Some chick emailed me a little while ago with this:

1998 Suzuki RG150 - 2 Stroke
11,00km - Quicker than CBR250 to 100km/h apparently she says
Looks like she wants to do a straight swap.

I think I'll decline ;)

Well, they are the best/fastest of the Suzi. 150's!

You should at least test ride one Ant.
For a private sale, she should get $2500 - $2800 I recken.
You can get nice ones for around $2000, but not at 1100kms!
It will be interesting to see how much that NSR250 goes for.:)

Yeah I might see if she will let me take it for a spin.

It's not the bike for me though, just a bit too ugly and loud for me.

Man things are so layed back in Whangarei, why would you want anything bigger than your FXR anyway?

More power f00!! :p

To be more specific: More power in the top end, better sound, fatter tyre :D

yeah but thats the whole point in Whangarei. You get in this state of mind where ur so relaxed that you don't actually need any more power.
I used to live in Gisborne and all you need down there is a 50cc scooter.

come on Andrew... all any of us NEEDS is a 150 stroker or 250cc machine (excl. maybe blokes like Bigdog!) It's all about what we WANT!

Some want it green, some want a rumbly V-Twin, some want a jappa Missile and some people inexpicably want harleys.

We all just have to find the balance between want and wallet :)

Shhhhh! FFS, CK, STFU! How on earth am I supposed to convince the missus that spending several grand on a bigger bike next year is *vital* and *necessary* when irresponsible loudmouths such as yourself harm my cause by posting this kind of twaddle?

Honestly, I don't know what the world is coming to.

Repeat after me, folks: "Everybody needs a 'Busa, don'tcha know, everybody needs a 'Busa..."

ahh yes the good old needs and wants. I guess its just basic human nature to want more than what we actually need.

Looks like there's one for sale at the local car rental place down the road. It's a RGV150 though - spokes! :argh:
