ive had 2 of them this year... theyre a nice little bike pretty ballsy up high but not so much fun on the corners, you really have to leap right off them. Not the most reliable in my experience, one was great - not one problem at all, the other i ended up replacing all the gaskets and o rings, fiddling with everything and a few days before I sold it the magnetos shat themselves.
Great first bike, will teach you a few things about maintaince, and if your unlucky more too.

I got one now, there not too bad. Quite light, and a little small for me, but goes pretty good, long redline and quick off the mark. I wouldn't recommend to a complete newbie learner, as they need to be ridden, no good for nana riders.

I will have mine on the market in a few weeks, once my full course is done. If you miss out mines not bad and about the same moneys. I loaded some pix on my profile, have a look see.

i try not to think of myself as a nana rider because i m a male and i dont have saggy tits, on the other hand....saggy nuts...does that mean i am a grampa rider? i really want something like these little things [gsxr250's] cause my gn is too deprived of torque to ride comfy at speeeds on. how many k's has yours got?????

**Blackadda** · 14th September 2005, 21:27

Just shy of 50 klix. Goes really well, very good tyres, new about 5 klix ago. Has pack rack, I just took it off. 1989 model, Blue, full fairing. New aftermarket mirrors about 6 months ago.

**ducatilover** · 14th September 2005, 21:44

how many k's do ya recon it will last????????? does it start every time? esp cold mornings, i neeeeeeeeeed a good starter, but have 2 weeks of my course thing i'm doing so want to get a 'new' bike during then...

cheers

p.s.s.s.s.s.s.s., my gns not worth 2 much, somewhere aronud 2-2.3k as a trade in.

**ducatilover** · 14th September 2005, 21:54

how long do they generaly last?

**Blackadda** · 14th September 2005, 21:58

Starts everytime. Only thing with Bikes, is to keep starting them, If I haven't riden her for a week or so, the battery gets a bit tired, but give it a kick and away she goes.

Not sure on life span, but have seen some with 80+ klix on them. Find a good mechanic and you can't go worng!

A mechanic at Haldane's Suzuki told me that they're shit and blow up all the time upon my stating that I want one...

sorry to sour the thread for one so keen...but it's true, he said it.

**ducatilover** · 15th September 2005, 20:26

hey, blackadda...... how much would you want for yours????? the one on trade-me looks to be a bit dodgy...would rather have a bike from a kb'er

but thats jus normal

cheers every one i really want one and blackadda's one be blue! i like blue! the gsx is bout the best bike performance wise in my piddly price range.

**ducatilover** · 16th September 2005, 13:43

all that fucken fuss for nothing........i tested a 99 yamaha srv250, same engine as a virago. not too fast but its only $3k. fuck it souned awesome i'm still sure a cold slightly bung ducati was following in my blind spots!!!!!!!any way it overtakes pretty well, but then again its not as fast as the gsx i rode, but who gives a fuck it looked and sounded like a real bike! i'm gonna scrao da pile'o'ninjashit and sell the gn. should get near enough money for them............mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm v-twin.

sorry blackadda cant buy your bike
