Can't decide if this is funnier than the "One careful owner" thread.

Classic bike I'd say.

Read the seller commets/questions. It's some pretty impressive reading. Seller seems like he's actively discouraging people from buying his bike

Certainly not if a womble like that is 'selling' it.

What's wrong with the question and answer. He would have answered questions, but fucktards who were never gonna buy the bike kept pressing.

If you want the bike and want to pay for it, bid, or you should be there looking at it. Otherwise, fuck off.

Drew

Also, look at his other listings. His method works, only one that doesn't have a bid, is a heap of shit 2008 R1. I wouldn't bid on that if the nicest guy was answering all questions, and giving his number out to all, and sundry.

Maybe I didn't read close enough, but I couldn't find any details of where/when to go to look at it until he put his contact number up way later.

Just sounds like a guy that's tired of TM and KB wankers that like playing games on peoples auctions.

Nothing wrong with refusing to play the little games,should be more of it.

I wouldnt want my contact details on the auctions with that list of bikes. Phone would go all hours and the buyer will be the collector that doesnt care about anything other than its a complete bike.

It would be nice to have a few more details on the auction.
But, that's not the kind of bike I'd buy wihtout talking to him first.
Not my problem, DILLIGAF and good luck to the guy, he has some cool toys

That RC30 he's selling is a 77hp one.

FYI its not a crossplane motor.. its a 07/08 inline, cross plane came out in 09/10/11 and 12 ;-)

Maybe not everyone is happy buying such an old bike in a completely unknown mechanical condition without even looking at it when the seller obviously has something to hide. If he had nothing to hide then he wouldn't hesitate to be more open about people coming over to look at it.

I've sold a few second hand vehicles before and have dealt with plenty more fuckwits than genuine buyers, but that goes with the territory of selling old vehicles and if he doesn't want to deal with that, then he should sell it to a bike dealer instead.

Well considering its a 400 :innocent: Not too big a hit!

"...rear trye will need replaceing, still driveable as is."

He did also say no tyre kickers; clearly because a decent kick would cause a sever loss of structural integrity on a tyre that worn! In my experience when a SD gets close to that worn the join in the rubber becomes apparent...

So it is ... :pinch:

It's a honda though .... But might be worth a look. But ... 80,000 km's is worry. It doesn't look that well looked after and the seller does not inspire confidence.

Oh noes!!!! A worn consumable item!!!!
I'd go look at it for that price, good little engine. 'Bout the most solid small motor out there those Honda 4s with gear driven cams.
My CB400 was similar in the engine with over 70,000km and ran perfectly, valve clearances were within spec, great box/clutch etc.

lol! thanks for making me laugh Drew.

I remember a Trade me bike auction where the guy basically said his bike was a piece of shit and described everything wrong with it, he got lots of favourable comments and eventually sold it.
