Re: Yamaha YBR250 doesn't make sense to buy
Tokyokid,
Well you certainly have got some good bargaining skills, you could put my Chinese mother-in-law's bargaining to shame! All the dealers I talked to were firm about their prices, I thought that I would only be able to get the price down about 500 RMB with hard bargaining.
Thanks for the offer to buy the bike, I've spent most of my money on my Regal Raptor DD250G-2 and new equipment so I can't afford it. Although I'll put the word around.
By the way, what top speed did you manage to get on the bike?

Yamaha YBR250 doesnt make sense to buy
Not my bike, just doing a favor for a friend. She doesnt have the manual, nor does she want to buy it. Ill be swinging by the Yamaha dealer sooner or later to get this mess figured out.

What about the SRV200?

What do those sell for, it looks to have the same engine as the TW200

Which is also shared with the Zongshen 200GY

I would take the SRV200, seem like a street version of the TW200 would be pretty good?

Does the Zonghsen run on scotch; it has an enlarged liver.
Re: Yamaha YBR250 doesn't make sense to buy
To me it’s like "hello" an engine can be a product line. One line can produce variants of the same bike, they can share components. I could see a naked version of the XRV20; a round headlight and gear cluster? It only has 14hp, but that’s all the it needs, its not for the highway.
Seriously with all the holding costs, there are tons of 2006 ZS200GY in the states selling for under $1,500.00, they could get $2,500.00 for the SRV200 version.
These people flooded the market and they are still trying to do sell them, you buy 40 and fill a container?
They are commuter bikes, starter bikes, something you buy on a whim.

Both V twins, the VT produced nearly 40 hp, yet despite its looks it failed to sell.

Japanese didn't make bikes. They made art.
