Im after a good re-entry bike, must be in good order. & must be fairly cheap. say $1500 - $2000 .
not interested in Gn250s either :shifty:
but like some of the following, GSX,ZZR,FZR,CBR,VFR,SRX,VT,GBtt, or something similar.

not so, just have to settle for higher km's and not so perfect condition. A few scratches are to be expected on a 're-entry' bike anyway :ar15:

Yeah they come up sometimes but hardly ever in Chch, mostly in auckland & hamilton.which makes it quite a risk .

Im not dead set on a sportsbike either,i also like some of the cruisers out there, & could probably handle a 500ish cc cruiser due to the lower seat height.( im a short arse).

I got my 87 VFR in Chch for $1800, only had 24000k, but needed (still does) a new right fairing as was different colour. Also came with a yoshi pipe. Cheap bikes are out there you just have to look a bit harder sometimes.

*cough*

GSXR's though more sport than tour perhaps are a lot more comfy than ZXR/CBR/ZXR's

EDIT: Would Delivery to CHCH at a good rate too. Probve its reliability by riding it down in two days :2thumbsup

Umm....I think i just brought my new bike.
I jumped on trade me when I got home from work. & found this new listing.

http://www.trademe.co.nz/structure/...asp?id=36196249

rung the chap ,& while discussing the finer details, decided to hit "buy Now"

I thinks it a pretty cheap deal.

It had the seat recovered, Had a repaint,Near new tires,& apparantly runs very well,& quiet. in his words ,making a liar of the mileage.

Reg is on hold & apparantly breezes through wofs.
Its a risk i know ,but when talking to the guy I sensed he was a very legit old guy.
He hasnt been using it & is just simply over bike's.Prefers his merc instead.

I know there not that powerful.But of all the cruisers (jap) the Savage has always looked the nicest.
Cheez ive never even sat on one.... I must be mad eh. :stupid:
