How is this (http://www.trademe.co.nz/clothing-fashion/men/jackets/auction-773750594.htm) an Iron Man jacket?

[GrayWolf]

*Not many of these in NZ*. Or anywhere for that matter, as they were as popular as warts on ya cock.

They were a USA model primarily, Similar to the Honda Magna 1100, Suzuki Madura, V-max, all were 'power cruisers' or traffic light drag bikes.
I owned the ZL1000 version in the mid 80's (UK).. they were fucking quick for the day, in fact was supposed to be quicker than the Max off the line, till V boost cut in.
Dont know if they were unpopular as they were a 'failure'?, or just limited numbers sold as the Max was a lot better bike overall, same happened to the Magna and Madura. I rode both Max and my Eliminator, and the Kwaka was far more comfortable, but was very long and handled like a truck round bends.

There must be good weed in Katikati to dream that up.

If the mileage is correct it wouldn't be far off, however, those things go around the clock quite easily & I find it a bit odd that I sold the same model a couple of months ago that I'd had for 17 years with 95,000k on it & it looked a lot tidier than that.

[Hobbyhorse]

I have a full faired R80RT in very good condition, and also an R80 set up for gravel road work and I paid only half the asking price of the R100RS, for each one.

Well yeah obviously. It just doesn't add any value to the bike, nor the ad. Perhaps if it happened a month or so ago, but not a few years ago. It's the sort of thing you explain to a buyer in person to make sure you're being honest and that they know what they are getting, not something you put on the listing.

You might be right but it seems pretty optimistic compared to this (http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbikes/motorbikes/sports/auction-747955475.htm) or this (http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbikes/motorbikes/sports/auction-760041068.htm).

It is tidy but most people buy first gen GSXR1000s because they can't afford a newer one, I can't remember the last time I saw a private seller asking more than $7k for one.

Nope. The K1 K2 is a very capable sports bike. What it has over the K3 K4 K5 K6 is comfort. It's a mental bike that you can ride from Dunedin to Aukland. I know, I've done it.

It's a different market essentially...but I've had a K6 too, and that would be my pick. Because there is NO better motor in any bike I've ever ridden.

[imdying]

A family sized motorcycle? It's not a motorcycle, it's a trike. Riding that you're not a motorcyclist. I'm not surprised they don't want to be known as trikers though, would you want to admit you ride something that ugly?

[pritch]

I think I might send an email to Arai.

You shouldn't need to email anybody it's all available on the web. Asians tend to have a longer narrower head shape than Europeans so Arai make different model helmets for different head shapes: oval, long oval, etc. You need to do your homework before you buy an Arai from overseas, you need to know which models come in which headshapes and which will fit you. I bought an Arai that was on "special" in the USA but I already had an Arai and knew all this so was OK.

When you get it right there is no more comfortable helmet.

Then again this has all been discussed on KB in some depth previously.

[Crasherfromwayback]

[F5 Dave]

Arai was most comfortable and treasured but they don't come out so well in Sharp tests for side impact, so I figured Sharp must be cobblers. I took a while and read their testing methodology and could only conclude. That they appeared to be well motivated and well researched so maybe they did have a point. Maybe the min std all helmets are pretty good if they pass snell or dot is a myth. Anyways. .. .

There's a shit load of stuff around the web on this. Arai say that the place Sharp do the side impact test is unlikely to be hit because the rider's shoulder would prevent contact with the ground at that point. I still think Sharp need to refine their methodology, it's like they sat a helmet on a table and decided to test it' "here, here, and here." Alas, it seems no real world riding considerations were involved.

Some doctors feel the Snell test makes for an excessively stiff helmet shell and that a more flexible shell (as with some European designs) is better.

As always, you pays your money and you makes your choice, but I don't feel any less safe in an Arai than I do in my "five star" AGV.

Just spamming you here, but where'd you get the fairings, mirror indicators, and hugger? Ebay jobbies? Nice looking bike.

So when I put an ad on here a while back, and you replied asking me where the extra's came from and told me it was a nice looking bike.

You didn't think to mention the price then?

I am open to Near Offers. $5000 is only 64% of my ask, Thats not near. Thats almost halfway back.

[Mike.Gayner]

$5k is a pretty cheeky offer for that bike. As someone who was recently looking for a bike in that price range, if that had come up for $5k I would have taken it instantly sight unseen.

People say the extras don't add any value, but I'm not so sure. Let's see how those same people react when you say you'll just go ahead and take the extras off before handing it over on sale.

