Hi - I'm an expat Kiwi living in Western Australia - 50 miles out of Perth. Past Suzukis are a T250-II Street Scrambler, back in the day, an A100 a while ago, which was fun and a couple of GSXR1000s......all the other smokers were Yamaha's (YL1 - 100 twin, DS3) and Kawasaki's (S2, H1B) Currently ride an XJR1300

My wife had a T20 way back when......she currently rides an FZ1, and still has her first brand new bike (a '73 CB350 Honda)

Currently have a 77 GT250, which would probably run if I cleaned the carbs, etc, with lots of spare parts (most of another bike - and a NOS tank the same colour.), waiting to be put back on the road and an RG250, which doesn't get much use. The RG was rebuilt from a wreck (firing loom fire, apparently) by a clever chap who resprayed the bike with spray cans - it was a WW replica so he did his own rendition of the scheme, (he had to replace a lot of the faring panels) all masked and painted - no decals here! Well done Matt. It will need a spruce up shortly, but, in the meantime, it's fun to ride (when I can get out on it)! The end cans are of an RGV 250.

One of my sons had an RG250 for a while and I think we exhausted the supply of good fairing panels and mufflers in Melbourne. Awesome little bike. As I recall it was as fast as my RD400 and handled way better.

Welcome
