Say no more....
Value is in the eye of the person parting with the cash... If you still have it mid to end of february I may be interested

the purple is rather offensive but i think the silver and black with pink strips on my other one is worse i think close 2.5k is a fair price for it its only done just over 2000kms prbly less than 2000 if the speedo was acurate its only just run in

150cc, 180kph you say?

And yeah, GPX speedo only has 200 clicks, 30 of which are completely useless

Spoken like a true cage driver. More cc does not mean more speed. Especially not when you bring 2 stroke technology into the mix. Remember a 2 stroke engine will probably put out nearly double the horsepower of the equivalent 4 stroke (RG150 = 2T Single Cyl 37hp versus FXR150 = 4T Single Cyl 20hp).
2 stroke 250s are scary wee bastards.

I'm actually just remembering that cagiva mito guy who had equiv acceleration to me but couldn't get past 140

if you want 3k for it you will be waking up in a sticky bed...(wet dream)

you SHOULD get $1500>>> $2500 tops...

About right I think, but you never know your luck in a big city.

I Know for a FACT ( www.cliffhanger.org.nz ) that my one got to an indicated
ONE HUNDRED and NINTEY KAYS!
Speedo was lying tho, it was really only doing just short of the ton, 160.68kph.
That was with the numberplate taken off too.

Oh, and my old GSX250 went 161.83 as its best time :P

If anyone wants to see how fast thier bike goes for real (and speedos REALLY LIE) there is another event on soon.

Also two stokes generally run less compression and have other factors that make them less than a true 2x a four stroke.
Rallysport use engine cc time 1.8 for twostrokes and rotaries (never seen a 2stroke out there...) whats that, 270cc? works out about right actually....

Reminds me of racing 150's with wee Paul, he crashed in front of me at the sweeper at Manfeild (twice) and then told me in the pits that you can't get around the corner at an indicated 220km/h.


Just my 2c on the thread: There is a distinct difference between what something is worth and the price you will get for it at sale time.
There's a sucker born everyday and for every sucker there's the equivalent wise man.
