EDIT. why is KB gay and not letting me embed images? wtf.

[nudemetalz]

Very nice !!!!!

It does embed images.
Use photobucket, works a treat (check out my "New Models" Moto Guzzi thread)

[Morcs]

Ive had standard bb codes work on KB before, for some reason they arent now. or . neither work now. I use imageshack, works fine on other sites...

Congrats on your purchase. Sexy bike for a great price. Hard to beat that!

[vtec]

Damn, keep it in that condition, and she'll be a trackworthy collectors item in a few more years. I dropped mine a few weeks ago, so no longer quite so pretty.

[vifferman]

Very nice, Morcs! :niceone:

So.... when are you going to start stunting it? :confused:

[EJK]

MINT! A bargain!!

[Sidewinder]

you didnt say it was homo porn

[Morcs]

you didnt say it was homo porn

Well I dont think Spewsuki have ever produced a bike in the exotic/desirability class that even comes close to some of the bikes Honda have produced...

:bleh:

[hayd3n]

nice bike shame about the brand

[Harvd]

HOW did you get it for that price?. Similar ones ive seen have all been 7k+

[gatch]

Good buy dude !

I got my nc30 with 16k on it for just under 5 grand :D.

[Wiki Drifter]

Jackpot! One of my favourite bikes, had the pleasure of test riding a nc35 once, but the shop was asking for $8K with ~25,000km on the clock...:bash:

[Sidewinder]

i think morcs should just stop showing off snice this is his 2nd nc35!

[Toaster]

Nice bike and nice pics Morcs, enjoy!

[Kiwi Graham]

Bit of green eye going on here.
Bloody lovely looking bike in ace condition Morcs, well done.

[enth]

Ha, I recognise that house from one of my TradeMe pickups. Remember me I bought that Tiger Oscar off you!

Nice bike and nice buy btw.

[motorbyclist]

Jackpot! One of my favourite bikes, had the pleasure of test riding a nc35 once, but the shop was asking for $8K with ~25,000km on the clock...:bash:

heheh, at red baron right?

I test rode it also after my NC30 was stolen, with zero intention of buying it.

3 months with no other suitable bike on the market and I bent over and took it.

Yes, I was the retard who bought that bike for $7k plus my little brother's damaged FXR150, and it gets better from there; the black vinyl stuck on the rear was to hide a hideous mess the japanese owner made, the "fine" rear tyre was infact perishing and mildly dangerous, and the front brake caliper seals are stuffed, and Red Baron also didn't even look at the carbs despite it being part of the purchase price. Turns out verbal agreement means nothing and warranty was a joke.

I was keenly watching that NC35 Morcs bought (weren't we all?) - gutted I don't and won't have the money for another NC35 for a while now so i can retire my current one (already topping 40K km) to the track

[motorbyclist]

Here, have some more candy:

[imdying]

Don't know what it is about those little NC35s, but they prod me in the same ways a 916 or Vdue does.

[Morcs]

Now for sale :(

My Fazer has been on the market for 3 months with not a single bit of interest despite dropping the price again and again, and I need to sell one of the bikes.

The RVF has:
>10,000 genuine KMs on the clock
>Less than 500kms on new tyres (GRP100 Rear, PP Front)
>New WOF adn 6 month rego last month
>Vega Carbon Exhaust
>Footrest riser plates
>Jackup plate on rear shock (gives more >ground clearance and better handling)
>180kph Speed limiter removed.
>Stomp grips
>Frame sliders (motivation USA)
>Tinted screen + stock screen. Also have a double bubble tint on the way which Ill fit.

Taking offers from KB Members. I picked it up for 5800, but that was because I had to backpay rego, get new tyres and new wof, In total its had about 2k sunk into it and is now a very capable machine, and wont need any $$ spending on it for sometime.

[gatch]

Ratshit man, I feel for you, after having my vfr for a few months I'd hate to have to part company now.

[motorbyclist]

bugger......

[limbimtimwim]

Bummer :( Good luck selling it.

But in consolation for myself, took the Fazer out for a fang in T-shirt and jandals and did some 130k wheelstands and realised I missed it :yes:

[Pumba]

Must resist. Man you just cant make up your mind:lol:

Would love to take the RVF off your hands, but unless I won lotto on Saturday (doubtfull given I didnt by a ticket) I dont think it is going to happen

So very Alanis Morrisette... less than 24 hours ago I had someone telling me the bike on my tee shirt was a miss print and shouldn't it be a VFR.

Now I have a post to email them confirming my warehouse tee shirt was correct...

[crazyhorse]

Good looking machine. Well done :niceone:

[one fast tl1ooo]

Always liked the sound of that bike....:woohoo::woohoo:

[breakaway]

Its a very nice ride, I won't deny that, but $5800 nice? No effin way.

[R6_kid]

Its a very nice ride, I won't deny that, but $5800 nice? No effin way.

People pay more than that for ZXR/CBR 250's.

I'd say that bike is worth every penny having seen it in the flesh. I paid $6k for my TRX with similar km's and goodies on it. In fact I've seen lesser VFR's and RVF's go for a fair bit more money than that.

[kiwifruit]

No way!!! That is bound to go down in acc stats as a bike related injury if you do that.

[motorbyclist]

actually that's a pretty good price - bike would be worth about $6500 privately and as much as $8k if it were from a dealer

[PirateJafa]

Its a very nice ride, I won't deny that, but $5800 nice? No effin way.

I picked my mint VFR up with similar k's for $6,500.

Sold it with over 40,000km on it for $6,200.

And they're worth every penny.

[breakaway]

If you say so. I simply couldn't justify spending that kind of money on a ~15 year old bike. Especially when I bought my 2001 GSX-R 1000 with 32k on the clock for $6000.