Good extras retain value. Ohlins shocks for example.. you dont get anything extra if one is in the bike when you sell, but if you put it back to stock you will be able to onsell it. And if it is apopular model you will be able to onsell.

[mossy1200]

Even if they haven't added a lot of value they still make the bike more likely to be chosen over a stock one at about the same price.

[BlackSheepLogic]

Sometimes, but for mainly cosmetics, it really personal taste and we are all different. As a rule much more interest in the stock bike's. In the case of the bike in question here, it's too personalized - IMO.

Which is what they are selling for. Mate bought one for $4.5k a while back. I looked at them before I got my bike. Most that are on TM are the same ones that were on back then. Just because people are asking 7k for one does not mean that is what they are selling for.

Sure you can ride it if I get one. Disclaimer-If I do get one the answer will be NO.

$5000 is too low - $6800-7200 range is fair for a 2007 (K7)

If you want to spend $4500-5000 buy a 2003 (K3)

Have Kawasaki saying how many H2's they will be building??

[mossy1200]

Id say $7800 is touching on the optimistic side.

Don't think so but the shops taking orders so must be a few if NZ is able to get some seeing as we get Aussie cast offs for Kawasaki.

[russd7]

Just got mail that the new H2 supercharged will be $35,000

so can I add this to the optimistic list.

Photographing a black bike in shadows doesn't show a buyer much. The bike is worth about $15-1700 in my opinion. It is 21 years old after all.

My pet hates are photos that are horizontal rather than up and down, bikes parked in a cluttered half dark garage and lots of photos showing the same side of the bike.

Some sellers dont really want to attract buyers when you see the lack of effort put into presenting their bike.

[BlackSheepLogic]

They probably trying to hide something. Good clean bikes well cared for by the owner... those owners will make an effort.

I can do that sort of mileage in an average month.

It's like going to an up market brothel, hiring the expensive best looking hooker and forgeting to have sex. Doh!

They're not motorcyclists in my book so good thing it's being sold. Hopefully to someone who will actually use it and appreciate having a bike.

PCV, under tray, hugger, dyno work and the other parts used were expensive and not required for a rebuild insurance.
Normally I don't judge chicken strips to mean a lot but they are huge ones.

Rego until December 2015 if that not typo hes added a year to it even though it was current.

Let the good times roll.

I just remembered.
Two mates had Bathurst Monaro's in the mid 1980's both cost under $5000, how much now..... not to mention the Ford 427 I picked up for $1000 in 1984... yikes.

6 years.

Which is still pretty strange. Could it be an old listing edited for a different bike?

[breakaway]

No. You can only edit a listing for 7 days or something after starting it. Infact if memory serves you can't change the "Make" field under any circumstance. Otherwise trademe would be missing out on some of that sweet sweet revenue from people just editing old listings.

[Ender EnZed]

Didn't think so.

Maybe it sold years ago and they forgot about the listing? Hard to imagine why a dealer would hold to a bike for so long if they want it sold. It makes plenty of sense in the "wife wants it gone" situations, maybe it's at the dealer on behalf.

[yevjenko]

Maybe it's the dealers own bike and it's been up for sale all the time he's owned it. Seems the price has dropped over the years.

The 7 day thing is new for classified ads, used to be 30 days. As he's a dealer he probably listed it with auto base and gets round the time limitation

Fantastic machine. Can't see myself owning one though. I'd get the same amount of enjoyment out of a modern I4.

But what does a 916 have on a ZX10 or R1 (asides from baller status)?Arguably the sexiest bike ever. Other than that, they have fuck all. I'm very anti Ducati though.

The performance isn't the main reason I'm buying it, its just a fantastic looking bike that sounds just as good. When I test rode a 1098s a week ago it put a massive smile on my face that returned every time I thought of the bike and the 1198 is pretty much just an updated version of that.

None of the Jap 1000cc bikes do that for me and they all feel very similar.

There were a few tidy 916s for ~$7k a couple years ago. That might've been the lowest they'll ever go.

The 1198S is a significantly different bike though. A shit-tonne faster than a 916. Probably not faster for anyone than a new Jappa (or a near new Jappa for 15) but when they're all just unnecessary objects that happen to make you feel real good then they start to make sense. Some people prefer v-twins, 5 years ago the closest 2 cylinder competitor would've been the Buell 1125? Or Aprilia RSVR but the V4 made that obsolete overnight. Correct me if I've forgotten something.

