Wanting reliable learner bike under 2k

[hornetakl]

I have managed to convince my mate to buy his first bike!

He's looking at something like a late model FXR150 (i know, i know), but something better is preferable.
2K max.

Let me know!

Cheers!

Nothing wrong with FXRs.

Heaps of parts except motors for them around, with bucket racers using the motors like.

Bump?? :weep:

This looks nice, but a bit far away: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/159630-Yamaha-FZR-400-1988?p=1130575345#post1130575345


There should be a few on Trademe, too.

I reckon this'd go for under 2k ;)

[hornetakl]

Granted he's never ridden a bike before, I don't think he would handle a 50bhp fzr400 haha.

He's now selling his car as full or part trade if any of you are interested. It's a low kms Subaru impreza 4 door hatch, low kms, tidy exterior, interior door cards a bit rough. Wof reg

[fridayflash]

whats the car worth to him?

[hornetakl]

He bought it from his dad for 2k and he's been trying to sell it for 1500 for a quick sale. Straight swap preffered obviously but yeah.

[Vinz0r]

I may be interested in a straight swap, might be nice to have a car for when it rains :D
Got any more details on the car?

[hornetakl]

Just got your pm now, I'll post some pics this evening and details for ya :)

[hornetakl]

Its a 1992 Impreza in dark blue, 220,000kms, Auto, 4WD.
Door cards and front seats are a bit fucked from having a dog in the car but shouldnt be too hard to find new ones, pick a part etc.
Exterior is pretty straight, minor dings from normal use. Never been dropped ;)

This is the only picture I have at the moment,

Best to come have a look though. Situated in Mt Albert

[Vinz0r]

Hmm looks in good nick but KM's are probably a bit high for my liking. (Had a Subaru in the past and things started to go wrong on it at 200,000 :(. Your one looks like it's been taken care of a bit better than mine had been though!

Still keen to sell the Bandit for a cash sale though, so let me know if your mate is interested :)

[hornetakl]

No problem, hes gotta save a bit more cash for that price but will let ya know closer to the time.

Cheers!!
