RGV150 coming up

[smittyboy]

Hey there, ive only just signed up to these forums and they look pretty good. I have a 99 RGV150. It has been a good first bike as I used it for my learners but I think it is time for an upgrade :wavey:. Anyone interested in buying for about $1500 in december as im going to get an FZR250. :banana:. If anyone has one just tell me, but im looking for a cheap one around $2800 and I preferably want a black and silver one. I also want some old race leathers dont care about scruffs, just want cheap ones. Cheers

Gidday smittyboy.

Welcome to kiwibiker.

You got a nice place to ride bikes in South Wairarapa.

You'll have to come over the hill and meet us all sometime. :)

[Redstar]

...You got a nice place to ride bikes in South Wairarapa...

psst Simon, he's in Greymouth, not Greytown :moon:

[smittyboy]

Yeah, theres one problem with getting a ZXR as my mate already has one. My other mate has a CBR so the options are getting worse. FZR wont be so bad I don't think it will be a good upgrade.

Make sure you get a good check done on one, get the mechanic to take it for a spin. My bike has flatspots and it likes to gurgle and go no where/stall at low rpm. If he takes it for a ride he may be able to point out some potentially costly problems.

Doh! I'll blame that one on the Aberlour... sorry guys...

anyway, even better!!! Bugger all traffic. And some great roads up the west coast - ahh Buller Gorge.

[smittyboy]

Yeah I haven't done the buller george yet but definitely planning on it aye. If any of you guys are keen some time next year that would be awesome. Me and my mates have: RGV150 (mine) <_< , RG150, KR150, ZXR250, CBR250. The cops are getting to be a bit of a pain now though how do you guys deal with them? :laugh:

[smittyboy]

Thanks for the advice as well will definitely be checking before I buy. Sounds like you ended up with a lemon :crybaby:

[Blakamin]

Looks like it :(. I reckon my carbs are fudged.

Oh yeah.....wellcome. :niceone:

[smittyboy]

So what did you pay for it and how many k's has your FZR done? :spudwhat: Is it the one in the picture? :spudwhat:

[Magua]

$1600, 36,000ks. Better picture in my profile.

[Coyote]

How fast are the 150s and 250s? Might be getting either and since I hope to be racing in streetstock, speed is what I want.

[riffer]

Best way to deal with the cops? Don't get hassled by them. :whistle:

Find yourself a really, really, twisty road where you can go as hard out as your ego or talent will let you go. Chances are if the road's twisty enough you'll never go over the limit.

[smittyboy]

Lol nice, The bikes go:
RGV150-160km/h
KR150-180-190km/h
RG150-180-190km/h
ZXR250-Not sure?
CBR250 170km/h in 5th not completely reving it out not sure in 6th.
They are alright as first bikes though we are all on learners and restricts :headbang: :Police:

[Magua]

I've heard stories of FZRs being off the clock, but 190kph doesn't sound too likely.

[The Pastor]

RGV150-160km/h

When my zxr gets out of the :sweatdrop shop :argh: I'll soon tell you how fast it gets up to. :2guns:

180-190? I was told they only got to about 160.

Also, the GSX250S Katana-173km/h

[Coyote]

Also, what is going to perform better on the race-track, the 150s or 250s? Now I know the top speeds but what about acceleration, brakes, etc. I assume that the 150s are lighter and have the best handling and the 250s are heavier but have better brakes

[smittyboy]

Umm, not to sure what to pick aye. RGV150 is not a racer but the speedo is out and it said that I was doing 175km/h but I think I was doing about 155-160km/h. The KRR150 has kips and does 180km/h no trouble. The RG is probably a littly slower on the top end but about the same getting up there. I would prefer a 4 stoke though because they have a lot more horse power, better top speed and alot more reliable.

I am intrested in this bike, would you deliver? maybe I could convince the folks to meet half way or something.... We also are occationally in seddonville, so a pickup in westport could be arranged....

Hey there thanks for the interest but im waiting to sell the bike mid to late december if you will be still interested then I will definitely sell it to you. Sorry if you thought it would be ready straight away. It also has 23000 ks now probably about 24000 then. Bike is in really good condition, always been garaged. Would definitely be able to deliver to westport if needed also.

[ZorsT]

i understood it would be ready for december, it works out good for me because it means I will have time to raise the nessessary $$$ to purchace it...

[smittyboy]

Sounds good aye. Give me you email and I will give you some pics and more information about it.
