    On road cost of $350 plus maybe loan application fee of $250-ish.

    Still, there is no fucking way I'm paying over $4k for a GN, let alone a 125cc!


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    Agreed.

    I paid $3,000 for mine new and sold it 2 years and 40,000km later for $2,700. I'm sure I would've saved more than $300 over public transport.

    list price 2700 plus on road 350

    But advertised interest free 2 years no deposit $35.00 per week.

    104 weeks is $3620.00

    I wonder what the remaining $570 covers if its not interest? Some will be paperwork fees. Could the rest be loan protection insurances?

    If it is I guess you could opt out of that.

    Could it be the first years insurance?



    Anyway

    Add $400 onroad plates etc. Ride it for a year and sell it for more than it owes you if its still registered.

    This was when I got back into riding after 10 years out. Great little confidence booster. Even took it to Rotorua and around a few times.

    I'd rather be riding a GN that not riding at all.

    I would say it will be loan protection insurance. Its likely the shop will encourage it for no deposit finance.

    How is my $550 gn125 auction going?

    Still no bids. That be a cheap way to start. Not very hard to get new plates sorted. Learner or commuter bike for under 1k and your saving bus monies.
