Manawatu Rant n Rave

[HornetBoy]

Have you guys seen the price they want for a 2nd hand 250 nowdays, bloody robbers
Thought we may as well buy a new one, shell keep it for about 12 months untill she gets her full and then get her a real one
Hoping to not loose too much coin on a new bike considering they are getting between $3000 and $4500 for something about 15 to 20 years old

absolutely crazy eh! ,but it goes both ways as they really dont loose their price when you come to sell them,when i brought my 250 hornet it cost me $6k and when i sold it i got exactly that back which was good.
what 250cc are ya looking at buying ?

Check out the mess this bike made of a 4WD. Its was just up the road from where I live. 37 year old rider died in hospital.

No flames planned for the ZG mate, and not too much more bling either now that the misses has her licence and we have ordered her new bike

Sweet.

You're not wrong - trying to get another mate into it too. They get better resale than harleys! Saw a GSX250 in phils for $5,500 with 20,000 k's on it - they were only $5,500 new!

Saw them too, you think thats expensive check out Freedom Hondas 250 cc prices, a brand new GPX was cheaper, no shit

Yea been watching trade me for about two months now, theres no way i,m paying 3k to 4k for a twenty year old 250cc bike

Had a look in coleman-suzuki before,used hornets are crazy price wise.Mate traded his scorpio on a suzi c50,got good $ for it,mind you only 2005 model and 3-4000km on it,he was happy with trade considering the suzi price fest promotion.

Damn, another one, but if it's like the article says, the bike was going along Kelvin Grove and thats the road that is straight, Roberts Line comes onto it. I'm picking the git in the 4WD turned to go up Roberts Line right in front of the bike.

As you already know I don't really mind what it is as long as its not that disgusting Green colour.

Perhaps like minded people could form a club called KRAPI (Kawasaki Riders and Pushers Incorporated)
