Welcome to Quirks post number 2! I'm racking them up! hahaha

Ok so after doing a big of research, I think I've decided that the GPX250 would be a good first bike for me. As hot as the ninja looks, I think I'd cry if I dropped it (which is bound to happen!!) and being a first bike I think second hand is the safest, and cheaper, of the options. I also read that the ZZR can be a pain in the arse and quite expensive to fix if you ding her up.

So being the biking retard that I am (yeah I'm not the most politically correct of people...no offence!), I'd love to get feedback/advice off anyone who is willing to give me some.

I did come across as GPX that I would like to have a squizz at. Here are the details:

2007 GPX250
10, 500km
4 months rego left
$5, 950

From the pics on teh site it looks to be in fairly good nick.

I obviously have no idea if something like that would be a good buy, and someone on here may even know the person selling the bike. Who knows!

So yeah any help would be great

Got a link?

If I was smart I would've put that on the initial post....oops!

Welcome to KSRC !!

The GPX250 is a good bike to learn on, that's what I had. It's a nice solid bike and pretty comfortable.

I had no problems doing my test on it, U-turns were easy

Jen

welcome aboard

Welcome to the crew, I have an 87 gpx250 which are the same as the 07, and they are great to learn on, passed real easy when i did my p's test and fun to get them through the twisties,

The bike looks great aswell, got love the flames, haha adds 10ks more

hey quirks, sounds a little high for mine maybe offer a tad over 5k...

hey red_dave, who could we get to go have a squizz at a bike with quirks??

welcome to the club

i have sent a message to nanna to see if i could con the old man into doing it but havn't heard anything back. dunno why but i trust the old barturd to get things right well once inwhile

Well I'm heading over to check it out Saturday arvo...hopefully by then I'll have convinced someone who possesses more knowledge than me to tag along (not that its a difficult concept ).

Wish me luck!

But for just over $1k more you could get a brand spanking ninja .And as for the one lady owner named Glenn

yeah i just had a look at the new ninjas and saw the price.....aarrgghh dont confuddle me! I'm soft squishy and vunerable lol

Nana...

Who else?

They are a great bike, but that's big money for one of those.

Yeah I'm starting to get that impression. Think I might go have a look at it and see what I can do price wise but it may just end up being a case of having a look at the bike and seeing in the flesh, so to speak,the type of bike I'm after. I have a bad habit of finding something I like and just going 'yup I'll have that!' . I hate shopping in every way shape and form. I go to the shop, get what I want and get the hell outta there....shopping for wheels is no different unfortunately

So much for the women love shopping theory
