    I would say.There is a possibility that hes seen the endless ads for old Sportys for the same money and thought "fuck it nothing ventured nothing gained".

    Seen them advertise many 250 hornets at 8k+

    The worst thing is people still seem to be buying them at that sorta price

    In their defence I suppose most of the 250 hornets you see are 10+ years old and people charge $6,000. This one is only 3 years old but the lack of kms suggests it has been sitting so there may be corrosion inside the cylinders and on other moving parts that would normally be protected by a film of oil.

    Personally I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole if I was a learner. I would get a VTR 250 with 8hp less or a Spada with about the same hp and bags more torque. I would then have $5K+ to play with.

    for that price I would want the 3 cars in the photo as well.

    Paid a little more than half that for my bike from same company. They were bloody good too.

    Fucking hell.. that's a nuts price for a Honda Hairnet.

    A 250 buyer could have my RS250 for that price.
    It's only when you take the piss out of a partially shaved wookie with an overactive 'me' gene and stapled on piss flaps that it becomes a problem.

    That's a good point. This baddest fastest easily available roadgoing 250s are the Aprilia RS250, Suzuki RG250, Yamaha TZR250 and the Honda NSR250.

    And you can pick them up for less than $10K

    Or more, if you're feeling generous.
