some up, $39 for 4L... best money you will ever spend...

[Fub@r]

Does Toy want an Electric Mango now eh :Punk:

[toymachine]

Does Toy want an Electric Mango now eh :Punk:

Don't want a bloody mango!

Wouldn't mind a sports bike though

[Morcs]

Red baron have got a gorgeous GSXR (same engine as older bandit but with 18k redline) going for 5.5k. If i had the money, i wouldve bought it on saturday. Fairly rare aswell, so you get to be different to all those cbrs...

[Fub@r]

Well after a good ride this evening I still can't remove the smile off my face :yes:

Don't know whether its because the GTR stands out like dogs balls or whether the Ginny just didn't cut it as a bike but every single bike that passed me going the other way made a noticable acknowledgement of me :Punk:

were they pointing and laughing by chance?





Good to see you like your new toy pity about the colour.

[Fub@r]

The colour has grown on me and no they weren't laughing :yes:

[gijoe1313]

Great ... now about that Stebel ...

[lukelin250]

i wouldnt buy that gsxr to be differant from a cbr, look at it. it looks exactly like a cbr hahah but most likely much harder to get parts for e.t.c

nice bike though its a shame there isnt more it would be good to have as much variety as possible in the 250 market. 250 riders are so passionete about there bikes and riding as we are all just starting out in this amazing adventure of motorbiking....

[Fub@r]

Great ... now about that Stebel ...

Been having a blast on this bike and I've only had it 3 days and I have already doubled the mileage it arrived with from the previous owner.

I'm still undecided if my increase in nods and waves I recieve is in pity for the colour or just amusment. Even Gijoe waved at me this evening and he didn't realise it was me ...........think the glare of the bike blinded him :innocent: But then I was a westy trespassing in the deep south

[gijoe1313]

Aye, me being asian and all - the colour hardly registers in my field of vision "jest anudder feck'n asian!" :lol: I think I was under the influence of the portents of today and the next two days ahead :no: Mebbe I didnae look too closely in case it was the Grim Reaper on his Custard Sycthe O'Doom! :innocent:

Mad props to Fub@r fer somehow using Jedi Mind Powers to enslave his wife to purchase new tropical fruit for the house!

"This is the Electric Mango I've been looking for..."
"You do want me to have it to move along with now..."

You may tease my Mango, but like I said to you last night............I'm more confused about how you got hit in the BACK of the head by a duck???????? :shutup:
