    Not sure if I can post this here as the general discussion place is down. Im looking at buying a kawasaki Ninja 250, will be willing to do a trade for my silver if anybody has one for sale on the Gold Coast/Brisbane.

    I will tell you what I tell my kids..
    Forget that wii game (in your case, a cycle). Choose to be smart w/ your money(in your case, real money).

    That cycle will not exist 10, 20 yrs from now.

    Ride the silver bull!!

    While he may have his own goals and choices, I agree, don't drop the silver.

    Be stacking with that money lol

    You crazy crazy man. You've a WRX and don't use it? I'm in Perth and could use it - not buy it mind you - but could sure use it ;)

    I had one back in 97 before they became known. Fun car. Lease ended and got a 200SX (awd is great but rwd is more fun on the track). I'm getting old though - I now plod around in an old 3.5 Magna because it's cheap, has a big boot, and keeps me outta trouble heh.

    The OP's bike choice is nice too. Was the first bike I got after getting my P's (restricted to 250cc in WA) but maintenance was a bit of a pain. No bike at all now :(

    More reason to hold the silver is that your being shaken off at a loss to buy a depreciating asset. One way to ensure your stack will go to zero. Your choice though :)

    Just got my licence, so looking at getting something small to practice in, thinking of just trading my car but still seeing what is the best way to get a bike financially .

    And hotel46 thanks for the advice, I try to remind myself to stay young everyday.

    The dude- might be planning to get a bike- and not drive a car- so that the high cost of gas is not an issue- so the bike might be an investment.

    I have a 250 Ninja that I will be upgrading from within a few months. I assume you're interested in the modern 250R? Mine is a ZXR250, which is an earlier more aggressive bike. I'd be interested in chatting if you're keen. I'm in Brisbane, It's a 95 model & just clicked over 40,000km.

    I don't have a photo on hand but mine has similar styling to this except the green bits are dark blue.
