Optimistic sellers

[v twin]

Once followed a chap on one who was pushing a TL on the Akaroa GP, was bloody scary watching the way it took a corner, was relatively easy to sit behind him on my GIXXER 600 thinking "Fuck I am glad I am not riding that bike" That said the rider could just have been shit.

I do have a hankering for a big twin, been debating a SV1000 for many moons as a 2 up bike for me and the Mrs to float about on.

Ha he was probably a good rider, my old mate was fucking smooth on anything and could leave me for dead most of the time.....not on the tl s though. I could chill behind him watching it squirm all over the road.

Can't beat a v twin in for me, good for all occasions. had jap zx7r r1 gixerk1 even a bandit but once I got on the aprilia rsv that was me sold. Always wanted a duc 916, rode my mates back in the day and it was so much smoother than the aprilia but I was a orangutan on the thing. Built for the little people unfortunately

I reckon both the riders mentioned must be fucken useless.

They get out of shape a bit on the track a bit after a couple laps, but nothing ya can't keep a handle on.

[Tazz]

Get with it mate! Just like saying come fuck me and you'll get herpes. So bad...it's good! Both leave a lasting lasting impression too.

At least buy me a drink first mother fawker!

No doubting it's fun, but if something with springs and shocks handles the same as something without then there has been a horrible mistake somewhere along the line I would think :laugh:

i brought a one of the first tl1000 in the country for brian bernard to race in a deal direct with suzuki nz, tony ress was given one and shelved it after the first meeting and went back to his gsr750, from memory we got some good suspension in from aussie and a power commander or similar too. dunno whether tony got that though.

As a serious race bike they were lacking, off the shelf. Though, Bernard fucken owned F1 at Wanganui on an Ohlins equipped R.

But as a road bike, they're fucken fine.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Let's not tell the shop that the R has less poke than the S



.

Who told you that?

[AllanB]

Meh - it's a fat bastard, Net Weight: 197 kg (dry)

Must be that rump.

Who told you that?

That was the general thinking a few years ago.

[Crasherfromwayback]

That was the general thinking a few years ago.

I think a lot of people thought that after riding them, as the S def came on harder and felt faster, but it wasn't. The R will walk away from the S in a straight out drag.

I jumped off my sp1 years ago and tried a mates tlr and it was horrid. It felt like it wanted to push you wide in corners. Might have been the suspension settings but it was borderline scary.

can't recall the exact details but after the S he had the R then the Haybusa. He wrapped that around a lampost at Suzuki in practice and ithe team dragged the R out of the warehouse to finish the day on, Don't remember his results though.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Pretty sure we ended up with his TL1000S at WMCC to see if we could sort it out. It had been tuned to a stand still.

I could well be wrong (hardly the first time), but I'm doubting they're Ohlins forks. Too dear for such a high KM one anyway...

I have had a Ohlins shocks on four bikes and have seen a number of Ohlins forks. Those forks look wrong and the jury is out on the shock. It could be that someone got a bulk deal on Ohlins stickers?

Having issues with FB link. Some cut and paste for you.

2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250
Glen Eden, New Zealand
$3,000
Was involved in a crash from behind and therefore has damaged all fairings and a few parts of the motorway, however engine still runs and is somewhat rideable... Motor was serviced religiously and bike was mainly used to commute into town

Front Left Handlebar needs to be replaced
Gear selector needs to be replaced or can be bent back.
Will need two front indicators.

I have stopped riding also.

Could have this bike up and running and riding for under $500 or less easily.

Bike looks more worst than it really is.

Dont think a 2003 600 is really making big power unless your riding it in the top 1/3 of the rev range which means he would need riding hard to frighten himself anyway.

Its no current superbike level power, but its making plenty enough to scare the shit out of someone not accustomed to decent power

See what really gets me about sales like this is:

Has everything it needs to get a warrant and rego except the high beam indicator needs to be hooked up. And the front drum break might need some tweaking. Unfortunately I've run out of time to finish her off.

