WANTED: learner bike.....or bigger

**ducatilover** · 12th September 2005, 22:02

i am looking for something a little more interesting than my gn250 because my ninga is stuffed...maybe a 2 stroke would do...what could anyone recomend? i dont mind a little cosmetic or mech work cause i can probably get about $2k

i really like the fzr's but they all seem exspensive nsr's are statistically good.....if i could majically get another gpz400r or 600 i wouldnt mind.....i will consider anything around

$2k thats w.o.fed+regd

bro i have a suzuki rg 250 two stroke in mint condition (im more after the $2500 mark but neg). It is lighter than the other bikes you listed with the same hp (i think) its just had a full paint job and service, if you are intrested ive got pics. It is a very fun little bike to ride esp in the twisties!

I have a 1990 Bros - VTwin 650 CC. 29,000 Ks.
I bought as a learner for moving to a bigger bike from a dealer 3 months ago, but have since gotten a new Suzuki Savage as the Bros was too high for me ( I am 5ft, 1") and I dropped it a few times when I got caught on high ground. Even with supsension at lowest point.

Has a broken right indicator - still works but plastic smashed. Slight dint in tank, paint not broken. Attached picture not my bike but identical so you know what they look like.

Goes really well, motor good. Registered and WOF good for 3 months.
Pack Frame with sports / full / grabrail attachments and a scottoiler.
I was going to sort out the inidicator and put it on Trade Me when we get back from Phillip Island but I'd take $2,000 cash now. (Paid nearer $4000)

Actually it's maam (I am a woman :-)) Off to Phillip Island tomorrow for the MotoGP- back next Tues. Serviced by dealer when I got it 3 months ago, oil change etc. Before that who knows. Starts and runs well, seems fine mechanically. Torquey little V-Twin, just too tall for me to handle. No hurry, I was going to sort the indicator out and put it on Trade-me but that won't happen for 2 weeks or more. Good luck

would you consider trading my gn, then you could sell that, unless i can sell it soon to get the money.....ma'am....do you serioiusly only want 2k for it cos if you are serious i'll try sell the gn a.s.a.p......could i come look at it maybe labour weekend?? where bouts in welly are you??? ummm i don't think i'll be getting this gsxr250 so i'll try sell the gn and sweet..uh just out of curiosity, what are you going to buy as an upgrade?? i would geuss and suggest a good little vtr1000 i'm sure they have a low as seat height. any way if your free on labour weekend give me a bell and i'll come down and have a look and maybe if you would be so kind a ride.....or just show me it all works sweet..
