Wanted: Suzuki FXR150 or similar

**El Lanzo** · 29th March 2008, 23:18

Hey there, recently convinced my parents to buy me a motorbike

After doing some research (this will be my first bike), I'm fairly certain a Honda CBR250 or any other nice 250 will suit me. I will basically be using it to commute to and from school, around the North Shore, and maybe a bit of motorway use. I'm about 1.93m tall (6ft5?) and weight 80kg, i tried sitting on one the other day and it seemed fine..
I've ridden my mates Honda CBR250 and i managed fine.

So basically i was wondering if anyone is selling a CBR250, FXR250, GSXR250, GPX250 or any other sporty type 250 or MAYBE even a FXR150/RG150 if i get desperate (Please no cruisers like gn250, just don't like the look tbh lol). I have a budget of about $2650 give or take a bit depending on the bike and condition. (I've got my gear and insurance money already). Would prefer if it had WOF and Rego. Thanks in advance, El Lanzo.

Oh and my email is lanz111@hotmail.com if you wish to email me pictures or anything.

Thought there'd be quite a few people trying to sell their FXR's lol

for your size and weight, fxr may be a we bit gutless.
what about a bandit or other naked 250's?

I might sell mine during late June or July...

Umm yeah, i guess, a bike is better than no bike. Na i really want/need one now! lol

I say you should go for a full 250 rather a 150.

250 will suit your height better

If your interested I've got a GPZ250R for sale (theres a thread around here somewhere I'll bump it to the top after posting this). Four stroke 250 and although being older the the fxrs your looking at will give you more power and I'd say would suit your size alot nicer (I'm smaller in weight and height than you and the RG150 I had was a small bike from my point of view). And I can sort you out a significantly lower price than you budget.

Otherwise I'd say keep looking for 250's over the 150's, as well as suiting better they will take longer before your bored of them.
