rgv250 or rg150?

[crazyxr250rider]

...............
i was thinking about a TS 250 because it has the potential to be a very fast bike especially around the corners and hopefully with experience i can do that. also i want a bike that i can take to track days and have a hell of a lot of fun

Do you Mean a Suzuki TS250 they're dirt bikes arent they?

[flash]

i couldt be botherd writing two stroke, so i shortend it

[flash]

ok everyone. I'm bitting my tongue here but i might now be getting a 250 4stroke, i had a test ride and it felt a lot weirder than my two strokes (what I'm used to), shit theres just so much engine breaking though.

the way I'm thinking, ill keep it for around a year until i can sit my full and get next to no depreciation when i sell it again.

i went to taupo (track day) and there were a couple of rgvs and cbrs and they were about the same on the track

[flash]

[flash]

by the way the bike i test rode was a yamaha fzr, he wants around $3500, too dear?

From someone who's owned an RGV 250, and currently owns a CBR250RR. I would have to say that a 4 stroke 250 will probably work out cheaper if you kept it for a couple of years.

My RGV used twice as much gas as my CBR
My RGV cost me ten times as much in maintenance/repairs
My RGV was faster, but trickier to ride (I don't mind it being tricky, but I like the control I've got on the CBR)
The RGV was a lot cheaper to buy (RGV $2k, CBR $5k)
The RGV sounded like a lawnmower
The CBR sounds like a real engine, (and an absolute screamer when you take it up high)
The RGV smoked a fair bit

Although if you could find a relatively new two stroke 150, I personally would be keen on giving one a go.

Also I've just found out about the streetstock racing class. Check here for info: http://www.vicclub.co.nz/tiki-read_a...p?articleId=68
It allows 4 stroke 250s and 2 stroke 150's, cheapest decent racing class out there.

i always thought a two stoke 250 would be good because it would teach me alot about bikes...like their cruelty and brutality.. but at least it would make me a very competent rider

Get an old 80 Several times I wheelied it to the point of landing on my back. The older 80s had no powervalves so they were very brutal. Very fun bikes though
