It is registered as a 1989 model but it is the 1990 L model.
Obviously if youre serious about buying one of these bikes youve done your research into how they go. Not altogether practical for commuting around town, though it can be done and it is fun to do. Im real picky with warming it up (my neighbours will be glad to hear the end of the sugayas early weekend mornings) so thats another thing to think about. Its an absolute dream to ride on nice twisty roads, and even makes straight roads fun.
The bike goes really well, I cant have any complaints. The only reason that Im selling is because Im looking for a more suitable bike for longer rides. Obviously you could use it for racing/track bike if you choose (it goes well), but itd be a shame for it to be off the road.
And anticipating the age old question of is the ignitor box derestricted?, it has a adjustable ignition and powervalve controller.

Happy to answer questions.
Will put on a new warrant
Only allow test rides if you have the cash with you.

That is very nice indeed. Is it a genuine Pepsi or just a repaint?

:)Hi driftn
Sorry that it took me a while to get back to you
Yes it is “just” as repaint, but it looks really good and is very good quality. To be honest I take alot of pride in owning this bike and I think that I have shown due respect to it.

For this price I think this bike is a steal . As with any motorvehicle you going to lose money on resale-but i’m going to lose alot on this one considering the extras put on it. The modifications which have been done I consider to be intelligent and reliable.

And to answer someone elses question-No there has not been any porting work done. A bit too risky (cost/benefit) to be worthwhile for me (on a road bike that is).

Aha I forgot to update the price to that which is on trademe.
$4000 now.
Real cheap considering the pipes are about $2000 by themselves. Alot of bang for your buck.

I'm open to offers now... I suppose at the end of the day, the market determines the value:confused:..

:niceone: Yeah, it seems that there is lots of interest but not too much cash around the place at the moment. And it is the middle of winter i suppose..
