Hey everyone.
I just bought my first bike. After several disapointments I finally have secured the right to my own bike. Un believable!!!
I Scored a 1991 Suzuki Bandit fresh from Japan, all road registared and Wof'd with only 14,000 on the odo, for $3000.
It was off trademe and I was the sole bidder. Again un believable! I thought these bikes were fetching allot higher and everyone wanted won!!!

I take possesion in the next week or so and I can't help but feel I've got a way with a steal?

What do you all think???

I think you are very lucky.

[R6_kid:Me]

sounds like a pretty good deal mate, well done

[Steam]

This must be it, just finished on Trademe

Good deal.

[Taz]

It's still hard to believe that a 17 year old 250cc bike sells for 3K let alone more. It's a captive overpriced market. Supply and demand I suppose.

[YellowDog]

Blimey mate.

Sounds like a blinding deal.

I'm amaxzed he didn't have a reasonable reserve.

Well done.

[PirateJafa]

About the same as what I had my Bandit for - bought it for $500 more but 2,000km less from a dealer.

Fucking nice bikes.

[HDTboy]

A 17 year old bike that's only done 14'000KM. Sounds too good to be true.

What he said....make sure you check the condition of the brakes, chain, sprockets etc are in good condition, no perished rubber or strange coloured brake fluid.

[crazybigal]

yeah well all the kids want sports bikes to look cool!
what they dont know is the bandit has the gsxr250 motor in it anyway.
3k is a fairly good deal.
enjoy, bandits are great little screamers

[Sofa]

haha, I know who you are jimmyj!!

[McJim]

$3,000 is very good from a dealer - I would have thought from the price that it was a private sale. Well done.

[Boob Johnson]

Ill say well done when you report back in a few months once you get to know the bike better

[Zuki Bandit]

Woohooo. another Bandit rider

Good stuff mate!

[JimO]

funny thing people are congratulating poster#1 on a good deal when in fact its probably more than its really worth and the inflated prices the dealers are asking is only fuelled by the buyers paying their prices because they have to have a cbrrrblabla the arse has to fall out of the 250 market with the new ninja being 7k new it makes 15 year old 250s at 5 or 6 k look like a total waste of $$
