Well a certain DR BIG owner has already asked me if i wanna buy his bike now it has a new wiring loom and will shortly actually be running again after a long saga!
:msn-wink:

I think I'm headed the Twin route tho! I DID like riding Benjah's new Wee Strom the other day; so smooth and FAST, long power bands! :niceone:

[cold comfort]

Hired a DL650 for an advanced rider training day a while back. I found it well balanced and did everything (on road) very well. Prob damn good value for money. Not exciting but very practical

Cheers! Maybe someone will trade me for their DL650!

PM Connor !!!!

[Paladin]

And yes, I AM open to reasonable offers!

:2thumbsup

One more week on KB, then it will be on TradeMe too.

[Paladin]

I'm using the bike daily in the week so thought I had better update the odometer reading:

7950 Km's

And a reduced price!!!!!

$7500 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Paladin]

Price dropped for KB'ers to $7000!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For a 2009!!!! Mad or what????!!!!!!!

Will prob list on TM this Saturday, so get in touch quick if interested! At that price TM only has 2007 and 2008's available!!!!!

[FlangMasterJ]

Did I see this bike tearing around the Melling bridge roundabout yesterday?

Sounded nice!

Good luck with the sale.

Not yesterday, but do go round there fairly regularly; yep the Cycleworks pipe sounds nice LOL!

[Paladin]

The DR should be on Tardme tonite, probably at $7350 - 7500 area, so $7k on KB is runnin out of time as the only listing.
The $7k offer to KB members will remain firm & ongoing tho, whatever TM says!

I aint sellin it for under $7k at this time, so doesn't matter what any TM tyre kicker offers me; if it has a 6 in front, it aint goin anywhere. It's a sooper dooper total steal at $7k for an '09 with $1500+ of extras and 14 months+ warranty left & dealer service record.

I'd rather trade it in than sell it for under $7k!

[Waihou Thumper]

in front of it too though, so stick with selling it mate! :yes:

Bloody good point Mark!

I'm sure someone will make me an offer I can't refuse!
:msn-wink:

[Gizzit]

Your DR looks very nice mate. They are great go anywhere .... do pretty much anything .... kind of bikes. :niceone:

Have they improved the seat with the 09 model ? :)

You should get $7K easily. That's a bloody good deal. Best of luck.

Thx mate! Yeah the '09 black tank DOES look good on them and by some miracle mine is still pretty much mint LOL!
The seat is fine but not great for very long trips. 300km days don't really bother me specially with a sheepie strapped on it but I could be comfortablerererer! ;)
Recently I have been put on some meds by the doc that make my fingers go numb way quicker, so again a need to move to a less vibey machine; ie not a thumper!

Thanks, I hope so! I think $7k is stupidly cheap for an '09 with those extras and more than half the warranty still to run, but we'll see I guess! I'll keep my fingers crossed anyways! At least I'm not selling it cos i hate the bike, so if it doesn't sell i won't be cryin into me cornflakes; I'll just mod it up for touring and ride onwards!

[cold comfort]

Did prob 3x that last 2 days over the Nevis to Te Anau and back with OMCC in my padded trousers! It is cetainly do-able even with a previously # tailbone.
Bloody great bike the DR- truely the swiss army knife of bikes. Value for money.

You're not wrong bro!!!!! I've loved owning mine SO much!

[Paladin]

Well, looks like I may have found 2 possible bikes for me!

So...... this would be the ideal opportunity for any KB'ers who fancy owning a DR to make offers!!!!!
