. I want something cheap but a sports 250 that will take me to wellington from Tauranga with no struggles on the motorway. Something reliable that will keep me intrigued for age so I don't have to go through the rigmoral with my wife of getting a new bike. Was wanting to spend no more that $4500.00. Looking at a 250 bandit suggestions please guys.

Steve555. How many threads have you started along the lines of "Which 250 should I buy?"

It would have been quicker if you had started one thread saying - I'd like to buy a 250 bike - I want to use it for x, y & z and anticipate an annual mileage of n.

My budget is $f.

Go buy a used VTR250 and then upgrade to a Ducati when you get your full - this is the only advice I can give you coz it's what I did.
