Optimistic sellers

So you can't wear glasses with a helmet apparently.

That struck me, too. Better tell my dad, because he's been doing it. He better sell the bike and buy a van or something.

[HenryDorsetCase]

I've been doing it since 1978. Having said that, deteriorating vision on a bike = not a good thing.

It's missing the pack rack and headlight guard.

I had a Falco and I thought it was okay... until I got a Tuono. Detuned engine and mid-way riding position is a strange compromise. I didn't have any problems with the handling but pretty much any other litre twin will eat you at the traffic light grand prix.

This one listed has some definite improvements/mods and that guy rides it well.

I don't think this price is necessarily that optimistic, but the seller is completely schizophrenic. From his auction:

But looking at his feedback, he only bought the bike two weeks ago (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=841350964). He paid $2,500 for it, believing for some reason it was in "mint condition". Now he has declined an offer of $2,600, stating "I think 2600 is far too cheap for bike that will never be made again these are becoming very rare indeed".

But let's look at the feedback he left on the bike when he bought it two weeks ago:

What an utter wanker this guy is.

I see it's now been withdrawn. I'm guessing the Q&A got too much.

I think the idea is to run it at 10 pounds so it flexes in the corners. Or you can run 80 pounds so it forms a D shape with the pressure.
They call it a real riders bike because you need be a really good rider to ride it around a bend.

if it was dereg with accident damage, its required to have a frame and fork inspection I think? My neighbour who rebuilt a CBR1000RR did that and the bike was absolutely perfect.

Oh go on then.... - ah it's a classified ad, not an auction. questions don't appear on the ad.

[pzkpfw]

Used to see the same thing in the pre-LAMS days.

Someone would stick a 400 cc engine in a bike still registered as a 250 - and tell potential buyers it's all legal.

If someone knows what they're getting into, whatever, their choice to take on the risk; but it was really annoying to see newbies led into possible crap by straight out lies. To the extent that, after asking pointed questions that never appeared, I reported some listings to the TardMe police (yes, I'm a nark), but never saw any action. (TardMe don't care as long as they do get their fees and don't get in the news.)

You're meant to silicone them, and there are no oil ways that go through the rocker cover sealing surface, or near it. Even a fairly fine smear will shit out the sides
However, the orange silicon looks shit when not cleaned off.

A styling exercise on a budget bike. They are OK to bop around the suburbs but gasping on motorway. There were fruggin squillions of them dumped here and sold off cheap.

[F5 Dave]

In the 80s & 90s & even now Suzuki & Honda et all used NZ as a dumping ground for bikes that were stacked in warehouses in Japan. That's why we got DR400s, XT400s, XZ400s & the like. Wasn't all bad we got RG50s & also FXR150s/RG150s presumably from Thailand.
Honda dumped all the unpopular explosive MVX250s I remember seeing lines of them at Sawyers in wgtn whilst on the schoolbus. GBs were dumped here sort of a one time deal there were heaps, but not like they were imported for years, just a 'here's heaps try get rid of the things'. Couldn't move for them, same with Suzuki Impulses. RF900s were imported normally for like 17k & then they started dumping US & Euro ones of various spec14k, 13k, 12k, 11k. I knew someone who'd bought a full price one, not impressed. Especially as they are a pucey bike. Don't buy one.

Being singles the GBs eventually were revved crazy, run dry, died & were bought by wreckers for very little money & engines (which killed starter clutches) were picked over & the rest weighed in for scrap ally.

Cheap & cheerful fun, but disposable. A classic? Nah, no more than a Kawasaki Zephyr & nobody remembers them.

I admire your 'save now before buy' policy, lived that way my life. You just have to be careful of too many projects while you are young & poor.

I bought one brand new in 1988. Paid full price of $4299 for it from Sawyer Honda. It was the cool one too. single seat and fairing that they called the "Mark 2" or something.

I liked it. Good handling on a smooth road and sprung and damped OK especially compared to a lot of the land whales around at the time.

What did not impress me was Blue Wang dropping the price six months later to $3799, destroying the second hand value. My excuse for buying it was to teach SWMBO to ride on it but it never happened.

I would not buy another but I still think they are a nice looking thing. Lots of people have fucked about with them: 630cc and stuff which would be fun enough.

I owned an SRX-6 at one point some years later and that was a way better bike IMO.

Now I want a Royal Enfield. something about the one-lungers....

[Icemaestro]

I wanted a gb500 a number of years ago til I sat on a gb400 and realised it had no guts and didn't even sound like a good thumper. Just bought myself an srx600 91 model with aftermarket exhaust and man this thing sounds great!!!

Holy crap! Definitely "Optimistic" from window shoppers point of view.

If I had the coin I'd buy it. Very fair price I reckon.

[T.W.R]

I'm gixxer through and through, but the 0W01 would be my first pick of that litter.

