For Sale - RG150

[McJim]

I have been instructed to put the mighty Frog up for sale.

1998 RG150 32,500km.

We've had this bike for just over a year - had done 26,000km when we bought it and had a new chain, recent top end rebuild, new plug and new air filter at that time. I changed gearbox oil 2,000km ago and have kept the chain properly lubed and tensioned. Bike has nearly 3 months registration left and nearly 6 months WOF. I have replaced the shit tyres that were on it with Bridgestone BT039SS tyres (seriously sticky AND great in the wet). New clutch cable fitted (Mav snapped it about 3 months ago :Pokey:). New battery fitted about 3 months ago too.

This bike has seen Hellraiser, jrandom and Chickadee through their full tests.

Reluctant sale - $1,800 ono

[crashe]

and the price would be??????????






Edit: aha you have since added in the price.......

[EJK]

WHY??? lol

So I guess you too didn't like the Crazy Frog song lol

[McJim]

And another couple of pics.....offspring not for sale....

bike is black due to having slid along the ground a bit. Not too bad - mainly cosmetic - learner sliding from the days when it had nasty plastic tyres instead of the fine rubber boots he wears now.

[MDR2]

mint looking bike dude, I just brought a scruffy RG150 for 1800 bucks on sunday and am feeling a tad gutted that this is up for grabs now :(

Oh well I knew it would happen, You make a purchase then something better happens along. HA! I'll quickley get over it once I take it for another ride though :)

again, mint looking bike.

[ajturbo]

i.m not sure about the price....
that rider you have looks .........a bit dodgy..
what would he have been up to on it while dad's back was turned???

'bout 180kph methinks :rofl:...what's wrong with the price? Too low?

[FruitLooPs]

I'd say price is good mate, if someone wants it in invercargill that is. :2thumbsup

My RG150 is up to 54,000 and just completed a mish to queenstown and back from chch so that ones has heaps left in it. :wari:

[MDR2]

1800 is a sweet price.. anything less and someone is getting a bargin and the rest!

[ajturbo]

well... my first one cost $ 800 and the other $ 1,000.

so i have 2 for the price of your one....

[MDR2]

?! were they in questionable state of disrepair or something? or are you just a lucky guy :P

Got spares you wanna sell?

[ajturbo]

the $ 800 one needed a indicator and a foot peg...

the other needed 0... nothing

this was raced all year in the vic winter series... luke managed pole postion... i managed 8th-ish...
(both bikes were thrashed all year.... infact on the $800 one i even saw16,000.rpm..... woops wrong gear... hahahha)

[McJim]

Don't buy it then.

[Jeaves]

price seems about right to me....or any other L plated rider looking for a good first bike.

[ajturbo]

did i say these were road worthy?...

did i say that they were RACED?...

one WAS crashed... albeit gentaly...

these were both brought to be raced...

if i were to want a road rego'ed one, $ 1800 would be a steel!

i have seen them go for 3k...

infact i would be interested..if i had the $$$... would be a great road trip from southland to wellywood on a 150!....:woohoo:

but then you did say that "jrandom " had used it..:shit:

[Chickadee]

My RG's not a race bike, if someone wanted to they could deregister it, however it's an awesome RG - I'd rather see it go to a newbie to get them a good start.

$1800 for a road legal starter bikes pretty sweet when you consider most crappy 250's of older years are $4 grand or more.

Saw quite a few RG's for sale over this past year asking for more, most in crappier condition with higher miles.

Will be advertising in the local rag and probably Trademe.

$800 or $1000 for a strictly racing (deregistered) RG probably is about right.

but then you did say that "jrandom " had used it..:shit:

Agreed! You also don't "quickly" get bored with them. Heaps of fun in a small bike. :niceone:

[jrandom]

Yes, I'll chip in here and say that IMHO, the RG150 is the best learner bike out there. Such a pity you can't buy them new anymore. Fast enough to do anything you want on, razor-sharp but very friendly handling, comfy to ride, very reliable if you do the basic things required to look after it.

McJim and Chickadee's Crazy Frog is a sweet little machine. At this price someone should just buy it right now.

[NotaGoth]

very reliable if you do the basic things required to look after it.

[/I].

Very easy for a nooooooooooooob to learn to work on if need be though.. Despite knowing parts as "that thing" and that "other thing" LOL

[McJim]

Are these bikes 2 stroke, fast (compared to a 250 4 stroke twin) and reliable

[McJim]

Compared to a 4 stroke twin 250? Yep they're fast. They are reliable if looked after - plugs, rings, gear oil and proper 2T oil.
If you're talking about a GSX250 for example the RG150 is really nimble too coz it weighs a lot less. Tyres are cheaper.

[McJim]

The mighty Frog has been sold. I hope the new owner gets as much enjoyment from the bike as we did.
