    Oooo I just saw this:

    http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...-439504712.htm

    Not that it's any of my business, but I seriously regret selling my ZZR250 even though I love my street triple - something about the 'plantedness' of the ZZR made it a fantastic ride, and not supersport hunched over either....

    Either that ZZR has been on Trademe for 12 months or it's being sold again. It was on there when I was looking last Jan.

    I wouldn't go there...
    They are anything but light, and not exactly simple machines to work on. And old CV carbs?
    Was the SV I linked to you not a goer?
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Maybe you should let us all know how much $ you can dole out? Might stop us from getting all excited in our helpfulness...

    ...that is until you want to push start them when the battery goes flat and you can't get second gear due to the "Positive Neutral Finder" !!!

    Another thing you need to consider....
    Older bikes (like that one) usually have odd rim sizes. Tyre selection is limited. And availability may be an issue.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
