I am now the proud owner of a GF250. Well, not yet the proud owner, as I have only just put it through TradeMe tonight...but near enough.

So excited!!!!!

And big ups to 2much for checking it out for me

Oooooooh GF two fiddy, good choice. Naked, fast for your learners, and ugly enough to not get stolen

Seriously though, congrats on the new bike, wish mine sounded like that.

Damn UrbanMyth, don't you sleep?

..you should hear my bike, now that I've got a new exhaust.. does anyone like the sound of big singles? eg. Suzuki S40? Mine is sounding fairly similar..

Woohooo! New bike! Have fun with it.

I bought my bike before I had my licence. I spent a few weeks practising in deserted carparks to get the hang of it before I felt confident enough to do my BHS.

congrats.. make sure ya post up some pics! =)

"watercooled, 33kW, 155kg, 19km/L, 165km/hr."

The numbers look very similar to the Honda VT Spada. A friend of mine had a VT and that was a great learners bike. Enjoy.

It's not one of these is it? This looks CBR/ZXR quick, at least in a straight-line.

Awwww so the GN250 missed out of being in your garage....

Have fun learning to ride your new bike... and we will all see you out there on the roads soon.

Make sure your other half rides her carefully back from Turanga and doesnt thrash her... that will be your job..

Pic's of the bike too please.

Hmmm inline 2 cylinder? I thought so to but there are 4 header pipes coming out of the engine??

2 per cylinder hmmm I dunno.

33kW/45 hp from an inline-2 sounds an amazing engineering feat. What does it sound like? A twin or a IL4? Does an IL2 sound like a twin?
