If only I had the spare coin......

Fuck yeah, good to see stuff like that has survived

:woohoo:Seems cheap to me considering the fact that though old if you put someone with some ability onboard it would still be quicker than many of the wankstains onboard there similar priced latest n greatest complete with matching blimp suits.:facepalm:

Chip? Shoulder?

Who cares how quick someone rides, as long as they ride.

Nice bike too.

Neither,cheers for asking though.

True, seems you already have an excess.

Well I just fail to see what anyone's 'speed' has to do with their riding. Not every rider is out to be the fastest, you know some just ride because it makes them happy. Even if they tootle along on their latest sportsbike in their 'blimp' suits.

[bistard]

Very cool bike & well worth the asking price, as it is a piece of history
Now how do I get it into my lounge,without her noticing??

[Crasherfromwayback]

Each to their own etc, but I don't think it's worth anything like that. Maybe if it was a GS1000S...be interested to see if someone pays that sort of coin for it.

I note that "Adele" has included an invalid phone number.

a Lotto bike for certain

[forkoil]

Does anyone know (or "remember") who it was riding the thing? And I take it its the Aus rather than the NZ 6 hr?

[Bender]

23 grand? Have you lost your minds?

It's a clapped out old - very old - Suzuki with some vintage stickers on it.

If you think its worth that much give me a call - have I got a deal for you.

Alan Hales and Neil Chivas in the 1979 Australian Castrol 6 hour. Alan Hales died a couple of years ago and his wife is selling it.

Nah! more likely a loose sphincter in a gay bikers bar was to blame.

Dont spend all my life on a keyboard,have never once told anyone how to ride in my life you moron,care to point out when i have?,fwiw in my time on here ive never seen a post from you regarding motorcycles worth reading and have at times wondered if you have ever ridden one let alone worked on one, that aside guilty however of spending bazillons on a crapped out TL and loving it after 39 years riding/owning them i get just as much buzz mucking about with them as i do riding. currently awaiting a courier with more high end stuff for the crapped out old thing.If my spending money on crapped out old things annoys you then i find it a bonus,ive also a Z650 and XS750 that i will also at some stage be spending bazillons on,quite happily.

[98tls]

I don't have a matching suit to go with it... but I have the latest n greatest, does that make me a wankstain, or given the leathers are black, maybe just a skid mark? :confused:

Just a Skiddy mate,have to come up yonder in a couple of weeks during the week so will call in,am staying overnight so will have plenty of time.Any chance you could direct me to the bloke you know that does the exhausts?wouldnt mind having a natter re the 2/1.

Id hardly describe 23k Aus as a lotto purchase amount of money.

[CHUNKY MONKEY]

Id hardly describe 23k Aus as a lotto purchase amount of money.

Maybe not for some but spending that sort of money on a bike that I would not ride often to me puts it into the 'Lotto choice' for me

Hmmmm, tough call re-price, it's a helluva thing to try and value.

Just glancing through the finishing list though and it's a who's who of Proddy racing: Wayne Gardner, Wes Cooley, Mal Campbell, Dave Hiscock, Kenny Blake, Johnny Warrian, Jim Budd, Greg Pretty, Graeme Crosby etc. Some of the names mightn't be familiar to Kiwi's but they are legends in Oz or the US.

Forget the fact it's a 30year old Jappa, you are almost buying a time machine when you buy something like this, because in looking at it you are transported to a different completely era.
