Hi There,
Are you talking about the new GSX250s?
If so do a search as there's been some discussion about them before.
but briefly:
Good beginners bike, but if you're like me you'll have to upgrade to a sportier bike (such as a late 80's early 90's 4cyl 250 - or 2 stroke)
Yea the older ones are ok - its hard to get them in good nick though these days, pitty they didnt keep them going, mint bike that can give all the other inline 4's a lesson - but sadly the design is abit dated and doesnt do it for me, but neither the less they are a nice nice bike.Originally Posted by gamgee
I think you will find there are harder to find 250s than the GSX. just go to WT he will fix you up for a brand new one.Originally Posted by gamgee

yup the older one, just spotted this tidy example

but it had already sold when i saw it last night unfortunately otherwise i would have bought it, theres a few of the newer ones but they're all like $4500 and i'd rather just get a newish fxr150 if i was gonna spend over $2000
just found that thread, and the fxr's sound like a better bike i just hate how they've got that skinny little rear tyre, makes them look pathetic
I am sorry about bumping an old topic in this forum.
gamgee.
It is a shame that you weren't able to bid in time for the GSX250S Katana on trademe. Because I can vouch for it's performance and reliability. Because it was my brothers bike.
I have the exact same bike. My bike is totally mint. Had it now for just over a year. Imported from Japan with 6550kms , now 30,000. Rev's to 17k , 9k at 100kmph. Have got it up to 175kmph. Not as good as a CBR, but not as expensive.
I would highly suggest one of those over a GSX250 or a FXR150. It pisses on both those bikes.
I know of a possible contact, that is considering importing 8 of those bikes from Japan. Yes 8. - He is a Dunedin sider like us.
how much would he be looking to sell them for?
