Honda Spada for sale. It's currently not running and it has rego until 20/04/16 after which it is on hold.
Good news is:
- It hasn't been in a major accident, so nothing is bent or broken aside of the headlight case, which has been a bit dented for a while.
- NEW rear tire (BT45, 50 km old, worth $240)
- Got full workshop history for the last 3 years
- Improved front suspension with emulators
- Heated hand grips
- I got a spare engine for it a few years ago, just in case...
Bad news is:
- The engine crapped itself. Big end bearings are gone, pistons,too, I think, and who knows what else (certainly not me, but I can ask my mechanic or you can come and have a look. It's currently all in parts, anyway.
- The spare engine is not the best, either, so it also needs parts, and it's not going to be a case of just putting those two engines together to get one running engine.
Other things you might want to know:
The paint job is not the best, in particular where the saddle bags were sitting.
I dropped the bike a couple of times and I had a slow speed accident (<5km/hr) where I was clipped by another bike. That fall broke the bracket for the left foot peg and rear brake (was about 1.5 years ago and has been replaced) and dented the headlight case a bit.
I love this bike, it's one of the more powerful 250s and the low seat height, which is lower than the VTR250, the Hornet 250 and even a GN250, is great for someone who is as vertically challenged as me. But I've since upgraded and it is just not practical for me to keep it. I can't even sell it for parts, as I have no clue about what is what.
So if you want a project bike with two engines and a new rear tire, or sell it for parts (the rear tire is already worth more than half of the price), feel free to stop by and have a look at it. The bike is in Taupo.
