GN250 in Oz

[mthee]

This company are big fans. Watch to the end for his use of the horn! No biking safety gear was hurt during the filming of this video.

Hi

The guy in the video starts by saying 'you definitely won't have seen one (GN250) like this'. I beg to differ my friend, they all look like this when turned into scrambler/bobber/brat/chopper type bikes these days. Nice enough, but where is the rest of the bike? There must be so many airboxes and rear mudguards out there somewhere.

I do love the GN250 and as the fella says they are reliable so I see why people would build lightweight customs out of them, I just wish someone would do something really original.

Is that the sound of a gauntlet being thrown down Ian. You supply the bike and I’ll defo give you something that’s original in return.
Clearly you have to supply me with said bike once my garage/workshop has been cleared out. So that gives us both a bit of breathing space 🤣👍

Ps.. there’s lots of lovely still close up pics of the same bike on bike exif site if you fancy a closer look 👍

It's a shame he didn't qualify his somewhat tenuous claim and not wishing to promote a Spartacian rant, choppers certainly can't be lumped in with the others, necessitating as they do, changes to the frame. They look very different.
Here's a very original GN which has appeared here before;

Hi Guys

Michael if I had the money I would gladly let you loose with a GN! I fancy a sort of 60s trials bike look.

Mthee I will give you choppers, yes totally different animal altogether. I suppose it is the scrambler/brat style I am having a pop at. I remember the really outlandish GN from when it appeared here before, however I won't comment for fear of being re-named Victor, as in Meldrew.

Ah well each to their own.

WELL....what can I say. I said before, that in a quirky kind of way I like the zany GN. Now I’m pretty sure I’d change my mind if I were to ride it but I do like the fact that it’s different.... DOH. Someone’s beaten us to it Ian. Ahh well can defo do the 60’s retro trials look  😉👍👍
