What a first post this is. Anyways, just putting this out there...

Late Wednesday 31st/Thursday 1st My bike was pinched from Salmond College, Dunedin. It was parked under the shelter round the back by the kitchen.

It's a 1988 Suzuki GSX-R 400, black twin pipe model (only year to get that exhaust i believe) The Rego Is 23TWW. some defining features are...
-A small dent in the top-rear-left corner of the petrol tank
-The head lights are pretty temper mental currently, they don't switch past the dull amber park lights (unless the pass switch is held down) making it near impossible to ride at night.
-If you look closely at the windscreen there is a large star faded on, as if a sticker was previously there for a long time.

if you have any useful info that leads to it's recovery, boxes of beer (or whatever) will be gifted.

Ps. sorry for the shit garage photos, they're all i have.

Was it parked or just cruising along? if it was parked i'll definitely be sending a mate out now.

thanks for the support, i really hope to get it back whatever it takes.

The bike tigertim, spotted was apparently an old school 750. I'm hoping that since they don't have a key they ditch it when it runs out of fuel... that said it had a good 200kms in it the night it was pinched.

either that or they kindly return it before i get back to dunedin :) the dirty fuck.
