1998 Suzuki RG 150 30k $1425

[Magua]

Two strokes.....Immortal? Like the RGV250 two smoker was riding and the crank decieded to sieze?

Wellington is a bit of a way to go for a test ride. I'll see what I can find up this way. They sound pretty nifty for a 150.

I was actually being specific to the RG150. Some two smokers have issues, like RGV250 cranks ,VMX250 rear pistons, T500 gearboxes. RG150 but seems to be int the tradition of the older small Suzukis (S32 f'instance, they was indestructable) that just go on forever until someone crashes them.

* I also changed the gearbox oil and put in clutch saver.

What is a clutch saver?

Current wof and reg?

[jimdaworm]

Current WOF and REG, I think only a month or so left on the REG. Clutch saver is apparently really good quality gearbox oil.
I only used fully synthetic oil in it as from what I have heard its one of the cardinal rules of owning a 2 stroke if you dont want problems... and I havent had any!


I think it has plenty of life left in it.

I actually took it for a spin 2 days ago and I thought I am going to miss this:spudguita
The smell... and its sooo light and how the power comes on all at once all at once!

Its not perfect but I think its a pretty good example as far as they go.

Like I say anyone is welcome to come and check it out and take it for a spin. I need the money to buy a small car for my girlfriend to learn to drive in.

Don't do anything rash like sell the bike just yet.

I should be taking an rg150 for a spin on the weekend.

I will hold on to it just for you, except if another kiwibiker wants to buy it :spudguita

I beg to differ - while they are FLIPPEN AWESOME machines, RG150 was the 2nd bike i ever killed. At 24,000k's.
The motor is also a direct base of the RGV250 - well the ESRR is anyhow.
Did the bottom end bearing, piston, conrod, crank, gud pin, sleave, powervalves, head....... All when she went quiet.
However for genral purpose you should triple that k figure as i wreck things. So say good for 75,000k's.

So when are you commming to buy it then?

I thought you test rode another one the other day? What did you think of it?

[Magua]

I test rode the Hamilton one, it has 17,000 more kms than Jindaworms. The Tauranga one needs work for a wof and high kms again. The other two are too far for me to go for a bike.

Pretty awesome little bikes, I don't know what you'll think of it coming from a CBR250.

I'm only looking for a race bike. Jindaworm's one is a bit flash and tidy than what I need it for. Although I'd like to get a courier job over the holidays so a road legal RG would be good

[jimdaworm]

You should be sweet finding on in Auckland Magua, I dont know how many times I wished I lived in auckland when I was looking for my cbr!
