EDIT:

price lowered: 2.8k....

cash....

ride it away.

Alright ill put my baby up for sale, as i want to get into racing so need a toy with a bit more get up and go for that , if i don't sell i will just race the 250... but would prefer it was being ridden daily and somebody making better use of it than taking it into streetstock and thrashing the poor thing.

so as sad as i am to part with her i would rather she lives on how she is.... :)

looks just like the pictures but has tail lights headlights...plate and indicators fitted...and mirrors...in the pictures all road stuff had been taken off just incase i sent her down the track at taupo..which i didn't :)


i myself have only taken this bike out for one trackday...on sunday at taupo...old owner did not take it on track as far as i know and he had it for approx 2 years as far as i know.


pictures are here...

Am open to swaps on 400cc racebikes...or anything decent and sporty that i can turn into a racebike...no evil 2 strokes though..... and no 250's does not matter if bike is deregistered....

1990 ZXR250A2 (kiss arm swingarm model)

Near new tyres front and rear - Dunlop Gpr A-10 Sp Race

Has had new front discs put on last year.

Just replaced brake pads all round

Oil and filter change has just been done also

Clutch has been grunted up to bite better.

NSR 250 single seat fibreglass tail.

Oxford LEDicators - LED indicators on the rear - standard indicators on front

Fibreglass front fairing and right hand side fairing. (left fairing is plastic and needs plastic welding on one upper mount)

Engine was replaced recently and now has 30,000 k's approx on this engine the bike itself has done 60,000

Forks do not leak at all.

The rear shock has been replaced with one with adjustable damper or compression i cant remember....basically you just click the wheel round (has 4 different postions) and it gets harder....also has a spring preload adjustment but as with most bike you need a c spanner to adjust it...

it is a genuine kawasaki shock but was not factory...it was an extra goodie you could buy...

Is running a zx9r racecan - straight through with perforated tubing inside - nice and loud amazing tone.

Carbs have been rejetted to allow for the more free flowing muffler.

The paintjob is just a spraycan job done in quite a hurry to tidy it up. as it looked a bit silly with red tank and fairings with a different coloured tail.

so to be honest cosmetically it's not the prettiest thing

but mechanically it is extremely well cared for and thats what truely matters good for perhaps a new rider, ,if ya have the money...you could paint it up pretty....as the nsr tail section makes it stand out from the rest...

WOF runs out Jan 2008

REGISTRATION runs out in November 2007

Redlines at 19k

$4k O.N.O

But hey make me an offer and we can talk...

Cheers: Mark

Alrighty stopped being lazy today and took some piccys...as you can see cosmetically it is rough...was aiming for 4k ....look up any on trademe you will not find one as mechnically sound for this price....

but as i have said an offer and i'm negotiable :) :cool:

i have left them fullsize but lowered quility from my digital....

so you can get a decent look at it....

no point saying the paintjobs pretty or anything because it aint haha.

Does this mean your going to give up riding on the road once you get the licience back? It was previously stated that you should wait until you have your full licience back, which would be a very good idea. Great thing wanting to get into racing, but I'd suspect it won't be cheap. You won lotto reciently dude?

tailpiece sits there with sort of a hope and a dream haha

never got around to making the brackets to properly mount it....the seat stops it ffrom coming off...

brackets would be easy to make....

well as you can tell from the pics the wheels dont match what ya see is what it is :)

yeah bud come check it out if ya want....getting a fair bit of interest now that ive lowered the price.

so sooner would be better to come check her out.

Private message me when ya wanna come have a look.

or add me on msn messenger.... brngiton@hotmail.com

Is this the same bike that ate itself at Taupo trying to pass a RS250 with a slow rider?

skidMark
7th December 2007, 01:02
yes it is...it thre a big end bearing...i think because i downshifted too soon but am too drunk to make an answer cus i dnt wnanna mislead anybody.....and shit me man u aint slow.....cldnt catch u.....till the sweeper haw haw!

i'm drunk right now but will try make sense....

ive got it in bits at the moment...no point whatsoever bullshitting people..

it's thrown a big end bearing.... i have a new big end bearing...and new crank bolts etc...i am a mechanic so know how to fix it.....will be all up and runnig soon....

but i am waiting on the bolts for the crank shaft.....

i would rather wait and do it properly than reuse the bolts as the manual says not to reuse them...

as i am not a person who will botch something up and then sell it to wipe my hands of the problem, i know people work hard for their money just as i had to, to buy this bike.

so yeah in summary...

it's all being sorted at the moment should be done in about a week.

sorry to those who wanted to testride. but i would rather it was done right than patch it up.

as that would not be fair on the new owner, i am not going to do it halfarsed.

so yeah osrry if i'm babbling ive been on the piss

and thanks for the chase dave...was good fun....even tho i nearly went straight off turn one tyring to get ya round the outsideu bugger...than god for twin dics aye...i had to stand her up and hit the picks cus i was running too wide haha

will edit spelling when i'm sober sorry.

cheers: Mark:headbang:

alright well unfortunately guys the bike has to come off the market.
as i have stuffed big end bearings at taupo....as it turns out the crank is worn, and as i said earlier i'm not going to botch it up to sell it because i know how hard people work for thier money.

so i'm trying to track down another engine.

but if anybody wants it in the meantime (with a buggered motor)

a new one would be $400 to $600

i spose i could let her slide for 2k with a blown engine.

i'm just so so gutted.

just one of those things i spose.

so yeah $2000 with blown motor...

but price will obviously go back up once i put the new motor in...or i may keep her for a while, in reality i cannot afford another motor.
