The price of 250's

NC · 7th August 2005, 08:34

My flatmate has just gone down to CHCH to pick up a bike that he brought. Now I haven't look at the price of 250's for a while. But I was fucken pissed off to see the price of them, I brought a 93 ZXR250C when I was 21 for $4500, that's a bloody good price from a dealership. It had 20 000kms on it. Now I see that they are going for $7000? $6000? That's a fucken ripoff! The bikes have 40k on them and most of them are not that tidy..
And I brought a ZXR250A for $800, spent a $1000 getting it on the road. But it was a minter. Low K's etc.. Now I see one with 50k's shitty as going for $5000...

Bloody capitalism.
I really feel for the people that are just getting into bikes, in another thread people were talking about pay $300 for their basic handling skills test, they got a bike for the day and passed the test etc.
Mine costed a whopping $115 7 years ago.

It's nice to see that there are more bikers on the road, but this is fucken sickening to see that everyone is going crazy and ripping the n00bs off.

But remember that you have to take you're viagra atleast 60 minutes before you start, and you might need some reading material. you know, just to keep yourself sitmulated.

I'm just trying to make a point that it's not fair that the shops are keeping the prices up which is pushing the price up of everything else for the n00bs.
But NARH the fucken old CUNTS group has to come in and wave the stick of cunts about.

Do me a favour and fuck off.

Oh dear.... hit a nerve did he?

Well, he does have a good point... 3k for a NEW GN250 is bloody good... all be it slow as shit.
To spend 6k on a ZXR250 is mad, an the buyer would do well to wait untill they had their full license and got what they really wanted.
I think License rules would have to change for learners to get better value.

I'm keeping an eye out at the mo for a 66-69 Mustang Cage. They're costing 20-30 grand nowdays, would have got an awesome one for 10-12 Grand about 8 years ago.
