I was wondering if anyone could please come with me to check out a motorbike in Brooklyn, Wellington. its a 1985 VT250F. The only reason i ask is because of its age and the fact that it has done 51km and im not sure what i'd be looking for if something should be wrong with a bike like that. Any hel p much appreciated and will be rewarded appropiatley.
Cheers,
Matt

Hey! Mafu, You need to change your details....
Well done on the purchase. Take you time and get to know the new baby. Before long, you will wonder what all the fuss was about.
