Suzuki TS50-XKR for sale! - spousal emergency!

[jdmwellington]

Hi All,
Firstly I am quite sad to have to part with this bike... The reason is spousal emergency. Basically I took out a loan a couple of weeks ago to buy this bike, and ALL THE GEARS, without speaking to my partner first.

Now my marraige is at stake, and i've been told to sell it or else...
:sick:

I bought this 2 weeks ago from a trader on www.kiwibiker.co.nz - My motorcycle friends tell me the bike is in really good condition, and has also been serviced every 6 months.

If you have any techy questions, i'll need to ask the original seller and get back to you, as i'm not a motorbike pro.

Happy for you to come and view/try the bike. The only issue with it is a small dent on the front of the bike where someone had backed into it - very minor and does not affect bike at all.

Please feel free to ask any questions :)

Great bike to learn on, or for commuting round town. Off road style, so could be a bit of fun also.

Top bike in excellent condition and fully Road legal. CAN BE RIDDEN ON A CAR LICENCE. Does not require WOF.
Current rego till August :)

Has done 5296KM, only issue is a small dent on the front - caused by someone backing into it, does not affect bike at all.

[jdmwellington]

oh yes - asking price is $1100 which is the price I paid for it two weeks ago

[Str8 Jacket]

Ah bummer man, thats a really cool lil bike!
Are you sure she's really that serious? You havent even ridden it yet! AND what about the gear and stuff! Could me and Glenn maybe convince her that its not a bad idea?
Good luck with whatever you decide, but I really think you should try and keep it!

[jdmwellington]

Yup.. she's serious :( I've asked quasimoto if i can return the gear (never been worn) but will be fair enough if they say no, so I guess i'll sell it on trademe... sigh

[Str8 Jacket]

Please forgive me for saying this but I think that that is so mean! Feel for you dude but if you really really want to keep it do you think she'd back down at all? After all its your money and your life!

[SimJen]

Jeez mate, she's a hard woman :(
I did something similar....I had a GSX-R600 for about 6 months and traded it on a GSX-R1000. I didn't tell her until after I had signed for it......she wasn't happy for a few days :) still, she got over it.

i say buy yourself some time, say your tying to sell it, when you have some time..learn to ride on it, and after some time of "not being able to sell it" go for a little slow ride around the house, maybe take on of your kids on the back if you have one (or two) and then eventually take her.
depends if its a money thing though,you could use the no warrant, 70 buck rego, cheap gas reasoning.

[C_A]

gutting, man...
i'll buy it back off ya. depreciation over te last week or so is huge though given the weather, i'll do you a favour and give you $100 :P

as previous owner of this bike I can vouch for how mint it is. never ever let me down except for the time I ran it out of petrol and had to push it 2km to the nearest servo. any questions feel free to pm me on them if jeremy's not too sure.

you married to this chick? if not, damn, i'd be inclined to let her slide, this has gotta be an investment more than anyhting else. point out to her that there;'s one on trademe at $2k starting, and that you got yours for a steal, heh
just hang on to it etc, I tend to look at my vehicles (down to 5 now) as being the high maintenance spouse that I can just park in the shed if things get 'too rough' lol. especially with owning a french car, and a japper over 30 years old...

good luck, don't back down..... seriously.

true story..

this bike = THE cheapest transport around, public transport included. $10-$12 fills on 96, 350-400k per tank before reserve, $70 a year rego. damn. even running a car as well, you'll still save enough money in fuel to offset the initial cost in just a few months.

[u4ea]

Please forgive me for saying this but I think that that is so mean! Feel for you dude but if you really really want to keep it do you think she'd back down at all? After all its your money and your life!


had an x who told me i couldnt spend my own money on a bike..............guess thats why hes an x................

Free marriage counselling. If the spouse has overreacted that much, your marriage is in trouble without having bought the bike in the first place.

He's not married YET! JDM, if its like this now imagine what it'll be like WHEN your married!!! I say stand your ground and if things are meant to be then they will be. But at the end of the day its your decision so make it wisely!

[James Deuce]

He's not married YET!

Dear God. Run away before you lose your balls as well as your bike.

[Sniper]

I second what Jim says mate. Dont be pushed around by a girl who is not ready to compromise with you.
Besides, it was your desision, not hers...

[imdying]

Was it the spending with consultation, or the fact that it's a bike, that was the problem?

