Was perusing trademe this morning looking at bikes etc when I came across this. (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Motorbikes/Sports/auction-87629197.htm) Despite it needing a rego and wof update this just makes the 250 market look so expensive. Wonder if it would make a good stunt bike...

Holy shit!

And how much are people wanting for their crappy cbr 250's? $5k+

Was going to say high k's, but it's got less than some of the 250's I've seen at dealers and is cheaper. A year ago I saw a CBR250RR with 80,000k's going for $5500, and this was a year ago when the average CBR went for $5500. Now it's $7000 on average

I'm not really fussed considering I have 2 learners bikes that are appreciating in value :D

Then again my damaging them and tearing them apart is keeping their value about the same...

Wouldn't you be looking at a top end rebuild by that?
