    Time to flick the FXR what next?

    Ive come to the point where my lovely FXR150 well..., no longer does it for me, as ive found there is only so much i can do with it and keep up with everyone else is not one of them
    so what next? I am only thinking of a 250cc tho
    being 5'2 and all of 50kg if im lucky i need a nimble bike im going to have fun on
    the ho GT250r ive found are too big and ZZR and ZXR dont quite feel right and you will not catch me riding a bloody honda so CBR are out of the question
    any suggestions for this fussy rider?
    I've learnt to hide the pain inside, open the throttle and ride away.

    From your comment in the Fuel thread we get the impression you're racing at Manfield this weekend? If so, someone may be interested in the bike

    nah not at manfield this weekend off to a private road (closed for this very purpose so its legal) if all goes well but will still be giving it the flick even if it reaches over 140 as i cant run it on race gas all the time

    I think that's abit harsh, I'm not just saying that cause I own a Honda (I got it for a good price), but the 250 CBR's are pretty good.

    saying that, most of the 4 inline 250's are fairly the same.

    how long till your full, you might wanna hold out and get a bigger bike for the same price as a 250

    At 5'2" I'd go for an RG150.

    2 stroke, small, light and goes like a rocket (nearly twice the power of the FXR). Reliable for a smoker too.

    But that's just me.

    What do you want to use the bike for?

    Alternatively how much money have you got to spend? This will limit your choices.

    Fireball - what licence are you on?

    Your size and weight might lend itself nicely to a Zeal, or maybe a 400 if that's an option. The 250's cost about as much as the 400's so I'd suggest you look at a suitably sized 400.
    $2,000 cash if you find a buyer for my house, kumeuhouseforsale@straightshooters.co.nz for details
