Dual purpose road legal sub 250cc

**DrunkenMistake** · 27th August 2013, 18:05

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a sub 250cc dual purpose bike,
Must do at least 100km/h with a fat ass on it.

Something older like an XL250 or what have you,
I want to do some casual trail rides and some middle of nowhere fishing over summer,
I also want to teach the misses how to ride, so its going to take some punishment,

Im pretty happy if it looks looks balls, so long as its a good runner and is road legal, i.e Rego runs out in a week and has a current W.O.F,

I was scoping up a 200 for a little under $400 but the seller is dicking around a little too much for my liking so I thought I would try here,

Somewhere closer to Dunedin is preferable maybe as far as Invergiggle/Oamaru,
Probably dreaming on the price but I am a tight ass after all, let me know what you have and what you want and I might be able to convince the wicked witch of our joint bank account to let me dip into it.

Cheers.

I had a xl185s that did 100 easy enough

Would be ok but in welly and would need so indicators etc and plate added so would cost 500 to road legal it.
I think 500 is going to be hard to find a road legal trail bike

Yeah im thinking you might be right,
Im in no rush so will sit back and wait I suppose,

I was looking at one and the seller was interested in $300 but he has taken the auction down and told me it has some sort of clutch issue but didnt want to go into any detail as to what it was,
if it was fuck all then I would make another offer to snatch it up haha, had a months rego left and a wof till december and was a runner.

Thanks for the link though

tf185 came out road legal you could ask this guy if the wiring harness is complete and if the speedo works. $300 in your area.

led indicators and brake lights are very cheap to get.

as long as chasis number is there and its not been stolen shouldn't be bad. Ive done 4 new plates but you need factor plate cost,6 months rego and a warrant at about maybe 350-400 now for those. indicators about 60 for 4 off tard and 30 for a tail light. You want to know what wiring bits etc still exist.

Sometimes a better budget to start is less hassle.

I can go a bit more, just been a tight ass, I was under the impression you had to have all sorts of up the fuck paperwork to get a bike vinned if it didn't have an excisting plate number and what not

free police check of chassis or vin or old plate for no interest. brake declaration if after 1991(memory only. need confirm that). then take it into testing station the rest is like a warrant of fitness.