[The_Dover]

Take your testicals out of her purse and send her on her way.

NEXT!

It was the spending without consulation apparently :bye:

[C_A]

meh, pay it back asap, problem = not apparent.
i'm sure you can regulate your 'recreational spending' until it's paid off.
show me a woman that's never ticked up, or paid out her arse for something before consulting her other half!!!

[madboy]

It was the spending without consulation apparently :bye:I can understand that argument, particularly if you're in a relationship so "serious" that marriage is on the cards. It is supposed to be about partnership, open communication and all that. In saying that, is $2k (bike + gear = $2k I guess??) considered a big spend in your family? I can understand her wrath if it eats into the wedding/food/shelter budget, but if it's just eating into the pizza/chips/DVD budget then who friggin cares?! Surely the relationship has enough independence left in it that you (and her) can make minor discretionary spending decisions without consultation?

If you spent the food money, you are bad. If you only spent the toy money, then spend some more on nzdating.com.

[jdmwellington]

hahah madboy thats classic. yeah supposed to be heading off to UK at the end of next year and getting married and all that. We don't have joint bank accounts, and I spend lots on records and music related stuff, but I think this was an issue as it was sizeable and kind of in the opposite direction of saving for something... oh well..

[imdying]

I would be inclined to think carefully about marrying somebody who presented you with an ultimatum, without at least discussing some other compromise.

[Wasp]

How tall and heavy are you? Im keen on getting some gear and seriously considering Quasi's stuff.

[Cibby]

I would be inclined to think carefully about marrying somebody who presented you with an ultimatum, without at least discussing some other compromise.

yes i agree. I assume you are paying for this with your own money so why does she have the final say???

Surely a comprimise? or a "think about it" period woudl be in order!!!!

You are an individual whether you are in or out of a relationship and whilst perhaps you should have consulted her out of honest/respect, why does she control you?

[madboy]

I would be inclined to think carefully about marrying somebody who presented you with an ultimatum, without at least discussing some other compromise.Had an ex like that. No motorbike. You ever buy a motorbike and we're history. No way in hell will you ever get a motorbike while you're with me.

After we split it became, no way will I get back together with you while you've got that damn thing.

And then it became, don't friggin expect me to get on the back of that damn thing.

(I should point out it was a perky blonde not a bike that caused the split).

[Sniper]

Give her the flick. There are plenty of other women out ther who would be more understanding.


Fecking femanistic women....... (pt)

[Str8 Jacket]

How tall and heavy are you? Im keen on getting some gear and seriously considering Quasi's stuff.

Actually Doug, he'd be almost identical in size to you... But for now lets encourage him to keep it!

JDM- the other thing is that you could sell that bike for practically what you bought it for and you'll be able to sell the gear too... Why not keep it till a few months before you go away and then sell it all that way you wont lose as much if anything.... just an idea. Whatever you do stand your ground, if she really cares for you she'll want you to be happy. Partners are not possessions!

[crashe]

Work out a budget of what it costs you per week to get to work in a car.

Then show her how much it will cost you to get to work on the bike...


Tell her the saving's outweigh the other.

Ok maybe you should have mentioned the bike in advance... then she had time to mull it over in her head.

Ok make a deal with her since you buy heaps of Record's/CD's etc every week. So, No more buying music stuff, until the amount you spent on the bike is cleared off.

You BOTH must learn to compromise at this stage of the game....
or she will walk all over you for the rest of your life together...

Ask her to give you both time to really think about selling the bike... Like two weeks.

All the best for you both.

[Wasp]

Identical size, awesome. but yes i agree - i'd rather see you keep the leathers jdm, but if you decide not to then you know where to find me.

[Quasievil]

Hey dude, bugger about all that shite, mmmmmmmm what can we do??? I like the comments from the other guys as above, mate you need to look out for yourself in this regards, I been where you are now and I didnt listen to my mates (similiar issue actually) and man did I pay for it. Tell her Im keeping the bike for 12 months then I will consider what I want to do.
Tell her you dont come with ownership papers. YOu are a free spirit dude, why volunteer to change that????

[Drum]

Man sees bike, wants it, buys it - no hidden agenda.

Partner finds out that man has spent money on bike rather than saving for trip. Interpretation: Man doesnt want to travel with me. Doesnt want to marry me. Probably having an affair. Bastard!