Only thing I'd suggest is considering something like a V4 Tuono or MV Agusta Brutale. They can be had with some serious Italia bling but are aimed a lot further towards road (esp. NZ roads) use than the 1198.

That's all it takes to put it on the perma-want list though.Many people feel the same way I'm sure.

ZXR250 for 5200ono anyone?

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbikes/motorbikes/sports/auction-809911061.htm

I knew the guy who owned it before this guy. He wasn't 80 years old and he thrashed the fuck out of it regularly. The bike has trouble starting most of the time and I'm pretty sure the KMs are wrong.
The guy probably only used it 5 or 6 times because it's fukt.

Oh also my friend sold it for under 2k

You win. :not: I am however, worried how you find all these auctions... Perhaps your bike needs some riding :msn-wink:

You should totally get that though, the seller says it just needs some TLC (and maybe a junk yard/bonfire)

[BlackSheepLogic]

For a minter like this one I would need to be paid to take it. Even then I probably would pass on the deal.

Being that its particularly aircooled. Well spotted. Old 750.

Looking at the comments, he's a real find too.

[Virago]

I wonder how you crash start it without a chain.

I wonder why you would want to do anything this side of lighting it on fire.

If a alloy frame and swingarm are damaged can it get a warrant of fitness? Refer photos in the listing.

Minor cosmetic scrapes, it's still structurally sound. Also doesn't qualify as an optimistic seller as it has a very low reserve, letting the market decide.

Not sure idd say minor. The rear swingarm has tape over the damage and then painted over the tape. Could even be a hole.
The frame on FZR1000 is not boxed alloy its like a C channel and I wouldn't be wanting to put a guarantee on its strength.

Not saying the seller is optimistic but the garage that put it through WOF and only failed tyres might be.

Hmm, wonder if he has an LVV for those yellow spots - I doubt s. Also wonder if he replaced front m/c with the 14mm those should run.

[F5 Dave]

Restoration for the Charger? Nah mate that's just patina. Run it like it is for a while, goes as good as gold. Or maybe it needs points or some such. "Any questions?". "Yeah mate, does your Caps button on her PCnot work?"

50k for what might be the metal half of an old sword.

If he could sell all his swanky shiz stuff he would be indeed rich.

[HenryDorsetCase]

that Charger is a gem. Do want.

[HenryDorsetCase]

FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT THAT AWARE ! THIS SWORD HAS A LION STAMP THAT APEARS ON OVER MORE THAN LIKELY AT LEAST A HUNDRED SWORDS IN EXISTANCE' , A LOT THEM IN PRIVATE COLLECTIONS AND MUSEUMS ' SO THIS SWORD IS A VARIFIED TEMPLAR SWORD !!!

You have been told, bitches.

Wonder if him and the guy with the $60k Superglide are brother-cousins?

I reckon he has had another Tardme ID which has been cancelled andhe has created a new one to get rid of the bad feedbacks. I wouldnt bid on any of his shit because he cannot construct an English sentence.

Its could be a beaten down charger part with a lion stamp added for increased value. Hes done this hundreds of times in the past with old car parts and they are even in collections and museums.

Templar Sword $279

maybe if he shined his one up and gave it an edge it might be worth half that: it has no hilt or handle after all.

[jim.cox]

He's dreaming

Doesn't have much of a tang - so likely to be blade heavy and weak for combat use. The blade is also thinner than most medieval swords.

It's from a later period and probably was a dress or court sword I reccon.

[Madness]

You guys! The sword must be gen-u-ine, he wants to be able to buy it back again one day. When he sells the Charger and all that other shit no doubt.

Probably just a cashflow issue :shutup:

[Hobbyhorse]

In 1978 when we were sailing up the Red Sea we stopped off in Sudan and did buy a sword with the same markings on it. My one is a little different in that it does have a handle and a scabbard. We were told that this was the standard sword as carried by the Arabs for self protection when riding through the desert. Obviously the Sudanese informant was wrong and my sword is very valuable.

We bought the sword in a place called Suakin ... the guy who made them was in the next village and could be found at the local market.

we should be offering him this advice by way of question on his auction..... how long before he blew a gasket? think he'd chuck in that near ming GS550 the one that "would run" if only it had a cover over the ignition and the other two exhaust pipes.....

Both almost correct. For no extra cost if your in the next 10 callers you not only get the boat but you also get a 40hp bullet engine plus a matching inverter and 3 Large batteries. This is the eco friendly bullet boat delux.

And we will give you a second bullet for the kitchen or your mates commercial trawler.

How much for this you ask.
