Look what I got offered for my FXR

[Antallica]

Some chick emailed me a little while ago with this:

1998 Suzuki RG150 - 2 Stroke
11,00km - Quicker than CBR250 to 100km/h apparently she says
Looks like she wants to do a straight swap.

I think I'll decline

[SPman]

Well, they are the best/fastest of the Suzi. 150's!

You should at least test ride one Ant.
For a private sale, she should get $2500 - $2800 I recken.
You can get nice ones for around $2000, but not at 1100kms!
It will be interesting to see how much that NSR250 goes for.

[Antallica]

Yeah I might see if she will let me take it for a spin.

It's not the bike for me though, just a bit too ugly and loud for me.

dude, You should tell her that instead of wasting her time.

Man things are so layed back in Whangarei, why would you want anything bigger than your FXR anyway?

More power f00!!

To be more specific: More power in the top end, better sound, fatter tyre

[Andrew]

yeah but thats the whole point in Whangarei. You get in this state of mind where ur so relaxed that you don't actually need any more power.
I used to live in Gisborne and all you need down there is a 50cc scooter.

come on Andrew... all any of us NEEDS is a 150 stroker or 250cc machine (excl. maybe blokes like Bigdog!) It's all about what we WANT!

Some want it green, some want a rumbly V-Twin, some want a jappa Missile and some people inexpicably want harleys.

We all just have to find the balance between want and wallet

Shhhhh! FFS, CK, STFU! How on earth am I supposed to convince the missus that spending several grand on a bigger bike next year is *vital* and *necessary* when irresponsible loudmouths such as yourself harm my cause by posting this kind of twaddle?

Honestly, I don't know what the world is coming to.

Repeat after me, folks: "Everybody needs a 'Busa, don'tcha know, everybody needs a 'Busa..."

[Andrew]

ahh yes the good old needs and wants. I guess its just basic human nature to want more than what we actually need.

Looks like there's one for sale at the local car rental place down the road. It's a RGV150 though - spokes!