Fucks sake, a couple hours work maybe? And a WOF would greatly assist in selling the bike.

But from experience what it really means is - no way in hell it will get a WOF without a shit load of work and money .......

Why are old Harleys so dear? Who the fuck would pay $14500 for that when a brand new one is like $18k?

I quite like the nightster but for a 2009 the absolute max would have to be $10k, right?

The tank might be period but it doesn't look it with the std frame ,
IMO It would look better with a CR750
327947
or even 750 or 900F tank
327949
The RCB style tank needs the frame mods to look right

the rest of it has some nice period detail stuff.

have actually seen it in the flesh so to speak, its not pretty, but in answer to your question about why, if i remember correctly when i asked the guy who built it, the answer was along the lines of "why not" followed by "because i could" and as for a poor mans can-am, naaa, he actually put a lot of time and effort in to this thing, and if i remember correctly the mini part is not quite full size, different yes, not my thing, but hey its different and some one did it

Hmmm - if the tank has enough layers of polish you may be able to zoom in on the image and see a reflection of her boobies.

Now to be fair looking at her skinny legs and boney back there may not be much to reflect but genetics are weird and sometimes you get a large set on a slight frame.

JS can remain a mystery as he isn't worth an extra grand.

It might pay to ride the new one if you can, they make about 20% less power than the current one. Allegedly extra torque makes up for that but I'd like to check.

I trust y'all will forgive me but in the circumstances this is not entirely inappropriate? I see it's called a "high torque" engine, that has to be more appealing than a low horsepower engine.

it's probably got fuck all hp so they have to 'talk' up something about it to try to make it sound less crap.

[F5 Dave]

It's why you never see hp figures for hardlys. A big figure means nothing if it doesn't rev worth a damn. An R6 produces more torque are the rear wheel than enormous plodders. What it doesn't have is much power at low rpm and that can feel pronounced with such an enormous revi range.

There you go. Est 53hp. About the same as a 1340 evo last century.

Or an R100 of the 70s/80s to show a point of lack of progress.

you're right --- i'm just in the market --- thinking about the UZ125 now around same price as the benelli - http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbikes/motorbikes/scooters/auction-1198752479.htm

still won't consider the 20k 16 year old scoot for 1.7k unless there is good reason to not spend $700 more and get a brand new 125 from the same outfit? 25KM a day for next few years, it's gotta be reliable and easy to maintain

Agree. The UZ125's are the best 4 stroke scooter Suzuki have ever made. But the early ones go better than the late model ones. Not sure what they've done to them to slow them up. AG100's ( 2t's) go fucking well too if you can find a tidy low km one.

Problem with EFI and Electronic Ignitions are they are so reliable that when they don't work properly no one knows where to start.
I had my 01 T4 VW van:love: in once and it became a very expensive parts swapping exercise with no clear improvement.

Predictive text has a lot to answer for..."I'm not a machine"

Pity it's not still a 750. If it was when imported it's actually quite a rare model. I've only ever seen a couple of the alloy framed non OW 750's.
Jap home market model I think.

Just another oddity in Enfield's history. If they'd taken off in the US, there might not have been an Indian made Enfield...

With the Indian based factory introducing a twin shortly, could round off someone's collection. Still shit though...

Tell me more - I thought the 250 2T was as big as Aermacchi made for HD. Ran into a guy down here looking for parts for one of those but couldn't help him.
I was looking for one of the 125 2T singles as an Auckland customer for whom I'd built 250 and 350 4t singles would have liked a replica of the 125 customer racebike to round off his colection. Never found one.Pity, the little 125 racer is a pretty bike.

They did a 350 and a 500 (as twins), they won a fair few world championships 1 the 350 4? i think with the 250.
Tucked away at the olds is a 175 verson of the single.
Its esentially a debored 250.
its pretty basic stuff.
The Indian 125 with its minerilli engine he also has is far more exciting looking.
