Can you give me a run down of its mechanical history that you are aware of? For what it is at that price, sounds like there are a few stories behind it and overall its due to fuck out sometime soon in a big way.

I dont have time for tosser's mate, The bike runs sweet, the frame/forks etc are strait as far as I can tell, just had new oil, irridium plugs, dont start her up for 2 months and it fires up sweet as a sweet thing.Last owner only raced her a few times, previous to that it was a road bike only. I did a track day on it and the engine never missed a beat. If your looking for a $10,000 bike go look elsewhere. The bike owes me a grand. If your looking for a fun bike to go play on and not have to stress over then give me a call and your welcome to see for yourself, but save the attitude for another thread!

Not being a tosser or attitude, just being straight up expecting a straight up answer.

I'm currently looking for a 400 to race in Clubmans.

I'll be down in Wellington on the weekend so if it hasn't sold by then I'll shoot you a PM and hopefully arrange to come and check it out.

Actually, for a $1000 you are buying a couple of wheels with brakes and decent tyres and a battery. The rest is free really. Thats awfully tempting..

Nah you've taken it the wrong way.

That is my point - seems a bit too good to be true - hence why I made the comment about it must be due to fuck out in a big way.

I live in Auckland, you don't trust any bastard these days around here.

swanny... get in contact mate. Im looking for a 400 to split with someone. I wanna do F3 so if you just want track time then clubman will be mint and we can save costs as far as running the bike and getting to races is concerned.

haha, what makes it worse is that i have seen this bike in the flesh, and know its not that bad.

But yeh, i was meaning in general - not for this bike in particular, so dont be getting your knickers in a twist mate.
