I've had this for a little over a year now and it has been great, alas I have to buy a car for work purposes and this ended up sitting around.
I bought it for $1500 from someone in Taupo who seemed to have some kind of attraction to it and cared for it well. It was mint. Unfortunately from normal use the seat has split but otherwise it is still in very good condition, always garaged at night. It has a new battery and new bulbs throughout. I have kept the chain lubed and regularly checked the oil. It has a new continental contigo rear tire on it currently but I think I might keep that for my bucket racer (dependant on offered price).
She's a good little thing but it's time to move on.
It doesn't have rego or warrent and the only thing that may not let it pass a warrent is that the speedo gauge no longer works (tacho still works fine which I ride to anyway). The speedo cable is good, it is the gauge itself which has an issue. I bought another gauge for $10 but the person sent it in a packet and the needle broke off in transport. I lost interest in fixing that afterwards. There's a good chance a warrent inspector who isn't picky would let it pass without fixing this. I will backpay the rego (some $400 odd) which is still in the system for the new owner so that they can put it on hold whilst getting it a warrent and so forth.
Rides great, light and nimble. Costs next to nothing to drive and my wallet misses it dearly.
Looking for $1200 due to overall condition and the fact I have to backpay the outrageous rego that NZ loves to charge but I will consider offers. If you're interested at all, please contact me. 021 157 1036
