    Hi,

    My names is Bryce and I recently purchased a 81 gsx250 that I plan on making a cafe/brat bike with.
    I live in South East Melbourne so if anyone is keen for a ride let me know. I am currently having a issue with the startor motor (I think) and will have it fixed soon, hopefully!

    They are great looking bikes for a cafe build. Do you have workshop?

    Welcome Bryce. I'm in Oakleigh South, but the weather's shyte at the moment, so no rides just yet. Might try and organise a ride down to the Island Classic later this month (I'll post that in the right area of the site).

    Also, Streetmaster, I've got a 1980 GSX250 in the shed that I'm planning on getting going soon. Do you mind if I pick your brain occasionally? Unlike Bryce, I'm going to keep the original look. I might post a few pics.

    Where abouts are you located? I may have a small job if you want it?

    No probs, as long as you're willing to pay the call out fee up front! :p

    I dragged the GSX out last night and took a pic. Started on choke but not running 100%. Might pull the carbs off and give them a clean when I get some time (?).

    Bike looks good, probably needs a good run ?? One great thing about naked's, easy access to most parts......I like that

    Yes, it is in good condition. Needs new decals, but otherwise pretty tidy. Lovely little bike. Might have to sell it if I can't make time to ride it.

    You're right Phil. Compared to working on the ZXR it's a real pleasure. No need for monkey fingers or scrapped knuckles working on this old girl.

    Easy to work on..........easy to ride as well with a more upright riding position, you can cruise all day. Think I'm a fan :thumb_ups:
