I am selling my Yamaha SRX250 as I have just bought a house (ie. have no money) and want to buy some luggage for my Gixxer. Its not the prettiest bike as it has been dropped more than once, but it handles like a dream and is very economical. Mechanically excellent but aesthetically quite challenged, it would not be a stretch to call it a rat bike. Excellent for learners, especially shorties (I am 5 foot 5 and can flat-foot it). Handles long distances with no troubles, I have ridden from Auckland to Kerikeri and back, and the bike didn't even notice. Tyres are BT45's, which seem to be ideal and stick to the road like the proverbial. Not the fastest bike by any stretch of the imagination, the powerplant is based on the yammie xt250, but this also means that getting bits replaced is really cheap.
Check my albums for pics, or search youtube for SRX250 and Waipoua Forest, and you will see a helmet cam of the bike being thrown around in the wet.
