Are you not keen on a 250?

**Metalor** · 14th June 2009, 10:04

These people said they would take $2800 for this...

I don't know if the bike you're looking at is 2 stroke or not.. if so it's extra maintenance. If it's not... you may get tired of it and wish you spent the money on something else.

My ex-flatmate rides a cbr125, she bought it brand new, liked the small/light/learningness of it... now she wishes she had spent the money on a 250..

Ok, just read up on it.... it's 4 stroke.

All good if that's what you wanna get, each to there own, I'd personally go for a 250 though... you may regret the 150 idea!

Bit damaged tho

If I can afford a decent 250 I reckon I'd get one, but I am strapped for cash atm

The bandit I linked you has well less k's on it, looks to be in better nick too. You'll like the bandit I think, excellent learners bikes so I've I'v ebeen told!

My dad says to hurry up and get a bike already.

I know the one up in Kerikeri is mint; it's been checked out by a mechanic etc. My dad has offered to drive me up there tomorrow and I can ride it back. I'll see if it's actually still for sale and how much the guy is willing to accept

EDIT: Oh, and my damn phone has died for no reason! A samsung can survive a washing machine/dryer escapade but my bloody Nokia can't survive a bit of rain.

Or long drops down elevator shafts and gravel roads, apparently.
