Hello there, I'm new to Kiwibiker so hello to you all
Here is my RGV150s that I've used to learn on, now that I have my bearings on a bike I'm looking at getting a 250 four-stroke... This bike has been great and easy to learn on. It's light, pretty quick for it's size and it's as simple as a bike can be really, so maintenance has been easy. The last person I bought it off had it serviced at Red Baron (I've owned it for about 4 months) and it had a number of things fixed up (I have a list of things serviced somewhere, can post if requested).
Since I've owned it I've replaced the inner tube of the rear tire after the last one blew out on me, I've never dropped it but the previous owner had, resulting in a couple of scrapes and a crack in the fairing which I fixed up myself. I recently replaced the spark plug as I burnt it out by running 98 octane in it (I usually always use 95).
The ex-ex owner of the bike took the top end of the engine to bits and cleaned it out at about 27,000km and replaced a few things in the process (I believe he's a member on here somewhere, and have an e-mailed overview of what he fixed). I've always run it on Castrol TTS. Still got good tires on it, not a bad bike overall. It has a seat that is in nasty condition that I'm currently getting replaced with a brand new one, so I will post photographs after I get that back. Reg'd for the next three months, needs a WOF at the end of this month though I see no reason why it'd fail and I'm happy to put it through one before the buyer takes it. Open to offers, but not in a huge hurry to sell as there's a few cosmetic things I'd like to fix up before I pass it on. Ridden it out to Piha and Huia a couple of times before but that's about as far as I'd want to take it, though it's great for around town.
Image below is from a couple of months ago, only difference between now and then is that the seat has split... Will post new pictures soon
