Here before you is an advertisement for my beloved RG150.
Though it pains me, I feel the need to move on to bigger things in my biking career, and so I offer you, the residents of KB, the opportunity to purchase one of the finest motorcycles ever made.
I bought this as a learner bike at 13000kms, and what a learner bike it is.
It is a gentle little bike for those new to the biking world, but as you develop as a rider it will accommodate you with all the power and turning capability you could ever require. I believe it is far beyond me, and most any rider to truly ride the RGs to their limits - hence their immense popularity in the world of streetstock racing.
I have spent over $1500 in repairs to this bike to get it to the spec it should be.
Appealing points of the bike include:
- A freshly rebuilt top end and rebore at 16826kms by Duane's Bikes and Skis
- A new front brake disc and pads at 17753kms
- Reparation of the powervalve at 19390kms and subsequently at about 21000kms to ensure no big explosions in the foreseeable future
- Healthy tyres front and rear
- New clutch from Trevor Pierce motorcycles at approx 16000kms
- Always run on top quality Castrol TTS two stroke oil
- Brand new WOF as of this post and Registration through til April/2010
- Kickstart has previously fallen off due to friction when stock, so it has been drilled through and loctite has been applied. If you manage to kick it off the bike then chances are your foot will carry on through the ground too.
Less appealing points:
- Chain will probably need replacing within the next couple of thousand kms, but no hurry
- Due to the last rebore and lack of an oversize piston to fit, there is a bit more rattle than usual - but I am assured that this is not something that will affect the lifespan of the bike significantly
- Right fairing has a small line cut out of it due to running off the track at Ruapuna, and there are various small cracks to the front fairing. These are strictly cosmetic though, and the bike has never been crashed in my ownership of it.
I will put up pictures on request.
I can be negotiated with on the price.
I am willing to help with shipping if required but will not put any money towards doing so.
I want this bike to go to a good home, because it deserves it.
I may withdraw this bike at any time I see fit... Because it's still a better bike than I am a rider.
Any questions just ask, my mum says I'm a nice guy :sunny:
