    Cheap 250 wanted

    Anything considered, but a ginny would have to be pretty damn cheap ...

    This is the sort of thing I'm probably looking for:

    .. but I'd much prefer something in or near Wellington

    I'd be round to look at that if it was local.

    My VT250F has a dead big end, and I need something to last me till I get my full in 3 - 6 months. I'd prefer something that's worth taking to a track day, and I'd prefer something I can sell for not too much less.

    I'm not really interested in something with no reg/wof.

    Anything sitting round gathering dust?

    Any opinions on particular makes and models? I've seen a 1989 Kawasaki 'EX250F3' which I gather is a variation on a GPX - is that any good? Any better than my VT (I've seen some of those too, but I'm reluctant ...)?

    Thanks,

    Richard

    Sure you want to buy a bike that you're only going to have for a short time? I mean you could save your dollars, hire abike for your test and spend the extra on a big bike.

    3 months without riding doesn't sound appealing - especially commuting ... unless you're suggesting I just risk riding a bigger bike and hope I don't get caught.

    I suppose I could just keep 'test riding' various bikes ... Doesn't help with the commute though.

    You got a real license yet Col?
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
