Wanted: 250cc or less for 2k or under

[Monorail]

The title says it all give or take. Need wof and rego. Preferable lower north island. Post pics and prices please and thank you

[Chickadee]

Under $2K your best buy is a RG150 or KR150 two smoker. Only 1 hp less than a Bandit 250 which costs about $5K

[Monorail]

thats what i was thinking. i'm watching a few on tardme but would rather have an ex kb owned bike.

[Wasp]

Bandit 250 which costs about $5K
I sure hope you didnt pay that $5k..... (not that i like devalueing my own bike)

[Monorail]

comon guys. i need a new bike before school starts again

I wouldn't let my missus own a Bandit 250 - much daftness dropping a 250 engine in a 400 frame! Despite being a 38hp 250cc it's too heavy.

RG150 37hp only 128kg! = much fun to be had!

[Wasp]

its not so daft when you consider that when you get your full you could blow the engine and drop the 400 in ;)

and its not heavy, its only 140kgs dry....

Aye, but if yer an old rich bastard like me you pass your full licence and get a MV Augusta F4 :rofl:

[Wasp]

and you do the 400 bandit swap out as a project AS WELL so you dont look like a fat cat that knows nothing about bikes :bleh:

The blown 250 might compete ok with the naturally aspirated 400 anyway ...

And still be legal on a learners :rofl:

[Wasp]

well fuck, if the cops have as hard a time as i did finding the 250 badge (took me 6 months or so? and then rg100 found it)

it'd be a pretty neat project if you had the right model 250 (mine:D) and the 400 engine

[McJim]

But I am a fat cat that knows nothing about bikes - I am not in denial!

[Wasp]

damn...... now for a comeback... hmmm.....

buy me an MV Augusta F4 too please? in silver/blue? :innocent: they ARE really sexy bikes

Only if you promise to have a Bandit 250 engine in it - I'll even let you use one of the VVT engines if you like. That way people will think I am the far better rider. :rofl:

[Wasp]

hahahaahahah :rofl: you mean a 400? :P

ok, night mate, us mere lemmings have to get up and work in the morning

Sell it as bits to other RG150 owners on retard me - you'll make about $6K - then you can buy a 250 four stroke.

[Mr. Peanut]

Bikes are boring, think of all the neat stuff you could get for $2k!

[ZeroIndex]

thats what i was thinking. i'm watching a few on tardme but would rather have an ex kb owned bike.

because then instead of wondering if it's been thrashed you'll know that it definitely has? :p j/k

Surely any 250 would have to have been thrashed!

[zeRax]

id sell my tzr 250 , just gotta finish painting it first ;p, and get some new mirrors,
broke mirror trying to squeeze it into the shed ffs, mirror clipped doorway

[Str8 Jacket]

lol, well you could have had mine if you hadnt bought that computer. I sold it for under $2000.....

well the 250 four stroke part is on the cards , dont know if i could bring myself to strip the RG though.........you dont need a spare gearbox and motor do ya :shifty:

[hobdar]

I have a GN250 for sale, best if you come take a look, its 2 years old and a bit rough, cosmetic wise, rust here and there, a little worse than the typical chinese gn, mechanically it should be ok, just had the head done, and some work through TSS motorcycles to get it starting aain after sittin idle over christmas/new years, i just got my full so out it goes...... was hoping for a little over 2K but your welcome to come see. PM me.

Totally, I've got 2 of them :D

Would offer to sell one, but they're both in disrepair. I'm doing both of them up. I had plan to sell both of them, but I think I might keep one

[Seraph]

best keep an eye on trademe, amazing what lil bargains come up on there, I just scored me a cbr250r (will be my 3rd 250...) for $1500. needs a lil work cosmetically, and quite high k's but for that price I don't really mind all that much.

[crazybigal]

haha it will wip your vtr mcjim!
i know i own both, you may get the jump on the bandit at the lights but at 100 it will leave you behind.
I did a drag race, my vtr(2002) and my bandit (1996) we both had a go on the bandit to make it fair and same results! sorry to burst your bubble!
I find the bandit is a better long range bike with its 6 speed box than the vtr.
vtr is better around town.
value for $$$ the bandit.
downside it drinks as much gas as my blackbird!!

you might find it will say the displacement of the engine on the actual engine.
