    Kiddo, the yellow GT250R

    Finally time to move on after a long relationship.

    Her name originates from the Kill Bill movies, after the main character Beatrix Kiddo (and her yellow jumpsuit.) The character portrayed by Uma Thurman kicks ass, similarily too then, does Kiddo; However where the former member of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad would most likely sneak up on her prey quietly, possible enemies will hear Kiddo coming and tremble in fear at the thundering created by the aftermarket "Scorpion" exhaust and the modified airbox + Hi-Flow K&N Air Filter.

    Like the 180+cm actress (when wearing heels), Kiddo is the perfect size for the taller and more manly sized consort; as she is a similar physical size to larger engined bikes (the panels on the GT250R are interchangable with those of the GT650R.)

    Unfortunately being awesome has cause Kiddo a small amount of fairing damage and a small dent in the tank (as shown in the photos); this has 2 advantages for you, the next possible rider of Kiddo. 1) The damage has been represented in the price of acquiring Kiddo, and 2) You won't feel like as much of a [swear word] as I did in the unfortunate event she were to face future harm.

    If you can't tell I genuinely love this bike (and I'm not talking hairy fairy Hollywood love.) I currently ride the GT650R (named Mamba, another nod to Kill Bill) and Kiddo genuinely prepared me for the larger bike in a way no other 250cc would have. I would not be selling Kiddo off if I could afford to run two bikes (or had the garage space; if you're curious, Kiddo gets the privilege of sleeping inside.)

    Give me a call if you're interested, she has to be heard to be believed. I've run a carjam report on her: https://www.carjam.co.nz/report/?ref=EA8FBEEB

    Aftermarket Additions:
    -Scorpion Exhaust Pipe
    -Iridium Sparkplugs
    -K&N Hi-Flow Air Filter
    -Black-Tinted front screen
    -Aftermarket Race Clutch/Brake Levers
    -Large lettering removed from tank and fairings
    -Yellow Wheel Arc Stickers
    -Custom Tailtidy
    -New Michelin Pilot Active Rear Tyre

    Cheers, I've pretty much only had "hey dude, wanna swap for a 1994 Toyota Celica?" (kinda what you expect for trademe) responses so far lol.

    Hi there,
    Interested in hearing about your air filter mod, looks like you have chopped the airbox leaving only a front shroud/barrier along with adding the KN filter. I assume its a K&N Part No: R - 0990? Also hearing about the main jet sizes your running. PM me if you prefer, so i don't hijack your ad. Good luck with the sale, a good price with all the mods included

    Hey mate,

    Had any problems with the bike? Awesome bike, as Im looking at buying one at some point over the next 2 or 3 weeks if all works out. Just a bit worried about not being able to test ride and the cost of getting it to Wellington...

    hitch a ride up to auckland (im sure someone on kb is going up soon) and then ride the bike back.
    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

    I just wouldnt be confident doing a 8 hour ride just after starting to ride (plus the whole 70kph rule.. bleh). I dont think it would be sensible :/
