Just took delivery of the new one.

2002 suzuki marauder GZ125 K2 on a 52 plate

£50 Thumbs Up

i can kneedown it on a roundabout as long as i put my foot on the exhaust rather than the pegs, which is... different.

rusty chain and perished chrome here and there, but its all solid. the panels and tank are in suprisingly good condition for its age. i think it'll be a case of new chain and MOT time.

https://i52.tinypic.com/2s6a9lj.jpg

came with a brand new chain in a box and new a clutch cable

It also wheelies sort of. Only if i stand on the indian baby holder on the back and give it fuck at about 5.
No replacement for mile long R6 standups though Crying or Very sad

question: what are these things worth with tax and MOT? because as soon as the R6 is alive again, i'll either be selling it or giving it to my mummy.

i'm just an oppertunist buyer Wink

examples of others:

VFR400 NC30- £400
cagiva mito 125 - £100
R6 - £1250
etc etc

if you're after RXS's, i found one for bittern for £30, complete bike.

as for a CB250, i know of a CB250RS for £300 with tax and MOT, but not long ones, and its pretty tatty, but runs sweet.

No it's 1900% or 19 times what you paid for it.

Ebay says you will sell it for more like £800 provided it is tidy.
