^^ This one pops up every few weeks. I'd be all over it personally, if I were in NZ! Right livery, Muzzy exhaust.. Perfect...
For almost twice the price, there's also this one..

Yeah, I've come to quite like them now.. Same with SRAD Gixxers, anything racing in WSBK in the late 90's and early 2000's has a special place in my heart haha!

Not an RR but came across it in a garage in Rarotonga under a very dusty cover. If you've never been there the island only has one main ring road 32klm long and a 50kmh speed limit... I couldn't think of a more frustrating place to own a sport bike.

Yeah, but it's a bloody fantastic ride around that road on a 125 cc scoot, at 50km's everywhere, including in and out of some of those bloody big pot holes.
Sá Quakca, got to be crackers to own one let alone love em, lol.

He also owns the record up Avana pass with six river crossings well over the foot boards of a AN125 in the pissing rain.

I was curious about the puddle under the better looking of those two bikes. the response: What is the puddle of fluid underneath the motorcycle?
A. Water off the lowest point on the fairing from when I washed it.
So, uh, yeah.

speaking of Hoover pipe ZX's: this is pretty good buying I would have thought:

That's a fucking long way from "immaculately prepared".
Rear set hangers made from bits of plate, $12 levers, still has its headlights and standard fairings.
It's not worth $11k

i brought an original 1969 H1 500 kwaka that had come from the cook islands once, i also had a mate that had a AMC single that he restored, there rear brake pedal looked like new, it wasn't, he got it from the mud people in south africa and reckons it had never been ridden with footwear.

There is a Porsche 911 turbo on Norfolk island. That forced a chuckle, esp after looking at the series of potholes there joined by scrap roading.

contra: spare wheels with discs and warmers, paddock stands and it looks tidy in the bodywork and so forth. You'd want a compression test and to look under that tank and fairings...

I love the look and sound of Harleys too - but I have ridden the pigs and it is highly unlikely I will ever own one.

Ha ha, thank you Pritch! Haven't really left just busy running my business & playing with crazy cars, with the odd bike here n there on the side. Attached is my latest weapon......582hp with700nm torque from its 6.2L N/A AMG V8 & sporting a rather unique Skepple designed vinyl wrap. Heaps more photo's & burnout vids on my Instagram & FB account (Mag & Turbo New Lynn).

Thanks mate. Was a lot of fun designing it & even more fun driving it! I had my head technician put a straight through exhaust off its DPE long tube headers, apocalyptic levels of noise!
Attached is my last one.....a WW2 Stuka Bomber! This one didn't have the long tube headers but was tuned so only 520hp.
