Hi!

Theres a 1998 GPX 250 for sale down the road with only 23k on the clock.
It comes with rego but no RWC.
Is there anything particular I should look for whilst inspecting this model bike?
It looks immaculate (A1) and lady owner has had it for 6months and done 800km since last RWC.

Any advice would be hugely appreciated! :D

ask the local kawasaki dealer to do a pre purchase bike inspection costs around $80 , they'll go over it and let you know if it needs anything i.e wheel bearings , shocks , steering head bearings , compression test motor ect . I've had a few done in the past on different bikes and money well spent i say.

I think the guys have it spot on. My first road bike was a GPX2fiddy and I had no clue what to look for, turns out she had a few problems I wasn't aware of so when in doubt go to the pro's! ^^