Have a close look at the one they're selling :msn-wink: Yoshimura japan didn't source their pipes from the US yet that one is boldly displaying a Yoshimura made in the USA pipe :lol:
For sure the OW01 would be the pick of the ones from CG but the N1 would be my personal favorite to have :drool: missed one 10yrs ago and this sod is another just out of reach :brick:

[98tls]

Don't think you can compare RC30's and 45's with SP1's/2's mate.

Could and should have bought an RC30 many moons ago when living in Wellington,always have regretted not buying the thing.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Certainly my choice of collectable Honda road bikes mate. Far rather have an RC30 than a 45.

Yea me to mate,been trying to remember the name of the shop that had the bloody thing,sales guy was shortish dude and somewhat tubby,good bugger and can remember one morning leaving for work from Jville and when getting down to where motorway merges with the hutt travellers there he was on a brand spanking Fireblade in the next lane,was gridlock so we had a yarn whilst slowly moving then he starts doing mini wheelies when enough gap opened up,possibly it was "Sawyers":confused:long time ago so maybe not,do remember the RC well though,rode it and it was truly awesome.

Sounds like you are talking about Richard Scholer (prob crap spelling) from the old defunct Honda City (he worked in the Taranaki street, Wellington branch). Their Lower Hutt shop had a used (standard) RC30 for sale. I took it for a good thrash and was impressed with the handling, but the power was a huge disappointment. I had just stepped off a GSXR1100 though. I too would prefer a RC30 over a RC45 which I thought was over priced rubbish at the time it came out. However now I'm not as anti honda as I once was I'm sure I would really appreciate the build quality and engineering of one now. I never rated the SP1 or SP2 either, but would prob even appreciate those now days. Personally I dream of finding a little old lady with a RG500 or RZ500 one of their kids abandoned in a dry shed years ago for next to no money, dreams are free :lol:

I wonder how he'll respond if I offer him half the asking price? Plus that's an 06-07 manufactured model, probably late NZ registered in 2009.

Basically a 10 year old bike for $15k.

[F5 Dave]

A mate bought her 06 10 which is light damage but otherwise fine for some silly price like 5k. 3x is not 3x better.

[HenryDorsetCase]

Why is that Crasher? Genuine HRC-built homologation special and all.

I've always wondered why the SPs are rated so far below the 30/45s.

Genuine query.

I'd totally have an SP1 or SP2. and have a chance of affording one...... RC30/45 not so much it seems.

Probably a home market RC30. I spent a lot of time some years back rebuilding the motor and sorting out a home market RC for a mate incl fitting the right ignition box. i wasn't impressed by the build quality of the motor either. Eventually got 118hp at the wheel out of it with a quiet can and stock cams.
Never felt powerful though - all the V4 hondas have linear power curves with none of the GSXR's fun humps and big surges.

agree entirely. the only thing I like about it is the red metalflake paint on the tank.

I have seen them for $8999 brand new including onroads. some judicious mods and a nice little city bike. I really like the Scramblerised ones... though for the money you may as well buy an old XT500. except kickstart. I have a dent in my shin from kickstarting one when I was 15.

The cx 500 complete kit is 795 pounds - $2000 plus freight and bike worth $1000 plus $1200 paint max. Cost under $4000. Resale value would be under $4k for a quick sale. $8k is in dream land. Mine will owe $5.5 and idd say its quick sale value would be $4k. Its only really worth money to the guy that builds it. To others its just a bike purchase. Imagine someone asking you how long it took to build your bike and having to say someone else built it. I would be embarrassed (its likely I wouldn't want park it near people that might ask questions).:(

9 and a half thousand on the odometer. Have to wonder what the point of all that expense was on a bike that has hardly been ridden.

Modified 2007 Thruxton for the price of a new one! Somebody hasn't realised that all that shit you put on it doesn't make it more valuable.

9 and a half thousand on the odometer. Have to wonder what the point of all that expense was on a bike that has hardly been ridden.

Yes. People dress them up with pointless farkles. I have toyed with the idea of one with no balancer shaft, 904cc, ported, Flatslides and straight pipes, with decent forks and light wheels and good suspension and a massive weight reduction programme....

Sure, its $20k, but it would surprise a lot of people and be cool as fuck.

In fact:

that. I want that. (the top one on the spoked wheels)

I dont think Richard Pollock has ever built a bike I wouldn't own. or covet. or something.

[roogazza]

Ok here's a test for you knowledgable dudettes.
Have a K6 Suzuki thou. Uncrashed and pretty good nick. Under 40kms
and as can be seen, coloured silver and black. Only ridden to church sundays by an old pensioner.
311313
What sort of money would it pull ?

