warning: two smokers zxr400 race bike will be up for sale shortly

[Two Smoker]

Hey everyone,

I've made the step up to 600 Supersport, and being as I am in my current state, I can't race the bike at the final rounds of AMCC and PMCC...

This bike will be for sale after the 30th of April. The sale will be through auction on trade-me. The starting bid will be $2500...

Why so much you ask??? Here is what it offers...

Newbie Racers/Streetstock Racers:

This bike is an excellent starting platform for Formula 3. It is capable of consistent top 7 finishes at National Level. It is very reliable, with oil and filter changes after every 2-3 race meets. The bike has plenty of potential with which you can learn so much from and become a better racer yourelf...

Veteran Formual 3 Racers:

This bike can offer you something aswell. This bike stock (other than full aftermarket exhaust) has been dynoed at 65rwhp!!! This bike is just asking for a big bore kit, H model cams, Dynojet kit, and a Ohlins rear shock!!! H model cams and a Dynojet kit alone will see a reliable 70rwhp!!! See if you can stick it out with Andy Bolwell, Terry Fitzgerald and Jason Easton!!!

What This Bike Comes With:

Sadly I don't have a huge amount of spares as I used my mechanic's bike (Milky) as spares. I also do not have spare rims. The bike will come with new oil and filter, new chain, brand new Supercorsa front, near new or brand new Supercorsa rear (depending on if the bike is used on the 30th). It will also come with Chain lube, Brake Cleaner, Penertrating spray, two 4L containers of oil, near new set of wet tyres, spare brake lever, spare clutch lever, spare gearshift lever, spare clutch plates, some side fairings and a front and rear set of pit stands...

Bikes Specs:

1998 ZXR400L8 UK spec model
65rwhp

Bikes History:

I bought this bike of John Fallwell as a crashed road bike with 30000kms on the clock. The damage was minimal, so it quickly became a Formula 3 race bike. Craig Brown rebuilt the rear shock and it now has a external reservior where the oil can be changed. I have raced this bike since November 2004. It has done mainly club races and the North Island rounds of the 2004 and 2005 Nationals. This bike has been crashed once by myself, a simple lowside at Turn 3 old Taupo circuit.

Bikes Capabilities In My Hands:

Pukekohe: 1:07.126
Taupo old old circuit: mid to low 43's
Taupo short circuit: low 42's
Manfield: 1:18.9

That about sums it up... Due to my financial situation this bike will not have new fairings. Any questions fire away...

Start saving those pennies, you have a couple of weeks :niceone:

Cheers, Chris

sorry mate... i need some new gear as all mine got cut off from the crash at Pukekohe...

[bugjuice]

as little as I've worked on and helped with this bike (I know Milky does pretty much most with Chris), I can vouch for it and I'd put my name on it (and I know others would).. and like a few others, I'm pissed that I don't have the spare notes, but some lucky bugger is gonna have a hell of a lot of fun on this thing, and learn a thing or five..

[FROSTY]

And the buy now price would be??
Ya might be suprised who could be keen on owning it

[R6_kid]

yeh how much man. I am really keen to own it if i can 'afford' it, but need a figure before i start dreaming too much.

[Two Smoker]

2500 is the start bidding price, there is no reserve, because i know there is a large interest, im leaving it upto you guys to sort out the end price...but if only one person bids, then it could be all theres for $2500, the main reason its so cheap is due to it having crappy fairings, and the new owner will eventually have to get new ones...

[FROSTY]

Chris--I hear wot you're saying but wots your crazy way out there price ?
There may just be someone keen to race in in the winter series.

[Hoon]

Hmmm very tempting...I could put mine back on the road and sell it for more and buy yours instead. Should end up making a profit AND get a bike with another 10hp!!

...very tempting indeed!

[stify]

and a little boy waits........

love to bid but but but, good luck with the sale chris

[Two Smoker]

Im hoping for about 3 grand once the bidding has finished... But the more the better... So way out there price would be 4 grand...

I need the $$$ as my new leathers cost 2 grand :crazy:

[Colapop]

Smith... Sam Smith.

He's on a 2006 Yamaha R6 ATM. He's done time on 125s, did Nats on a 2005 Yamaha R6 and now he's got the latest toy. Definetly one to watch out for in the future, to go all the way.

Chatted with Sam at Pukekohe last AMCC round... Haven't had the pleasure of him kicking my arse yet, but im sure it will come... He is testing and setting up the new R6 at the moment, and the bike is fucking quick... he is liking it alot...

[Colapop]

A) Christ what am I doing up this late?? (Way past an old man's bedtime...)

B) Yeah looking forward to seeing him do some srious damage in the future. Hope he'll have the same courage after he has his first big off. And who knows TS you take those trainer wheels off and you may have a chance!!!:laugh:
(Don't worry lad you're a damn sight better than I ever was or will be!)

[sAsLEX]

[Two Smoker]

Does Quasi not do a one piece set? Otherwise have a look at TonyB's Minotar one piece set http://www.motoequip.co.nz/Minotaur-1-piece.htm (http://www.motoequip.co.nz) , I'm sure he can do you a set at a good price. Think these guys donated stuff to help you out, be nice if you could return the favour perhaps? TonyB is sponsoring 250GP National champ Karel Pavich with a set of leathers for the new season. They are very good quality, probably as good as, off the peg Spidi's.

Already bought a set of leather pants for Chloe of Quasi, and will be buying a jacket for her, and a set of road leathers off him for me... Also might have a business proposal for him...

Im All Ears, design your own if ya want, no charge. give you something to do in your spare time. See ya Sunday will bring some gear down for Chloe, we will be in a motel on Saturday night if your in town, she can try them on there alot easier for her rather that at the track, or just take em all and figure out what works when you get home,I can pick up what isnt needed later
