done by others...GB250

[rude]

trolling through ebay (as you do) I came across these GB250's put together by a local Bike Co.
Both are $10,990 ($Oz)
Now I figure my XS has just put on a couple of percentage points in value

Too expensive but they look nice.

What kind of person pays 10 grand to have someone's logo on the side of their bike?

 

[Travis]

Really rich people who see something they like and don't care about the price or logo.

Dude, you need a logo and a few rich customers. Then you'd be the next OCC or Jessie James....

I don't see it being that off the wall. Nice bike and looks like its got some good money into it. Like I have said before quality built bikes pull a premium. Hacked up look at me I just bought a welder at harbor freight bikes don't,unfortunately there the ones people buy then they get on here scoping out info on how to fix the tird they just bought for 2g. Sorry rant over lol.

Okay, my curiosity is up, was this bike ever sold new in the USA? Do these bikes share parts with the Rebel 250?

 

[grizld1]

Nope, the GB250 never made it to the States. The big brother to those machines, the GB500, was sold here for a couple or three years, and didn't make much of a mark, as it was produced before the vintage bike fad came on strong. They were pretty bikes, worth a lot now due to rarity, but anyone who bought one expecting that a modern Japanese motor would make the bike perform like a Matchless G50, BSA Gold Star or B50, or Velocette Venom Thruxton was in for a big disappointment. Mods to those 250's are minimal, and they're grossly overpriced.
