Last night (14th August) some arseholes stole my Fathers 1984 GSX400FW from his carport in Hastings.
The bike was out of sight on a back section of a cul-de-sac and had to be carried past a car. They also took the trickle charger which was plugged into the bike as well.
The bike is black and red, the plastics have been welded up and the paint is a bit rough but the engine is in good nick.
GSX400FW's are a water-cooled inline 4 GSX and look a lot like a gsx750ES, they are a pretty rare beast these days.
If anyone sees or hears of one floating a round I would appreciate a pm.
Thanks

Is that a 'impulse' model ?

Shit mate, nothings sacred anymore.
Should I spy such a beasty up here in Dorkland I'll "DO" more than pm ya.
Has to be someone who knows your dad and wanted that bike.
Thieves should be hung from the nearest tree/yard arm.

I'm at the suzuki dealership in Napier, will keep an eye out for it and also advise our workshop to do the same...

Edit: I have printed out the above picture and written stolen on it etc, and put one up in the workshop...
