    This seems like a bargain.

    Anyone been keen on a CBR250R but not wanting to pay the stupid 250cc prices around? This one looks like a bargain. Get in quick if that's what you're after...

    me thinks there are a few bargins around at the moment...I just picked up a CBR250R for around that price in pretty mint condition.

    Something in the water?

    Not a bad price but the bike needs a bit of work, fairly obvious from the picks it has been dropped, the rear tyre has a flat worn in the centre...

    Keep this in mind if interested
    If you can't be good, be good at it

    I just texted the guy asking about the condition and what caused the damage and he said:

    Not a long service history. Replaced engine with unknown one in 2003. Regular oil changes. Replaced wheel bearings. All scratches from a slide at a track day (on old motor, new motor not raced) that pushed the whole fairing about and cracked the front. No frontal impact.
    So he binned it bad on the track and only replaced the motor?

    I asked about the motor and:
    The old motor broke a con-rod. The new one I bought from a wrecker in Chch. I've used it since then with no problems. About 5000km since the new motor.
