[motorbyclist]

the majorty of them still seem to be running

no, the majority you see running still seem to be running

the rest, well let's just say it isn't hard to get GN parts

buy My Bike You Know You Want To!!!!!

what sorta bike, and what's your price? if it's in my range i'd consider it (i mean, obviosly.. from my initial statement, opening this thread - "i don't want a GN", to me now saying, i like the look of the black one, is a lot... hehe, so i would prob consider it.. fire away bud!

hehe... Ouch! so no go for the GN? back to the start. haha. see u all at squiggles' place then!

[motorbyclist]

GN might be the go, but of course you DID start the thread saying you didn't want one

[Zim_Invader]

hehe! that'd be true. then ofcourse, yui just had to introduce the cafe racer concept to me, and the gn became (dare i say it), kinda attractive! both as a quick, cheap, first, run around bike to be dropped countless times at little major cost to the owner. the sort of rust bucket u'd put to the rain rather than the semi cool, other bike you have.. (so the thought dawned on me, anyway).

what t do. i'm a confused little bugger. a lost soul in this, beautiful and dangerously additive world! (and all i wanna do is have 2 wheels and a motor under my seat)

^^^ Exactly what a GN is perfect for

I had a GN to start on, 2 months of good fun learning and then jumped on my CBR and it's all good. I think that was a good way to start. Remember you will be able to re-sell whatever starting bike you get within weeks if you wanted for about the same price. I sold mine for more

[motorbyclist]

no srsly, that fxr is mint

check it out and BUYNOW it asap

(less than ideal for a coro loop though - this is a mint commuter but too small for big trips)

way overpriced, he'll never make the money back on it

[motorbyclist]

hardly - they usually go for 2400 in much worse condition than that

buynow is slightly overpriced - BUT it's mint and has a fitted alarm

yes if he drops it it'll lose value

i wager a round of beers at the next chiller that it reaches 2600 or higher or is taken down prematurely (assumedly due to high offer) - deal?

I would but its highly likely he sells it to someone who hasnt a clue... given that as a 6 foot + dude he's saying:

Top speed is around 150-155kph which is very fast for a 4-stroke 150cc bike.

!
It is not hard to get parts but takes agggees to get them! (ok it's only a week, so I shouldn't complain like other people who need to wait for couple months to get thier parts...)

as a quick, cheap, first, run around bike

It won't be quick but Cheap and Fun!!!

Mmmmm Suzuki works colour... But 2800 seems very expensive.
