What sort of TLC is needed?

I am fairly interested in this bike but it would be a big risk to come from Auckland to collect and ride home.

Thanks, Sam

HI, a few things are needed.

Front tyre is going to be needed.

needs a head light wiring (for WoF) ( we will do that )

needs rear brakes checked, they are soft ( we will do that)

other than those things it just needs a general tidy up really, cosmetics

I am more than happy to take more photos, vids..etc..etc

if you think its a big risk: you probably cant afford it.

Not to bag on the OP sale. Nc24 are some of the less gay h*ndas.

That is a pretty good price for a NC30, someone will take it off your hands fairly soon I would think.

Yeah ermmm it's nothing to do with the costs. Sorry for wanting more information on something I want to potentially purchase. People have many different thoughts on what TLC consists of. I doubt anyone sees a 3rd,4th or 5th hand bike and just says "shut up and take my money" without asking any questions, lol.

Sorry I asked a question about a bike I couldn't possibly afford.

take off and burn that aftermarket fairing bra on the CB900. Whoever invented that "it-looks-like-an-Aprilla-rs250-made-love-to-an-Indonesian-scooter" part needs to burn in hell. It's as cool as an ice-cream container lid.

The VFR and the MR2's can stay. They are ok. Just ensure that CB gets a headlight it deserves.

lol I love the exhaust, the video does not sound like it does in person, reminds me of an old kawi 500 2 stroke I had back in the day

The bike was given a good service by the people I bought it off and only did a small mileage in their ownership. Very fussy people, possibly more than u n Tat (my wife is also a mechanic). Rego on hold over winter not rain ridden.
They checked the engine over and all was fine. I did all the servicing when it was needed giving it to a bike mechanic up here (new Plymouth) to be done. Everything has been done when its been needed servicing wise but the valves have been fine as there has been no mention of needing to do them.
Oil n filter was done when the fairing was off n just before it went back on again and has done less than 1500km since.

Um I think thats all.

lol thanks, I think, I am afraid what you would say about my Beemer single if you saw it in the pic, the headlight mod was done by the previous owner and no I dont like it either.
