Considering selling my 1989 kawasaki zx10, see what interest is out there.

Got her all wof'd and rego'd at the end of last summer, to ride her 3 times, havent been on her since and I dont have room to store her properly. She lived in the back of my van for several months.
Rego on hold,
Has a new chain (not even 1000km on it), I didnt replace the sprockets due to lack of money so they will need replacing. The old chain was badly worn.
Passed its last wof with out any problems, but he did mention the sprockets and brake pads would need replacing by the next wof, how ever she was barely used so you might get away with them again.
Fairings are in average-good condition. Hasnt been dropped as far as I know, just a few marks from storing it at various places where people have leaned things on it, has a few missing or different bolts.
Oxford heated gripps
Pack Rack

She is a beautiful bike, I love riding her but sadly I just dont get the time, and I cant justify paying 2 registrations.
It would be a very reluctant sale.
Could assist with transport in the Auckland area for a fee.

Ill upload some photos in the weekend, when I can take some new ones. You can look at the wikipedia page if you are unfamilar with the bike, for more information https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawasaki_Tomcat_ZX-10

Make the time to ride I say. For a lousy $2k there is F-all that would supply the same grin factor.

Certainly nothing I have found supplies the new grin factor, but unfortunately I'm not comfortable picking the kid up from school in it, and the pack rack isn't big enough to carry all my tools. So until I have to stop pouring money into my van, she'll be sitting making me depressed.
Plus the missus has always said, if I sell the one I have, I can get a new one. So that is kind of part of my plan.

none of the above. Guess again.
Also, get a hobby that isnt me.

If it's semi tidy...2k is a very fair price for a ZX10. Fantastic engine in those old girls.
