[Joss]

Hey, ive got a suzuki katana ay50, its 55 plate and only has 2700 miles. first of all how much could i sell it for.

thanx

Probably the same as any other 2t 125 (thats if it is a 2t cant be bothered to check but from memory they are )

If you want a big bike that has good speed and acceleration how about doing your test?

im going to but the insurance for a 250 is gonna be way more than 125 isnt it? as im only 17.

[Groove]

No, you will actually have a license. (If you live in the UK??)

My insuance at 17 with my ZXR250 was ~£400 TPFT

Insurance at 17 with my CBR 600 is £1000

so whats the Derbi GPR 125 like as a whole, whats the top speed etc?

[on_one]

not heard much about them though you'll strugggle to find a second hand one and spares willl be hard to get

As a whole, you'd expect something similar or less powerful than your Mito's or RS125's as i read in a book they're meant to make a crank bhp of the mid 20's based on the engine they use. If i'm not mistaken it's based on a tuned yamaha stroker engine.

This will be more or less in line with an NSR125, so 85-90mph tops maybe?

It'd still maintain that they're nice bikes but the riding position is quite excruciating, even for me and i'm only 5'9.

In short, i think what you're buying will be more or less the same performance as the NSR but you'd struggle to find parts for it and it'll be cheaper to insure the Honda.

You asked about 250? I've got the same bike that Groove had and only paid 280 TPO for it. ZXR 250's are about 3/4 the performance of a ZXR 400.

HTH buddy

Buy my NSR 125, it's a great little bike, but alas it's time for me to move on.

2002 - 8k miles - not an import - £1650

PM me if you're interested.