[The Pastor]

yeah but its a gsxr, the rvf is a good bike.

Don't worry. We can't all be born perfect.

But you can dream of one day joining our ranks, I suppose.

with less that 10k on the clock what does 15 years of storage matter when you're buying a bike that's been thrashed for 32k over 8 years instead?

It'll still embarrass your gixxer on any road with a corner in it

[imdying]

If you say so. I simply couldn't justify spending that kind of money on a ~15 year old bike.And if it were an RG500? An RC45? A Britten? Age has what to do with it again? Your position could be tenable if a newer equivalent could be obtained, but given that it can't, you're a dick.

[imdying]

It'll still embarrass your gixxer on any road with a corner in itWhat a completely retarded comment. OAB has a K2 GSXR1000, and he'd rape you on an NC35 with one arm tied behind his back (well actually in the front of his jacket, but that's nitpicking) between say... Nelson and Springs Junction :bash:

[motorbyclist]

without losing his licence? I haven't done that one yet but I meant a real twisty road (that twisty bit of SH6 over the mountain north of nelson is a good one) where straight line speed isn't important


put a good rider on any bike and they'll rip up - put an average rider on a brute of a bike and they may as well be on a 400

[imdying]

Ok ok, I admit it, nothing I said had any logic behind it.You're welcome :yes:

[motorbyclist]

good luck with attitude - if we put rossi on an RVF he'd beat OAB with one arm tied behind his back

[imdying]

Look, it's like this... basically you're a bit misguided / misinformed.

Even using a reasonably twisty (and super fun) road as my example, you're statement was shot down in flames.

However, if you want to press the point, please do tell us how the magical NC35 is going to embarras a first generation GSXR1000 on 'any road with a corner'??

Or did you mean to say 'A litre bike will have a hard time getting past an NC35 with a 100 metre head start on any road that has fifty 25km/hr hair pin bends inside of 2kms'.

On the one hand, that would probably be a valid description of a situation where the NC35 would come out on top, but for the rest of us living in the real world, you're still talking out of a hole that isn't your mouth :msn-wink:

Just because you can't ride a litre sports bike faster than you can ride a 400cc one, doesn't mean that their aren't others that can.

Now if you'd said, imdying, I'd whip you silly over the Takaha hill on an NC35 if you were on your shiney new fireblade, even with a 400 metre head start, then you'd probably be on the money. However, your statement was an absolute that simply isn't correct, if you think you're not going to get pulled up on that, then you're living in lala land.

/edit: In the interests of full disclosure, I'm happy to admit that I think the NC35 is a kick arse bike and I've love a low mileage one in the original colour scheme. Those foxeyes are the fuckin win!

[YellowDog]

She's a beauty.

Enjoy............

[R6_kid]

Look, it's like this... basically you're a bit misguided / misinformed.

I think he was referring that Morcs on that RVF would kick Breakaways arse on a GSXR1000K1.

We know you love your bike. Now calm down, go outside, and give it a kiss.

[motorbyclist]

yep, although experience says the road not need to be quite that tight, and that there's aren't a great deal of riders who can fully utilise their thous or even 600's on an NZ road :bleh:

of course a litrebike would outstrip a 400 in a straight line and/or the boring bits between the good parts - but the rider is going to lose their licence doing it aren't they?


Atleast we agree on the foxeyes :love:

[imdying]

yep, although experience says the road not need to be quite that tight, and that there's aren't a great deal of riders who can fully utilise their thous or even 600's on an NZ road :bleh:It's the road, why would you even try? One of the beauties of larger bikes is that you don't have to rape them.

of course a litrebike would outstrip a 400 in a straight line and/or the boring bits between the good parts - but the rider is going to lose their licence doing it aren't they?Heh, hands up if you lost your license on your 250 :D

Atleast we agree on the foxeyes :love:Not only that, I'd wager that you'd agree that 400s can be more fun on the road as you can utilise the entire rev range easier and thus live out your motogp fantasies etc :yes:

A thou will eat up a 400 in almost every situation, but I think that focusing on that is somewhat missing the point!

[imdying]

We know you love your bike. Now calm down, go outside, and give it a kiss.Heh, I love all my bikes, even the little 50cc ones :yes:

[Morcs]

If you say so. I simply couldn't justify spending that kind of money on a ~15 year old bike. Especially when I bought my 2001 GSX-R 1000 with 32k on the clock for $6000.

Yes but you are a noob. What Gareth said below is completely true.
Buying a thou doesnt make you fast, hell you couldnt even come close to actually riding your 600 apart from nailing it in a straight line.

I think he was referring that Morcs on that RVF would kick Breakaways arse on a GSXR1000K1.



Price is 7k.
Fair price for what it is.
All you people that dont appreciate a rare and exotic bike in good condition, and would rather have your common-as-muck-squid machines, please walk on.

Merry Xmas.

I read somewhere in another forum:
The straight bits sort out the rich from the poor.
The corners sort out the men from the boys.

[R6_kid]

I dont :(

But needs must.

Sell your missus instead. :2thumbsup

please don't tell her I said that!

[kiwifruit]

They sure are a desirable machine. A piece of art.

[TuonoTom]

Do want, very sexy RFV there.

A lot of people don't seem to get it, do they? $7k is a great price for what is a great looking, great handling bike, in good condition. For a very long time all I wanted after my MC22 was a 600. Only after actually riding a few bikes did i realise that I didn't want one. Now I have an MC28 NSR and i love it. Like your RVF it's in good condition, relatively rare, and awesome.

Enjoy it.

[Muppet]

One word-Bargain!

I always buy mint condition, low mileage, low price.
