So, I have a full licence and a GSX600f. I would love to keep the RG but can't afford to run two bikes. I think it is the perfect learner, esp. if you want to move to sports bikes or tourers. Excellent commuter. I have used it every day on a 40k commute, half on the SH16. Happy to trickle in traffic with 3 thou revs on the clock, but can accelerate with pretty much any sports 250s like CBRs etc out there (forget about GNs). On motorway 100k = 8 thou in 6th gr leaving you with plenty of grunt up to (so I hear) 180k tops. Great agile bike, fun on scenic drive and the twisties.
Starts first time and no problems.
Tyres excellent.

What I have done recently with the bike:
- Full service by Haldane's with 4000k to the next service (6000k intervals). Haldanes said bike was in excellent condition. $170
- Brakes bled and filled by Henderson cycles last year $40 - brakes excellent
- new clutch cable from Haldanes $70
- new wing mirrors $50
- chain and teeth plenty of wear left

Basically the bike is ready to buy and ride.

Cosmetically bike bears the marks of a learner bike of this age with few minor scrapes. Overall it looks great and I will really miss it when it goes. Would keep it but ambitions to do long distance 2-up touring on the GSX :bye:

Would you happen to know what the seat height is?

Also... Is there someone in the Auckland area who would be able to take a look at the bike for me?

Thanks for any help in advance.

Hey now, trying to get someone to take a look for me first seen as I can't exactly rush down right away.

Whats the height on the fxr compaired to an RG? I know I'm fine on a CBR.

Hi, on the sidestand distance to top of the seat is 75cm (so maybe add a few cm on).
I think on the site I remember Mrs Kendog trying an RG to see if it was a good size and liking it. Do I remember that Beemer said she was 5'1" and also rode an RG? Bike is light and I seem to remember that alongside a CBR250 seat was very slightly lower (could be wrong though).
Certainly I remember seeing off the CBR!

And since you are an expert on RG's you'd be able to verify the overall condition too!
