might not be every ones cup of tea but there's a lot of work gone into this bike

[F5 Dave]

Ahh, spring. The listings are cluttered up with all the usual suspects and several familiar faces have been relisted again for the new season.
But blow me down the H2 seems to have disappeared. Must have got slack with the renewal, but it must have been the oldest listing of any object on Trade me.

Looks like an early GSX 'E' tank, probably about the same age as the rest of the bike, at least the kwaka badges fit reasonably well. He's right about the primary chain rattle at idle, they all seem to do that.

I'd rather have it stock, but it probably had to many rusty chrome bits to make it viable. Certainly added a fair bit of steel with the seat support gussets, wonder if it has a cert for that.....

[F5 Dave]

All Irremember is riding mine home. I bought it to replace my RD350 (with 250 stickers) as I got too scared to take it to sit my provisional. And it was oiling rh plug.

But the ride home was seriously underwhelming. The constant silting up of carbs from dreaded rusting Suzuki tank was another inconvenience.

[neels]

Looked at a pair of E's a couple of weekends ago, can't remember if they were 250's or 400's, was very tempted at $450 for the pair partly in bits but with both rego's on hold.

Need a bigger garage....

three and a half its good buying - provided it runs OK. If you had a real shitter and turned it into that you'd be pretty happy I reckon.

The guy sounds like a total full of himself tossbag.

It's just possible that your occupation colours your view of it? I'd rank that as the second best ad I've seen. Bettered only by the guy who was selling a crash helmet because his wife had left him. (Long story. Long but fucking hilarious.)

It seems Triumph UK know about the ad, but it's still there. As Dangerous Bastard used to say, it has gone international. Can't help feeling that even a basic level of customer service could have avoided that.

At least he hasn't written a song about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YGc4zOqozo

And right there is the truth. Very much implied the shop just stuck up a finger or two to their customer. It happens that every now and then a dud is produced - not necessarily reflective of the breed just a black sheep in the flock, how the dealer/factory treats the dud dictates the owners response.

So this has been sitting unsold on tardme for more than a year at $16k. Did some misguided fool express an interest at that money. hence you've put the price up to $18k?

not of this era, there were so many changes over a couple of decades that people have very narrow tastes, and they are now getting too old to bother, would rather buy a roadwhale and ride, maybe the older goldstars and vincents are going up but not much early jap bikes.

I really like the look of these but they are 14 - 15 years old, orphans (never came to NZ new) and the sellers without exception want stupid money for them.

the cheapest one I have ever seen is like $5995, but over $7k - fucking dreamer.

I think it was after the big Bikoi thing, III was on here drumming up support for more "radical" protest action but no surprise, got fuck all of a response. John Key was doing a ribbon cutting thing at Whitianga marina (from memory) when III and a small group of others heckled the fuck out of him and got on the 6 o'clock news for it.

I heard another story from Maha and Mom. This was some months ago and I don't remember much but the story goes he was a bar talk warrior saying we should do this and that I'm gonna do this! But during the actual protest he didn't even squeak. I could be wrong or could be the wrong guy. Best to hear from who was actually there.

Not sure I would rate the Genesis a better bike having owned one.
The exups lifted the game as a better sports option in 1989.

Think I would far rather invest in a early gsxr1100 personally.

I've owned 3 FZR1000's (2 T's and one B), and four GSXR1100 slabbies. I own one now. But in my opinion, the FZR1000T is hands down a better bike than the Slabbies.

[jafagsx250]

I will take one of these if I had the coin same price .....http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbikes/motorbikes/sports/auction-1194074415.htm

For a new Supersport that is seriously cheap. How much do they normally sell for?

[idleidolidyll]

Bimota means beautiful big air cooled Suzuki 1100 powered gem. The SB4 was their finest hour.

Perhaps, Billy reckons his SB8 was better, I prefer the DB10

[jasonu]

Yeah it's weird. You can fetch that any day of the week for a GSXR1100, but despite the FZR being a better bike...you'll prob never get that for one, despite how nice an example it is.

I've owned both and I think the GSXR was and still is by far the better bike.

