I need one for June so I can do my A2 test on it...

So I need to get it and do it up before hand.

Anyone got one?

Ideally looking for a?

Z250
XT250

or any 250.

please ask about

plan to pay upto 300 for a project, restoration.

you cant take an A2 test on a 250.
you have to take it on a 125 & then once passed, you can ride any cc bike up to 33BHP.(or have any cc bike restricted to 33BHP).

dont know how old you are , but at 17 you take the A2 on a 125, ride a 33 bhp for 2 years then can go for what you like(ins generally restricts what you can ride at 19, but its feasable to be riding a busa for instance.)


instead of looking for another bike, get some training on a school 125 & use that for your test-works out far cheaper in the long run.

Got the CG 125, and had a good amount of practice on it, including the 550.

Plan is...

Ride a 250 for a year then at 18 ride the kawasaki zephyr w/ restrictors.

I got the 125 to take the test just need a 250 to accualy use for a year.

Thanks for advice.

Why not just put the restrictors in the 550 straight away? Would cost less than buying and doing up another bike.

900 pound a year TPFAT no thank you. lol

buy a 250 project = 300 quid

I know people who powder coat for me and cut any steel stuff i want for free.

parts = 150 quid

insurence = a darn lot less than 900.

I will be emigrating early may and have a CB250 RSA (1980, kick start - if you search for my posts you'll get some idea of the work it's already had done) which I need to be rid of late april (need it till then unfortunately).

I have offered to a friend of a friend, am waiting to hear back from them, otherwise it'll be going on here

If not, theres a couple of z250s on Fleabay
