Hi - I was looking at jackets and things on trademe a month ago. Then I went into Cycle Treads adn they had several $300+ jackets at 50% price as end of line (big choice of sizes, styles and colours too - armourtek general ones and italian racing style). Even new an offer for the dririder aspen was only $170 - I've seen some people after that kind of cash on trademe. Some boots were down from $150 to only 49 bucks - although only in size 9.
So I would definitely look in the shops first.
Both Mt Eden cycels and Haldanes here also offered me great deals on gear if I bought a 2nd hand bike - either free kit with a CB250 or 1/2 with cheaper bikes - worth a think.
Also they had 94 GN250s for $2700 - with the security of buying from a dealer. Pays not to write off the shops too early and rush to trademe, although I have also seen many overpriced bikes in the shops too.

... having said that I got me a trademe bike and boots in the end anyway

Thanks for the Advice 90's, i recently checked out a couple of shops and some of the gear was a fair bit cheaper than i had originally expected, however these shops seemed to be very bare bones when it camer to <250cc Bikes...a little dissapointing, the only place i have seen any really was about a month ago in Lower Hutt at TSS and they seemed to only stock Hyosung Bikes @ $5000+ and a Yamaha Scorpio(i think) at $3750+ Onroad Costs. Both of these far out of my price range. finding a low CC bike in the wellington region for under 2500 bux seems to be a mission!!

90s may i ask how much your Rg150 cost??

pm JeremyW. he is selling an rg150. its 1600, but it's in aucland so you'll probably be looing at 300ish to bring it down

Thanks for the Headsup mafu1!

will certainly have a chat to him but am a little wary of buying sumthing before i say it

My RG cost $1500 but I consider it a real bargain. The previous owner had paid $1900 a few months before, but dropped it, although the damage was minimal (wing mirrors smashed etc). It was out of brake fluid and needed little things but after I spent a two hundred bucks was A1 (OK - B1).
I have seen loads on Trademe recently (one on at the mo for $2400 - bit high that one) but I reckon at the moment around <2k is OK.
Certainly better (for me - comfort, style, speed) than a 250 cruiser.
And 250 sports are 3.5k - too rich for my blood yet.
Good luck finding a decent cheap bike!
