The price of 250's

[inlinefour]

Thank you for the bad rep. I'll wear it with pride.

As do we all...

Oh and thank you for a rather entertaining evening. Haven't had sooooo much fine online for quite some time.

buy a FXR not a RGV or GN

Go with the RG if you can put up with 2 stroke.

Why aren't any new 250's being made? Thats why the price is unrealistic, $7000 is about the most a young male adult can afford so off course the best 250's available are sold for that much.

I have posted this before somewhere but I cbf dragging it up. Basically they are 'sorta' thinking about it as the market is picking up again (esp NZ).

They would be roughly $9000 new for a zxr/cbr though. Would you pay that much for a restricted/'slower than the old ones' zxr/cbr with new plastic shape etc?

Didn't think so.

A zx2r styled like a zxSEXr would be quite.. ... nice to say the least

You don't have to pay that much, just get a damaged one, then you don't lose thousands when you bin it, at the end you can fix it if you want. You also become good at visiting wreckers.

With no manufacturer making inline 4 250's anymore. Dealerships can get away with inflating their prices.

isnt MID in chch selling a couple 91/92 zxrc's with low k's for $5k inc on road costs?

anyone had any experience with them?

My daughter's partner has bought a couple of ZXR250Cs from them at $4995. (One had a wee accident). Seem to be tidy enough. I think they have about 3 in stock at the moment at $4995.

Do you think that the low Ks they had on there are legit?

I mean, 6,000kms for a 13 year old bike = possibly dodgey.

You can never be sure. Paul's two both had about 20000k on them and the way it's been explained to me by another dealer, that could easily be legit. (apparantly the Japanese don't get to ride very far, very often).
When I bought my CB400 it had 7200 km on the clock and was 13 years old. I was fairly comfortable with that though as the tyres looked really old (cracked and perished but there wasn't much tread off them...so old but not done too many ks.). Nothing has happened in the 4 months I've had it to make my think the kms weren't legit. Got it from a different dealer though.

The 250s certainly don't seem to be as good value as the 150s. I bought a new RG150 in 1998 for about $4000 and had it for four years without any trouble. Admittedly it wasn't the most learner-friendly bike for a total beginner, but once I could ride, it never bored me. I had to be careful when overtaking in head winds, but that bike got me everywhere I wanted to go and I loved it.

Then I had a lapse in judgement and bought the BMW - lovely bike, just a bit too wide and heavy for me so it sits in the garage and doesn't get ridden. When I decided to downgrade and buy something I could have fun on again like the RG, I considered the KRR150 and also the VTR250. The 150 was an excellent price but I wasn't keen on going back to a kickstart with skinny tyres and a tiny tin can, and I thought the VTR was hideously expensive for a 250. I looked at some Jap imports in Auckland but ended up buying a new Goose - Suzuki SG350N. Paid $6500 for it and it is magic. I love it and it hardly gets time to cool down between rides! Spending about $7000 on a 250 to me is crazy - unless they keep their price second-hand. The old story - captive market, they don't have a choice if they want a learner bike and want it new.

It sez "leave me alone shit for brains"

[Lee Rusty]

it aint the dealers keeping the price up - the market rules as long as people will pay it - they will charge it - if they dont sell at that price the price will fall.

ecomonics of capitalism.
