Recommendations on brand-new commuter bike - maybe a GN250???

[RantyDave]

Gotta say the Yamnaha Scorpio. Only a couple of hundred more than the GN

Really? How much are they? Where can one be prodded and bought? I have two mates looking to pick up a 250 in the next couple of weeks...

$3700 an summat + ORC . yamaha Waikato are pushing on here, though I imagine that the Wellywood Yammy dealers will be getting them also. I gather they're a "full blown" addition to the yammy range not just a one off import.

EDIT. But i don't see them on the Yamaha NZ web site so maybe that's wrong.

Call your local yamaha dealer.

blackwoods in cambridge have a couple. i had a look at them - look pretty smart with nice zorst and finish looks much better than a gn - they can evn leave them out in the rain!

if anyone's looking, they also have an XJR1300 naked with 75kms on the clock for $9990

Its quite hilly, and its open road so not very safe

( in reply to the pushbikeing coment.)

the gn is ~ 3500 aparinlty so is quite an appeling price.

If he/she has an open license and finds a GN appealing ON ANY LEVEL then there is NO HOPE! Run! Distance yourself! It's not too late.........

Dont you get these in N.Z? They`re quite neat but over-priced,nearly the same as a GS500,how about one of those?

Nope, not sold in NZ.

$3700 an summat + ORC .

Gotcha - http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=37074

And that compares to a GN being $3300+ORC? If they can get them in the shops the GN's will be history.
