    hmmm--I wonder if a gn250 or later variant motor would fit.
    It just looks like being the perfect beginners bike.
    sexy but uncluttered.

    I saw a girl riding one of those (same colour too) in Perth, back in 1999, I think it were. I thought, "Man - that's a good-looking bike!" Can't remember what the girl looked like though...
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Anyone know what these retail for?
    Looked at the Colemans site but cant find anything.
    They look fantastic.
    I'm looking for a first bike, looks like i can get an exemption for the 250cc limit thing so one of these could be a starter for me

    We get a horsepower limit rather than a capacity limit so the Goose could be ridden by a learner if they can find one.A lot of bikes have restrictors to get under the limit,and yes there are 33 b.h.p. R1`s around being ridden by learners.there aren`t that many decent bikes for sale under the limit,riders seem to prefer restricted machines or they go for Direct Access,which ironically has a minimum b.h.p. limit. but can only be ridden under qualified instructor supervision.

    There is a 250cc version of the Goose.

    I much prefer the yellow version of the 350.

    It's a lot easier, of course, to police a capacity limit, since a cop could never tell if the restrictors were being swapped in and out between WOFs.
    Look, it's an itsy bitsy Bandit.

    goose prices

    I went for a ride on one of these a month or so back - it seemed to handle really nicely - and had a nice riding position - would have been a good buy at 2500 - nice guy - name of ralph - he had bought a trx850 that basically looked like a grown up version of the goose .. good fun

    They sell for around six - there have been a couple of them at dealers around the country of late - there are a couple of neat sites dedicated to them in the UK

    cheers

    Some of tham can't even work that out. When my #2 son was learning, he had an FZR250. Got stopped by cops for some reason, and they tried to book him for riding a bike over 250. The cop wouldn't listen, wouldn't look at anything, and finally called for backup. Looked like a prat when backup showed him the "247cc" (or whatever) cast into the cylinder block
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    Holeshots gave me one as a loaner a while back,I rode it to work and everybody had a ride on it,and all my mates (no-one here from holeshots I hope....)We all loved it,from idiot's like me through to my boss who rides a Hardley.Not a real powerhouse( will crack over the ton no worries though ) but just great fun and great handling Even had some guy in a cage at the lights comment on it!
    Would thoroughly recomend one if yer not into going fast everywhere.
