BIKE RECOVERED!
Well, for the second time in my motorcycling career, my bike has been stolen.
1994 YZF750R, sometime last Thursday/Friday night. REG:82WEZ
It's of little value to most, dead battery, worn front tyre and especially since they left the rear seat and fairings behind. So I have a sneaky feeling it may been a act of spite against me by a person whom I'm working to find.
Pic provided of her better days, imagine bike sans fairings.

In the riders seat
Is that the one you got off TP a few years back?

Is going to be hard replacing her, they don't make many bikes as physically big in terms of width/height anymore.

was she insured?? hope you get it back

Pricks!! Nice looking bike and don't see many of the 750's around. So I guess it was rideable then ...............

Only had third party, if they'd broken the ignition and bought a battery with them it was quite rideable - but I don't think it was stolen for parts or use - the fairings & seat were sitting right next to it, plus they walked right past my unlocked, pristine Mustang GT!
We live next to a tidal river, I'm just waiting on low tide to go see if it ended up there.

I hope not and that you get your bike back and it's some sort of sick prank.

Fucking flashbacks here. Exactly the same thing happened to me; I'd taken the plastics etc off and the fuckers stole it like that.
Sad to hear mate.
Zen wisdom: No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. - obviously had KB in mind when he came up with that gem

Hope you get it back ok. As an ex YZF owner I think they are highly underrated.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

Popped down to the wrecker by AMI stadium for a chat today to see if anyone has been poking around looking for YZF parts or trying to flick it off, no joy yet - he's noted down my details so that if anyone does come by - he'll get in touch.
On that note, what bike wreckers are left in ChCh? Is it just my imagination, or have they all vanished?
I suspect a malice job, since barely a week prior we called DOC on a illegal whitebaiter who's been a problem around our area for a couple of years, the ranger took his gear and sent him on his way - the whitebaiter wasn't right in the head and things got quite heated with the ranger.
I had the fairings and pillion seat sitting right next to the bike too, you'd think if it was a 'proper' theft they would have simply taken them too.
The bike isn't in a state where a thief can gain significant or immediate financial gains from it, the front tyre needs replacing($360) battery is stuffed($100+) they'll need new fairings, ingition barrel, locking fuel cap, etc and a pillion seat(?$$$?) And won't be able to legally put it on the road without doing a frame swap(even more $$$) Parts value is quite restricted too, being that they'll only work with other YZF750/FZR600's - not exactly a big market.
I think it goes without saying, I'll appropriately reward anyone here who provides info that leads to the return of my bike, but I'm not holding my breath - I just need to save some cash, and move on.

Great to see the scum of Christchurch have gotten over the earthquake. Bastards.
And revenge - hell what's wrong with a flaming paper bag full of shit on your doorstep?
It's just not right when someone messes with a guys ride.
Have you contacted the Ranger? He may supply an address or put the police onto the Ranger so they can follow it up. The white-baiter my be stupid enough to have it in his shed.
FUN LOVIN CRIMINAL

Maybe thjis dude's was stollen in the dark in the hope they'd get the parts required to finish yours?!
As an ex YZF rider I think they're highly overrated. Agree to disagree?
