before anyone jumps to conclusions I am _NOT_ saying don't buy this bike...
i'm just saying be aware of what you are purchasing...
here (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=45629782)

this bike belonged to a former flatmate and until he got taken out on a roundabout and it got written off, the frame was cracked and the forks where twisted (not serious) and the swingarm was damaged not sure to what degree...

and on a side note - it won't pass a warrant unless the current owner has changed them...

I'm an not selling this bike...i just saw it on trademe and the person selling it has dodged all my questions about what he had to repair on it...

How do you know this is the right bike, rego plate? Or do u know the seller?

Whilst on the subject, this (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Motorbikes/Sports-tourer/auction-48845301.htm) is a good buy and so is this (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Motorbikes/Sports-tourer/auction-48864769.htm) on TM at the moment!

dont say a word unless you really know something..
I have been viewd the bike and it is straight now.I also saw that bike repairing at the MT eden Motocycle about 1month b4 i view .The owner is pretty honest,he told me that the bike has been dropped and frame has been straightened.I think the seller will tell every buyer the same thing too.

Yah its a fair enough comment - I'm sure anyone interested would appreciate a heads-up and be a little more cautious and check the bike properly instead of going head-first into buying a turkey without knowing anything.
