Would consider trials bike cash either way.

You giving up already?!?!?!

You giving up already?!?!?!

Yeah. I lost interest after the build project finished and Im not very good at riding it.
I always wanted a trials bike.

Bump again.

After building them, it all becomes shit house.

Probably just 99 people want to see what you set your reserve at

While it cost you 3000 how much is it worth? 1200-1300 maybe ?

Added up cost 4k
Reserve is approx 1500.

Reserve is approx 1500.Sorry mate, I think you're asking too much. I hope I'm wrong, but I reckon since it's pretty slow, it's a grand to fifteen hundy maximum.

But, I know very little. I just say what I think and pray.

Reserve is 1500 approx but under not over.
I think the bikes not that slow but I do admit im not great at riding a bucket racer.
Maybe im more suited to a point and squirt high hp bike. Being 6.4 and having slow reactions doesnt help alot:(

I suppose it shouldn't surprise me, but it does, every time I ride with someone who I know is a very good rider in one class but on different machines in a different environment they suck. A mate is dynamite in real technical dirt stuff, put him on gravel and he's rubbish. Another is all class on a big adv bike, put him on a trials bike and he's shite. Yet another has a collection of very nice sports bikes, can't handle a dirt bike at all well. Even smaller differences in machinery and terain show up different skills, or lack of them. The one constant seems to be that early dirt learning provides a good base for most other disciplines.

Except me. I'm pretty much the same shite on anything.

People like Fish, Adlam, Hamish Murphy and a few of the other fast bucket guys in Wellys are fast on whatever they ride, Avalon B, Sketchy is another example of this too. Its not what you ride, it's how you ride it.

Have you done any revalving off shock/forks?
Checked if your using a decent amount of the travel? That R6 rear shock and RSV1000 forks will be way way out for small forces involved in bucket racing..
What tyres are they? BT39's? You might have some fundalmental problems which is holding you up from riding it quickly.

I'm with drew 1000 - 1500. As it still needs work to be competitive. Cool bike though. Gutted your giving up so early. 14HP really isn't that bad, should be capable of riding in A grade with a good rider. Should be quicker than a stock FXR.

The set up seems good. Static sag on rear is good but spring is maybe a size to small for me at 100kg with gear. The mounting points on rear will be different from a r6 so hard to make a comp between the 2. Front end feel good.
I havent raced it in the dry since it had original set up and 10hp with 24mm two smoke carb and for some reason I didnt ride well in the wet last meeting when im normally good on a wet track. Maybe I was just having a off day as we have a few things going on with house hunting etc.

If its not sold next meeting and its fine ill come out and ride it again.

Just relisted at 1k starting bid and reserve. Will see what happens
