Clearly spring is coming and people are looking for bikes for summer
Others are trying to get top dollar for the junk in their shed ..

Hmm I actually might. The XR is a something bike - that model GSXR, nothing special in the line up of GSXR's.
When I started riding a XR500 was a beast of a thing to manhandle. Rose tinted glasses and all, I'd probably think it was a POS if I rode one now.
Mike Peros motorcycle display in Christchurch is a good place to go and relive ones past without the financial or physical pain of owning one.
Optimistic perhaps, but I wish I could look so cool. (Pic 6)

The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight underpants.
What is it with GN riders sitting on the rear seat?

Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
There is somebody near here bringing them in ex USA. I've seen three now but there may have been more. All were mint or nearly so which is odd considering the nature of the bike. They must have spent almost their entire life in a shed. When I see them they're at an auto electrician of my acquaintance for mods to make them road legal here.

Strange. Lore as a kid was that XRs had competition exemption and didn't need indicators. My 250A sure didn't have them. Shit box of a bike. All the weight of the 500 but with 1/2 the power. Typical Honda quality of castings meant stripped threads . Blocked a gallery and gave itself a rebore/ cam job. With no new parts. Despite regular oil changes.

Just putting this here for the Q&A. Sounds like a KB member or two.

Not a bad price for a dealer and an R model at that (seem to be going up in value these days).
Often wondered if I should have bought a 'tona instead of the Street and put off the sensibility move another decade.