OR : I love the thing and plan to fighter it,with bars and more adjustable pegs.The old body just isn't enjoying the style anymore.So, if I got a couple of bob for it,I'd move it to a good home.
Otherwise I'll change the personna and keep the beast forever.

LSL bars and some adjustable footpegs, maybe some brakelines and fucking about. A grand? maybe a bit more?

How much sunk money have you got in the old girl? Plenty. Tart it up and keep it.

I'd never consider a Bonnie.. . until I saw that one, and more the second one. Would be interesting how much weight was pulled off as it was just embarrassing that the 60s version had similar performance.

Thanks for the replies and pms.
Just purchase price on paper when I bought it years ago.
But like many ? I really can't be bothered going thru the selling process. ( Pms say 8 and a half grand).
The Tart up appeals, so I can still enjoy a fang or trackday occasionally.It has a wonderful engine. Something to fiddle with too.

Nah you see before I listed my bike, I emailed 4 sellers who were selling the same bike as mine, very similar kms (about 3000km difference between the range) and same condition and year, over the last 2 months asking them to tell me when they sold their bike (so I knew how long it took) and what price they sold it at.
All 4 replied to me, longest sale took 4 weeks because they didn't budge from their asking price of $4500. Rest sold within 2 weeks at $4000-$4300.

So I got to work and listed mine and did exactly what they did, listed for a higher amount and knew my final price in mind which was $4100.
I listed the bike on friday 24th April and had 4 people come and view it.
It sold last night, just over a week on the market and I got exactly the price I wanted of $4100.

So you could say I knew my market, priced it well and won in the end. I can refuse offers if I deem the buyer to be an idiot, I'm not desperate for a sale.

In my experience of selling many cars and bikes on trademe, people who offer cash like that are time wasters. They have no intention of buying, just fishing. How did that guy go up from $3500 to 4k? Going by what you guys say, I'd be a fool to refuse $3500 seeing as the market offers it!

Most who are serious will call, or if they txt they will txt in an educated manner most others aren't worth my time and I rather my vehicles go to good homes than shitty ones where they fuck it and then try hit me up saying I sold them a dud vehicle or something.

You misunderstand, refusing an offer is fine, especially if you are sure of what you can get, or not desperate for a sale. Getting your panties bunched because some dude offers you less is the waste of time, and it was your choice. Why didn't you just respond with '4100 firm' each time?

Fair enough if that's what you meant. If I said $4100 he should know the first time. After that it's just me playing games like he is. Nothing wrong with it. I'd say the bigger asshole is the one who keeps pestering when they already know the boundaries.

If I say I'll pay cash, it means I'm bringing the paper with me to make a deal on the spot. Otherwise could be bank cheque, or internet banking, or generally faffing you about.

Yes. People dress them up with pointless farkles. I have toyed with the idea of one with no balancer shaft, 904cc, ported, Flatslides and straight pipes, with decent forks and light wheels and good suspension and a massive weight reduction programme....

My adopted grandfather used to pay for everything with cash, including houses, and he never tossed the word around like people do on trademe. It's really not a big deal, it's how you pay for shit.

Considering you don't usually get a vehicle until the seller has the money in full, cash is more of a convenience for a buyer than a seller.
If anything large sums of cash are more of a hassle than internet banking if you don't have a safe place to put it.

Banks are pushing cheques out the door soon. They are the only way you can give them a big fuck you and withdraw all your money on the spot at the moment.

ha, I bought a bike for 11k once. it was all in $20s as most of it was cash id been saving up. Id stashed it in a drawer in my room, rolled up in lots of $500, held with a rubber band. some of it had been curled up like that for months.
so when I went to the bank and dumped 11k on the counter, they took the rubber bands off, it stayed rolled up tight. Took the poor lady quite a few attempts to count it, as she couldnt roll it out flat, so I stood there trying not to laugh for nearly half an hour while the struggled to get it all counted. poor lady was close to telling me to fuck off i think.:nya:

How much longer will we be able to pay with cash though, especially large amounts. I recently transferred via internet banking about $20K into my Westpac account from a credit union account for the purchase of a vehicle.

Nothing that exciting sadly. Picked him up from the airport, turned out to be an Asian student. $20k in 4 neat ANZ logo'd bags gave extra reassurance, but I still checked. So much cash some of those kids.

And no, I didn't keep the bag. Wasn't sure what else it had lugged over the years... :Police:

[F5 Dave]

Asians often have a bad habit of carrying around wads of cash which can make them a target. I remember getting 5k to buy a van and virtually sweating the whole time, could have had a sign hanging around my neck. Guess I wouldn't do good as a professional poker player.

That's just a pathetic excuse. If you read the rules (which sadly I have had to) there is no restriction about accepting cash: just some reporting and declaration and whatnot. As long as the money is legit then they're fine. All they are doing is going "I cannot be arsed handling this and being responsible for it.".
