Lol dude.
A Suzuki RR costs $200.
Labour? Unplug, Undo 2 10mm bolts, swap RR, Tighten bolts, plug in.

You paid labour? Funny.

Like it was said before, GSXRs are the most crapest bikes in production, they don't even have strong frames

Wheelchairs rust (see pic as absolute proof). and they only do 12 rpm so are dangerous when going up hills coz you revving nuts off it ay.

I wouldnt recommend wheelchairs to noobs - they would be better off starting with a Zeal then upgrading.

According to the announcer/mc at the Cold Kiwi a few years ago the Mighty GN250 won the wheelie competition several years running, can't be too bad then.

I tell everyone a Gn250 isnt a good bike for noobs and this is what I get? Im sure all of you are nice people but theres no need to get all pent up about this. Everyone just chillax.

yeah yeah, GN's are terrible bikes for noobs, the amount of power they can output is just too much for learners to handle!

Still, getting yourself involved in a pointless fight with someone who proved themselves as much of an idiot as you could have been a good idea; it's just a shame one of you didn't kill the other, from an evolutionary perspective ...

Why would he hate bikers in general? If a car driver beats me up I wont get angry at car drivers. Just that one person. If he sees me in traffic again I will just ignore him and get out of his way as quick as possible.

NOobs if you are thinking of getting a 250 please look

GN's are learner/commuter bikes.
Its function is to be cheap to purchase and cheap to run. It does these things quite well, when properly maintained.
You can't say that something is crap because it won't do something it was never designed to do... Sportbikes aren't particularly cheap to buy or run either, everything is a compromise.

You clearly haven't grown up yet, try to be mature about this sort of thing. I'm not trying to troll you, you really need to listen.

//edit By the way, in that photo, the one on the left is a Honda CBX125 from 1985, it's an old small capacity bike, what do you expect?

Slyer, I respect that you are being honest and I thankyou for that now I can see how you could mis interpret that opinion, If I may.

I am not expecting it to be a sport bike, but really what is it made for? Around town the revs were fairly heavy just cruising in over-drive (5th) and around suburban area. I found the commute to be quite un-comfortable revving it to get up and go from the lights to be able to keep up with average cars going the speed limit. It cost me so much, I out of my genuine intentions hope a Learner doesent experience the extreme rage it brings with costs and corrosion. I really do think the Gn is over rated I once thought it was the bees knees so I speak as a ex converted owner.
