Need 250

[MikeL]

$2500 for a bike you're going to use for two months... That's O.K. if you're sure you'll get back what you pay for it.
Again I don't want to advise you to do something illegal but if it was me...

...I love pushing the envelope...

Just how big do you think the envelope on a GN250 is?

You'll be right on the limit just riding down to the shops

my point exactly plus there is the cool looking bike issue . As for a bigger bike i don't ming pushing the licence boundry but the problem is if i crash it then insurance will say i was riding outside the bounds of my licence ect ect ect and so won't pay

Exactly what I was thinking. When you're a rich cunt, then yes you can afford to take the chance with the whole licence thing.
But when you're a student you just don't have the security to bail yourself out of trouble. I suggest try and stay legal until you can be comfortable that you can bail your way out of an accident. You may aswell not pay for insurance if you're riding illegaly. A false sense of security could be bad.

Well, I guess the cool looking bike issue is relevant. There is a difference between a bike you can push and a fast bike. I used to push the CB125 and MZ pretty damn hard along scenic drive. They were a touch slow for some parts of it, but.... An RG150 may be the best bike for some parts of that road. Anyway, rambling aside, you can push any bike hard, and have fun on it. (see bucket racing) As I see it its really a question of a good looking bike, and the ability to go on a few longer rides on faster roads. If you can give that up for a couple of months, I would go for it and buy something really cruddy. Its winter anyways. Get a better thing when you get your licence.

So if you can afford no insurance and a $400.00 fine when you get caught
on a larger cc bike, then .....tempting though.

I went through a warrent of fitness stop on my R6 when I was on registricted
and I was so nervous after the cop checking it over that when he said
o.k, when I went to take off I stalled it...which made me even more nervous and I stalled it again...by then i'm sure the cop was getting suspicious I couldnt get away quick enough after that.....In the meantime another cop got my husband on his R1 !!

Honestly - in all the time I was riding on my learners - I never once got stopped to check what size bike I was riding. I think the biggest problem you will face is when you have an accident or get caught speeding etc - and then they do the checking.

Well maybe my husband was an exception to the rule....cos he was pulled
over randomly and the lady cop went off and did a check (or whatever they
do) and came back all hypo saying "what size bike is this!!" as if it was a
crime against her personally....er a 100cc hehe. But hubby was honest and
said it was a 1000 cc

There is also
this in the parts section on Trademe. 1991 Across says he'll wof and reg. Dunno if it's what you're after but may be worth looking into further.

"the bike itself has done 198000 km"

Tell me that is a typo

Yeah, that was my initial reaction too, but seeing as he mentions it's had an engine change, I suppose it's a bit negated.

A mate of mine has a CBX250 (single) to sell.........well hell its better than a GN and it will do in the mean time.
