My new GN250 - Yes it's wifey approved, based on the colour!

**caspernz** · 29th July 2013, 15:48

So the replacement for my trusty 08 Katana, ok GSX750F for you teapot haters, turns out to be this Daytona yellow Busa. It's always a bonus though when the wife loves the colour I reckon. Now if that turns into her spending more time on the pillion seat...well, the fuel economy might improve

and I'm not saying anything more until my lawyer gets here!

Having had big bikes before I don't have an issue with the weight, it's a relaxed neutral handler if you're ok with a bit of bulk, and yeah well as for the power of the thing...I suspect it might just do. But hey, the bit that I like about bikes of this ilk is the relaxed way they make forward progress. The V8 car analogy always comes to mind, there's faster bikes around, and there's better bikes for screaming over the Rimutakas on, but this style of bike just works for me.

Thumbs up for the crew at Wellington Motorcycles

Looks like a real mile muncher!
I always wondered how those handled. PB Magazine had one a while ago as a long termer and were very impressed with it.

Good luck with it.

Damn, I think I got cheated when I bought my GN. Mine doesn't look that cool.

Hehe, congrats to the new bike. Looks very nice

**nzspokes** · 29th July 2013, 19:02

I love the colour. Very nice bike.

I don't get it.

Are you saying someone parked a bus on your gn250?

**ducatilover** · 29th July 2013, 20:04

Your GN ate way too much mate.

'tis a lovely bus though, much betterer than a teapot.

That's a good bumblebee impression.

I'm sure you've got some good rides ahead of you.

Thanks, it's a bit of a dinosaur nowadays I'll admit, but it's a sweet handler...the trick being in the discipline needed to keep the speed sensible

Lucky for me the wife shares your opinion, now if she could just stop bashing me on the helmet when I twist the throttle...

Not just any bus...a school bus...well that's what one of my Yankee buddies suggested
