For Sale - RG150

**Chickadee** · 18th December 2007, 21:49

My RG's not a race bike, if someone wanted to they could deregister it, however it's an awesome RG - I'd rather see it go to a newbie to get them a good start.

$1800 for a road legal starter bikes pretty sweet when you consider most crappy 250's of older years are $4 grand or more.

Saw quite a few RG's for sale over this past year asking for more, most in crappier condition with higher miles.

Will be advertising in the local rag and probably Trademe.

$800 or $1000 for a strictly racing (deregistered) RG probably is about right.

Agreed! You also don't "quickly" get bored with them. Heaps of fun in a small bike.

Yes, I'll chip in here and say that IMHO, the RG150 is the best learner bike out there. Such a pity you can't buy them new anymore. Fast enough to do anything you want on, razor-sharp but very friendly handling, comfy to ride, very reliable if you do the basic things required to look after it.

McJim and Chickadee's Crazy Frog is a sweet little machine. At this price someone should just buy it right now.

Very easy for a nooooooooooooob to learn to work on if need be though.. Despite knowing parts as "that thing" and that "other thing" LOL

1998 RG150 32,500km.

We've had this bike for just over a year - had done 26,000km when we bought it and had a new chain, recent top end rebuild, new plug and new air filter at that time. I changed gearbox oil 2,000km ago and have kept the chain properly lubed and tensioned. Bike has nearly 3 months registration left and nearly 6 months WOF. I have replaced the shit tyres that were on it with Bridgestone BT039SS tyres (seriously sticky AND great in the wet). New clutch cable fitted (Mav snapped it about 3 months ago

). New battery fitted about 3 months ago too.

This bike has seen Hellraiser, jrandom and Chickadee through their full tests.

Reluctant sale - $1,800 ono

does the sprog come with the bike??
