Wanting to get on two fast wheels

[ducatilover]

You can pick up a GPX/ZZR cheap these days, great reliable bikes. Enough power for a 250 and comfy to ride. Or (As those who know me expect this) a Honda VT250 Spada. Smooth and bloody strong bikes, fantastic wee machines.

EJ I'm allowed to state the obvious when you obviously missed the obvious.

Speaking of GPX/ZZR I have a ZZR for sale really soon. :P
Come test it if you like.

have managed to decide that i want a sports bike around the $2000-$2500 mark , so reading this and thinking on what i want it for (commuting to and from uni, not any long distances and ocassionally over the bridge) so thinking that i 150 would be fine, but i guess i wouldnt say no to a cheap (priced) 250.. (in saying that quality comes with price.. Hope i am on the right page and as has been pointed out anything would be faster then a 50cc scooter

Man up & get a 250, you might go holy fuck!...this is awesome! I might go for a ride out of Auckland. On the 150 you might not

I'm looking to sell my ZZR250 at around that mark. If you want to pop by sometime over the weekend I live in Glenfield. Can show you the bike, maybe let you have a ride and give you any advice you need.
Bike looks like this one:

I'd say in that price range the ZZR would be easily the best value.

Waaawaaaaa
Your sentence is awesome.
Its like saying, if your put all your money on black you might win, if you put on red you might lose. No shit sherlock.

You can have fun on a 150.....hell you can even crash on one if your good enough.

A 2 to 2.5k sports bike? to be honest mate, if a 250 it is going to be either old (spares issues) well thrashed or crashed if a newer one....... I would think really hard about going there!!!

He could easily get a tidy ZZR, GPX or GSX250 Across for that money

Yes He could, but he could also be sold a right dog, for that price....
My concern with the Across would be bodywork spare in case of a slide/drop... the ZZR? for that price would be higher milage.... the GSX? yes I have seen some nice ones of those around, I will admit... but again it comes down to how well it has been maintained.

If he did it through a dealer ... on HP over a few years (the more the merrier) ... after full licence gained ... upgrade/transfer payments to a bigger bike ... before the full price is paid up ...
