Up for sale or swap is my NC30. I have owned the bike for the last year, proving to be the most reliable bike i have ever owned, a complete blast round the twisties and a brilliant commuter. Though id let the kiwibikers have a look before the savages on trademe bombard me with stupid questions and offers.

The bike is in stunning condition cosmetically minus the rear fairing which someone has replaced with a different one in the past :blink: But isnt that noticeable from a distance. Im looking to get the rear fairing painted to original in the next wee while which will alter price.

The engine is great, runs smoothly through the gears, very responsive and fantastic on gas ( 240kms for a $25 tank of petrol )

The tyres are near new, cdi and reg/rec have been replaced. Brakes are in very good nick and the bike has no problem starting or idling. Only problem iv found in the cold winter months is that the indicators are delayed, any ideas anybody?

Im looking to get a 250 to finish my licencing on. Its getting tiring looking over my shoulder all the time! So if you have a 250 that you're looking to swap let me know :yes: Im after a CBR, ZXR, NSR, Aprilia RS250 . Open to all offers

I'll answer all questions best i can

I'll be sad to see her go :bye:

I wish i could! But the fines are starting to pile up. The cop stops outside the university in the morning usually catch me haha. I still have a while left on my full licence...... getting my restricted next month..... :shutup:

Never seen any cop stops around the uni either and i live across the road :blink:

Really? They hide themselves at the very start of Hillcrest road, just under the bump. I'v been riding 400's for a while now on my learners (2 and a half years) and iv only just started to be pulled over more often.

Should really get my shit together haha. Awfully tempted to keep it though, i just dont have a 250 at the moment to sit my R on. Might have to steal a mates

Alright. Im convinced. Im keeping her.

Sorry to anyone who was interested, but i have a vision of growing old with my NC30, whatever the hassle over the licencing period.

There was a Sick Kawasaki ZX6R 675 for sale here in Dunedin, guy only wanted 6k for it, has 60,000km and was really well looked after, would be an epic steal
