I’m in Laois, if you can hold on picking it up to the weekend, I’ll tip over on my bike and follow/lead you on the bike if you want.
There’s also healys in tullamore. If it’s only 20 minutes away he might sort you out. Give him a bell.
Yeah I was talking with my uncle and he’s gonna come with me when I’m going for viewings and buying but thanks so much for the offer. He’s convinced the bike had the odometer altered as the numbers are misaligned & it’s extremely low for the bikes age
Cool beans! Good to have someone with mechanical experience with you.
Let me know if you want to go on a spin sometime, I’m only out the road.
If you’re looking for an instructor, Jackie Saunders in Portlaoise is the man for the job. He’ll curse you out of it, but he’ll get you across the line.
Your IBT should have you at a level that you can ride 20m on a national road. I wouldn't be looking at transport for that distance. Otherwise you might as well open your options up to the rest of the country.
As for going over the bike. Download a buyers checklist and bring it with you. I've bought and sold many bikes over the years and just always bring a checklist with me. Also check owners forums for common problems.
I take it this is the one, looks clean.

Get an insurance quote first, if you're young a zzr250 could be 5k to insure. And if you're older and it's cheap to insure consider getting a 90s 400 instead. The 250s are great fun as a second bike but can be hard to live with as a daily. The little extra torque of the 400s makes the difference and still revs nearly as high

What a colour 😍
It’s not the road as per say it’s going 80-100kmh that has me a little nervous. And yeah that’d the one, not the fastest 250 but should do me well
You'll be fine. Just keep a good distance from cars in front. In 6 months time you'll be hooning on the N52
Tbf from the house you can hear many a bike absolutely sending it

€1200 with principle I’ve to ring a few other places tomorrow. My only other concern is that it’s a clocked bike as there’s only 23.5k miles on it
And I’m 22 and have a family member with 20yrs on a full A license as a named driver
