welcome to the madhouse
the trading point on this site has a large turnover but if you're not wanting to wait touring the showrooms is a good bet, as is checking bikepoint.

I cut my teeth on one of those bikes, same year too. I hated the graphic striping (like this example) along the side of the fairings so I stripped them down and painted them black with a soft red pearl through it, came up real nice & shiney, then applied some more modern looking graphics...only had the gixxer250 for 7 months before I couldn't resist any further and upgraded to a gixxer750.

Enjoy the new ride herp!
