Z250SL

Post by alx123 »

Went to a Kawasaki dealer here yesterday and got smitten by their Z250SL.

SL stands for super lightweight.

This is a single version of their Z250 twin.

The price is not so bad, Kawasaki bikes are cheaper in Thailand.

Now, how to convince the wife is the problem.

Im actually more smitten by the price than the bike itself.

The bike will cost just the same with my pcx on finance. Kawa dealer interest rates are lower.

Btw photo ia the twin 250. They dont have stock for the single, but decal is the diff and a little in weight.

Coronary artery disease Mr. Chin that was my ticket to ride again. Of course they can fix everything heart related these days so it's the perfect ailment to get you back into street bikes.... WOOT!
Wouldn't wish it on a dog but if some potentially life threatening health condition does surface someday your woman will let you have anything ;)

WOT?

She said I can buy it, but I could not keep the PCX.

What a dilemma..

It does look nice. Get it and say you are going to keep one.

Tough decision. Think things over well before you make the leap. . .and ask yourself those questions that need to be answered to maintain harmony in the universe. ;)

FWIW there is life after marriage and you no longer have to deal with a "second opinion". :lol:

As they say. . ."the world is your oyster". :lol:

All that being said if you have children then their needs are the priority and everything else comes second. It's just the way it is. . .. 8)

You are a young man Mr. Chin
PCX might slow you down before your time.
We could see you back here in a few years if you can't keep both.
Is there no possibility for this even if you gave the PCX to her?

Now that is a good idea.

I hear ya guys..

I would love to have the added power of the 250 but the PCX is so easy to use in Bangkok's traffic esp with a pillion.

A 250 would be fun, but i think it should be an alternate bike instead of a replacement for the pcx.

Can't have em both at the Moment.

But we can never be so sure..

If you have sensitive ears move on. . ..

But I think this is hilarious and kind states your dilemma. :lol:

Stupid me. . .I misquoted. The movie is "Ruthless People". The snippet I got from YouTube referred to "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and the actor Judge Reinhold was in both. . .among other flicks of that era. Haven't watched either of them in a long time. . .hence the confusion. :?
