I was tempted to do it when I got up this morning but she was onto me and I didn't get any time alone before work.

[nudemetalz]

Got a spare $5K, Mossy ?

This gives me a woody and a half !!!

I had a blue and white one with the white dash back in 1990. Lovely bikes they are. Oh if I had the money (ie lotto)

At first when I opened the link I though 5k is a little much then I began wanting to buy it. Would be hard to find another in that condition.


http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbikes/motorbikes/classic-vintage/auction-627034873.htm

Im thinking this would be a good bike to return to the road and take out for the odd ride.

[nudemetalz]

Love those old boomerang mags Honda did in '82-'83. My old CBX400 had those with those dreadful inboard discs.
This is nice as long as you could get some original pipes for it.

Carjam has a different view to the RG in the OP.

Assuming that it is on only its 2nd odo, it has actualy done 50,000 km, not 13ks.

EDIT: Also
- It is on it's 4th set of plates ???
- first reg in nz in 95, so is an import, but says NZ new???

Back in the 80's I owned 2 Stingers and 1 90 Wolf. Great wee machines. All high pipers.

There is a one gathering dust at my local bike mechanics shop. Clutch problems & no parts available.
With the kick start fixed you could still have problems. Forward kick & high compression. Large boots & commitment a must.

Gets used too often :msn-wink: acts almost as a small warning alert...... struck one a while back, where I offered the seller a price close to the dollar of his wanted price minus the cost of rego & wof and he wouldn't budge off the reserve price yet the pitch in the auction stated "will sell with wof & reg if reserve met" :scratch: txt'd me a couple of weeks after auction trying to tempt me :pinch:

Look a project bike. Nice height for the wifey. I let it go though. Bet you could convince him 600 was a fair price.

[F5 Dave]

You clearly don't like your wife. What a shitbox. Rethink why you married her and treat her with better respect.
GS500 and some platform boots would at least make her think bikes are fun. Short lass I know has a lowered R1 but an R6 could be cool.

Ain't that the truth. People that rich rarely seem to have enough spare time to enjoy stuff, they are too busy getting continually richer. In essence the money is wasted on them.

Unfortunately being busy & motivated isint a choice, it's a state of mind, the wealth it just the result of that. I'd hazard a guess that most of the "rich" people you are bagging aren't doing it solely for the money.

Can't you ever just laugh at a funny idea? Its called observational humour and it's not based on the serious truth. That's what makes it funny.

Though much less so once explained which is one of those sad truths. That's just an ordinary observation.

The bike is ex Police impound as it has had Frame and motor numbers removed, I have the Police release papers. You can either jump through all the hoops for NZTA or find another frame for identity.

Sounds Rad Just pay 1500 and then buy another to put all the bits onto to get it road legal. Shouldn't cost a penny over 3K.

Only one thing to say to TM sellers like this one: If you can't spell, I'm not buying your fucking bike.

Why is so fucking hard, 40 years after "FAIRINGS" (see how that is spelt kids?) started appearing on bikes, to spell "FAIRINGS".

On TM alone I have seen the following attempts in the last couple of weeks:

ferrings
furrings
feyrings
ferryings
farings
fiarings
farrings
fair rings

Always followed with some sort of half-witted assurance that "its (sic) only cosmetic and that shit will buff out bro". Those bikes with "only cosmetic" damage are ALWAYS listed at some sort of bloody extravagant price and when you ring or email and say, "I've priced up the fucked bits on your bike and even at the cosmically inflated price you've listed it at, you have to give me $500 to take the poor abused thing off your Genghis Khan-like hands", you get offered some form of personal mutilation coupled with sex and travel instead of profound thanks.

WTF is up with that?

You forget. Nobody under 25 can spell these days and its a LAMS bike.

Boy am I a downer today, but clearly he's finally realised the same thing. Hopefully he goes out and buys the 600, that looks nice.

Could be a different shock option. The swinger looks like its 2 short also. MX tires and handle bars required.
Idd play with it and get something worth riding but it would soak my money.
Wonder what dollars he has sunk into it already?

[F5 Dave]

I can't imagine its linkage has been set up to work as intended. It was the wrong bike to stat with. If you want Katana styling buy repro body work and a crashed bandit. They look good and won't be any worse than a bandit.

Certainly much prettier as a cafe racer.
I'm wanting to do the Burt Munroe next year, so I'm putting away coins for a comfy bike. But I'd probably want a wee bit more poke and a lot less weight.

I'll live with a 600/4 like an F3 CBR or another ZZR6 (I have so many spares for one...)

Sharp. Be a very under stressed motor capable of huge miles. Cheap.

Bloody good machines those, assuming they don't have the same soft cam material of the ZZR1100C? And IMHO the sexiest retro-muscle thing the Japs did

Another bargain, http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbikes/motorbikes/tourers/auction-868150133.htm
Really do like the RFs, except for the huge fat arse on them. I think they are a wee bit large and bulky for me to be pushing around lawns, carparks and garages :weep:

I reckon I can live with the VTRthou tank range, I usually stop about every 150km for a quick suck on a fag and cuppa anyway :lol: so rarely let any of my bikes go further than 200km on a tank (the ZZR600 would manage well over 300 with commuting though)

When RF900 were new and under 11k I got keen on them. Then I sat on one and looked down at the triple clamp and instruments and it came across as poorly finished. Guess that's why a budget bike. Likely good value. Funny thing is I got the same feeling sitting on a k1300s. The moulded triple had a rough edge unfinished look to it like a seem that shouldn't have been there.

Owned a vtr sp1 and Wellington to Foxton was almost an empty tank. 17litres used. Wellington to Featherston and back was a full tank trip.

A bike I owned in the mid 90s was a 1989 zx10. That was a great bike or at least I thought so at the time.

Lighter, faster and more comfortable than an RF.

The RF is no doubt a cheap made machine, but it's a nice workhorse with a bit of poke

The Fizzer is very good buying! If I had the coin, I would buy the fuck out of it

Made to make a dent in the market at a price that many who couldn't buy new could suddenly afford. great market strategy and judging by the amount still doing miles a reliable bike if looked after.
I think I remember them owning the 24hr endurance speed record at 268kph average ( memory is subject to age and other possible inaccuracies ).

[ducatilover]

Yeah they held a few records, which is impressive given it's lack of on paper performance.
Shame they had such an ugly arse though :mellow:

They do bugger the dogs in 3rd gear I believe, but nothing I can't sort over a beer or two :yes:

That or some sort of gobby ponzi scheme seem like good options.

Less in the way of overheads too.

I wouldn't normally Honda but this would be a perfect LAMS bike. Basically a touring seat arrangement Bros. Did one up several years ago and it was a fun ride with character torque.

Cheap but very Honda.
If in my area I would buy it and café racer it.
Surely nobody has café raced a pc800 before.

Seen it before and its the best looking pc800 I have seen so far.

I think if the bottom half of front fairing was removed and a crash bar added plus the rear stripped down and safari luggage added plus some combo knobbles and its becoming a motorbike.
