Look for scrapes and signs of damage from dropping the bike, if possible take the engine bolt off and see if the frame is still in line with the engine after u take it out, Tyres are expensive so get one with good tyres, make sure it's reving freeley and dosnt have flat spots(spark plugs)
Oh and I just bought a cbr250 for 1k... Needs plugs but still rides :)
pwoar thats cheap
we are shoppin for one of these at the moment

dont want to buy one & lose a lot of cash or have to sell it to buy a smaller bike. that would be bullshit! they should at least give a warning.
Just buy a cbr250 and work it... Fast enough IMO
agree. Its very chuckable into corners and around cars , and dropa few gears and you rev up make noise and go pretty fast.Quote:

HI all,
I just got my L license and wanting to get the decent learner bike which I commute to work daily for arround 25kms each way.
Looking for the options , I am tossing up between :
Hyo 250gt - cheaper / looks good / not sure about the history of its realiability
CBR 125r - cheap petrol consumption / fairing / easy to manouver / its honda so I assumed it wont have reliability issue and good value
VTR250 - love this one , pretty much the same like hyo but its honda. The only things the asking price normally above my budget $5000 with high Kms. I couldnt find it widely available.
Can anyone share what is the market price for the vtr 250 ? how much do you think the rego and/or insurance price?
Does anyone have personal experience on this bike ?
Thx guys.
Vtr 250 is a nice looking commuter - around 3-4k seems the norm. Get one and put a muffler the v twin is nice avoid a cbr250r or rr , loud overrated old overpriced bikes !
It's very hard to found the decent vtr250 for under $4000.
Do you know the 2nd hand dealer who kept the vtr?
Actually I found one ads in gumtree wanna sell unregistered black vtr for $2600,what do u reckon?