[Crasherfromwayback]

I've owned both and I think the GSXR was and still is by far the better bike.

And that's great. I own one now, so obviously prefer them too. But I'll never agree they're the better bike. Chassis wise, they're not even in the same league. The forks on the GSXR with their anti dive are fucking shit, and the brakes are nowhere near as good as the FZr's. But...I'd still rather have my GSXR. Cause I like them more. Work that out.

Worked on a lot of both, ridden both quite a bit.
The FZR is a great bike looking for a better engine - the GSXR is a great engine in a slightly below par frame.

But as most of us are more impressed by how a bike responds to throttle rather than ultimate handling, the GSXR impresses more people.

Have to agree with this. Both are crying out for another gear too. But the GSXR def has great low end /mid range grunt the five valve is lacking.

Yep. I reckon the FZR is way smoother too. Every Slabbie I've had has numbed my hands. It too, is strangled by the exhaust. Put a decent pipe on them and they come alive. It's amazing they got them as light as they did with the std exhaust too. It weights a fucking tonne! But the FZR is def a well built engine. 45000kms between valve adjustments...and even then, you're often wasting your time checking them.

Big dollars alright but with low kms like that and apparently tidy condition probably not a bad place to start. It'll attract the attention of a specific buyer (enthusiast or collector) and they'll negotiate a fair (to both parties) price. Definitely a nice example, be hard pressed to find another like it in NZ.

Someone doesn't want to sell their bike.

Seller "I brought the bike sight unseen without inspection in Auckland. The bike can be brought by pushing the "buy now " option and coming up with the cash. If it does not sell I am happy to keep riding it. Not sure why you have filled out the question as the bike is for sale and can be purchased"

Potential CASH Buyer "There is a difference between available for sale and it selling.

i had one of these years ago, was fun but not mind blowingly fun, they have a weak gearbox in this model, the following upgraded model fixed that. mine pinged second gear (the wheelie gear for me..) and i sold it for $500 then saw it a few years later on trademe for $13,500 :laugh:

They sound nice and were quite nice to ride comparatively but that's all! They are missing a bit of finesse and reliability. I had the Darmah which is a very similar bike, I loved it but couldn't wait to sell it!

[Grumph]

At that price I'd expect hand delivery anywhere in NZ - and a blow job thrown in.

Their best use is as a base for a replica 900SS - which is still not worth that much.

Probably not, no. It depends what you are looking to do with the bike, you are comparing a super sport to a typically commuter bike.
Is a $35k Harley worth the same coin as an H2? To me, no way!!

CB400's are traditionally expensive..weather they're 'worth it' or not is up to the individual. Unsure why they are priced that way. They are simple, nothing special bikes, no frills, no surprises, what you see is what you get; but maybe that's why, similar to the Harley in paying for tradition. I do bet your bottom dollar the GSXR will shit out a lot quicker than the CB (assuming the manufacturing year was equal).

My point was that this thread is for ridiculing muppets asking way to much for stuff. That CB should be $5k tops, though I'm sure it will sell for more.

As to the Gixxer fucking out first, I couldn't see it. I'm willin to bet the CB is the first to start burning oIL.

I know, and I'm challenging the view that he's being optimistic.

Why should it be $5k tops? (I agree they're expensive, don't get me wrong)
..Why are Harley's asking price $25k when all you're buying is a metal brick with chrome that converts fuel to noise? Similar argument with the CB, because that's what the market sets them at. Doesn't matter what yourself would pay for it.

I wouldn't call him a muppet for asking for that price. It will sell for more because $5k for a CB400 well below market, why would he ask for less? I just disagree he fits in with the rest of the links in the thread.

Show me a CB400 >2010 going for $5k..no $6k and I'll agree
Even in Japan, where the bike is manufactured you wouldn't get one for that!

Having (briefly) had one of them back in the day, I would say it is an improvement over stock.

[Autech]

Most def. I'd own one. Maybe two. The second for when I'd worn out the first.

I knew a bloke that wanted one of those for an everyday Classic a few years ago. When he finally got one it was fairly close to the biggest dissapointment of his life & was on sold within a few months.
