Hi. I'm leaving the country soon and I'm selling all of the stuff that wont fit in my back pack. Which includes (edit) 4 bikes. 3 of which are suitable, or usable for bucket racing. Or setting fire to. Whatever gets you going. The other is a slutty old vfr400.I don't have any pics of any of them, cause I'm lazy. But if you REALLY want, I could probably take some.

1- SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD 1x road legal suzuki fxr150. Currently warranted and reg'd. Cosmetically as pretty as the girl you will only bang after at least 6 beers. Mechanically it is solid. Currently has a short (loud LOUD LOUD) pipe and a larger main jet, can return to standard exhaust and standard jetting if necessary. I'd take $800 if you come pick it up. OR I can ride it to your town if it's not too far. And you buy me a cheeseburger and a bus fare home. And $800. SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD

2- the legendary magical cb125 bucket racer of glory and fame. I don't know it's origins, some of you old cunts will however. It hasn't been raced for at least a year. I haven't used it since I bought it. It's just collecting dust in my friends garage in wellington. I understand that it is as much of a part of the wellington bucket scene as the kaitoke track itself. So it will only be going to a bucketeer in the wellington or surrounding regions. $500 pick up only please.

3- SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD last and shittest of all, my spada/gl145 project that was ridden once. It has a problem with the engine. Namely it won't rev over about 4-5k rpm. If you have any real skills with working on motors, it may be an easy fix for you. Other wise, I mounted the motor myself using 6mm steel plates and 10mm 4340steel studs. The frame is all nylon'd up, folding footpegs (with nylon bungs in the end). The front disc I ground flat at work. Steel brake lines. New rubber hand grips. Chromoly subframe. Stock rims with pirelli sport demon tyres (which have loads of tread left. It may even be worth it for you just for the wheels and tires. If you own a spada, or want the same size tires. There is a few spares, nylon bits and some extra footpegs/mount plates. Also a xr200 motor that the previous owner told me was a 185. It's no lightweight at around 100kg wet. But it looks cool. And that is most important. Mostly I just want it gone and would be stoked if someone would actually sort it and ride it. I'd take $200 for it. Or a reasonable offer. SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SLOD

Any questions, pm me or put them in here and I'll try answer them as seriously as I can.

P.S I realise this may be the wrong place to post such a thread. But as most other bikers think buckets are stupid, I won't waste my time with other biker forum sections.

I'm interested in the Spadabeast, I reckon my new fairings and DR600 motor would work a treat in it.

That was aimed at Doug. Though good call.

I'm in the booming metropolis of Palmerston North.

Its Murray Cross's old bike so was part of the Manuwatu racing scene longer than wgtn.

Front wheel is pretty out of round, but that is fixable.

The last goober that owned it, bought and fitted a new (2nd hand) wheel. Unsure if it better than the previous one.

I rode it at one meeting only, it hauls like a little train. Even with the egg shaped wheel I did 48ish second laps (recorded on stopwatch on side of the track).

I've never ridden it. its very old school, 18" wheels the lot. I mean would be fun enough bucket for little money, but never the sharp end of the field.

Agreed. It will mix it up pretty well in B grade. A grade not so much..

Hey hey, i got a 3rd in A grade on it, once. (Several years ago with a reverse grid and no real fast people in the race ;)).

On a serious note, its a complete sleeper, even with the 18's it hauls. I'd love it as a B-grade bike.
Yeah yeah, Big bike racing debts. (Well actually the 125's smaller than my 150 and much lighter...)

Yes, $500 firm. I haven't ridden it with the newer wheel on there, so I can't tell you how bad it is. I will be in welly on good friday so I can check it out then if you like ?

I have been talking to my dad and its either that or another stock twin cylinder one from Hamilton which my dad said would be better off to by but I just need more info also if the wheel is 18" and it's buggered then won't it be a struggle to find one in good nick

His last activity on the forums was 2nd June 2013 23:26. So it safe to say he is not droppiong by all that frequently anymore.

Can I suggest you PM him, it may trigger an email notification that he may see.
