Hi is there anyone up in nelson who might be able to have a look at this Suzuki gsxr 250 for me? If so you are awesome .

Seems to be some strong supporters of the vt 250 around too so not sure what is the better bike for me.

Went to look at the sr250 today with my mechanically inclined mate. Goes ok but could do with a new carburetor some time in the near future. I think I might go for this one. Feels nice and comfy. Then sell in a few months once I have more money and confidence and get something more interesting.

Thanks for all your comments.

Find a bike wrecker and go looking for the bits you need ... cheaper there than new from the dealer. Start asking questions now, wont be supprised later. Dont spend too much on it... save the money for a bigger better bike... later...

And the winner was ... sr250.

I'll be sweet on this simple thing and it will be easier to fix if anything wears out than most other bikes. No liquid cooling or anything to worry about. I'm starting a job in November so in a couple months I'll be able to buy something faster and newer when I can ride better, like a newer vt250f.