[jdmwellington]

thanks for the help guys - someone is going to buy it from me for the price I paid so I don't loose out. Unless there is some kind of miracle/act from god, i'm destined not to be a biker.

[James Deuce]

Whapah! (Said in the best Chandler interpretation)

[bert_is_evil]

So now you've found a buyer will she let you buy one after you've discussed it with her? say next month?

[Str8 Jacket]

He had told her he was buying it (with his own $$) long before he did....

[imdying]

Whapisssh! :lol:

[bert_is_evil]

Well, the battle is lost.....BUT NOT THE WAR!!!
jdm can borrow my bike to learn on - once his partner sees how cool he looks on a bike I think she'll change her mind.
What do you reckon jdm?

[Bloody Mad Woman (BMW)]

I wouldn't let any man say to me "sell ya bike babe or I hit the highway" he can hit the bloody highway and I'd be after him on the bike and run im over.

Ultimatums DO NOT WORK.

No person has the right to dictate to another.

Hell I got rid of a husband and bought a bike - best deal I ever did.

My bike has been my freedom. No-one curtails that. What other freedoms will your partner take off you. It just won't stop at this one. It's called controlling manipulative behaviour - and only gets worse.

Your money, your life if you don't put your foot down now - kiss ya life goodbye.

Life's too short for this shit.
Think with the head on your shoulders, not the one between your legs
if that is too offensive - apologies

Hersw an eye opener for you mate.

This is instance 1 right? How many more times will she do this to you? Will you ever get to do anything that pleases you again or will you be one of those pussy footed men who is scared of his wife. No wonder NZ is a timid country proud to lay claim to so much yet stand by so little.

To live and not chance it is to not live at all

[Nik007]

I know how you feel Jerry. My wife got angry with me once when I bought an expensive pair of binoculars. I cut her head off and put it in the freezer. I like those binoculars a lot. They have really good lenses.

man moves into my house.pays half the bills.fuks off on his bike when feels like it.tells me who i can visit.i get payout....tells me i cant buy bike,...........i tell him THERES THE DOOR..............good luck,

[sugilite]

I've lost a fair few riding buddies to these predators.
The scenarios were a bit different, yet similar, buddy meets new woman, new woman "loves" bikes, 3 weeks later when idiot are well and truly fuck struck, tune changes too, brrr bikes are cold/uncomfortable, what eva, why don't you buy a car now....ex riding buddy sells bike puts a new penis extension on huge HP, new woman gets bored with pussy whipping idiot who now appears boring once out of his biker leathers and moves on to next prey.
Meanwhile ex riding buddy stuck with car, a whopping hp and no bike. I started to lose sympathy fast!:kick:

I layed out the rules to my ex wife right at the start, "Please Don't ask me to choose between you and bikes, you may not like the answer"
20 years later and she was spewing when I too recently made a "unauthorized" buy of my 1st road bike in many years with my own hard earned money.
She stopped hassling me about it when I genuinely happily beamingly would reply, "yes, and it is the best thing I've done for years and I soooooo don't regret my decision"

Just the fact that you like motorcycles would suggest you are the type of person that lives for and values freedom., So with this in mind, I offer the following...People, esp wives or husbands that deal in ultimatums never like to see their partners content or happy....EVER (though they will say otherwise)

I promise you, marry this woman and You will be dominated and manipulated all your married life, if thats what you really want, then proceed with the marriage.
Otherwise, in the near horizon waits a fair maiden that will share your passion for freedom and respect you as an equal individual and yes, even share your passion of motorcycling. Do your self a favour and go find her....Pronto!:first:

[chanceyy]

feel for you mate

one thing to consider before doing the marriage thing. Ask yourself the following question:

what do you want/need to be happy?

will your partner provide these things for you? do you have open communication with trust and honesty at the core of that relationship ? Can you live with her faults for next 40-50 yrs ??

if you can not answer the above questions or have doubts then hold off the wedding until you are sure on the direction you want to take .. either with her or without ..

Marriage definately does not make happiness, or a relationship easier ..& communication, comprimise should be on both sides not all one sided, or else resentment will take over the relationship and then there will be nothing left.

I can understand her resentment if your heading down the path of committment and you have made a decision & purchase without talking about it FIRST... esp when you are both saving to head overseas etc ..... but then did you make the purchase knowing she would be against it ? & hoping it would blow over and you would have your way ? With both of your attitudes, hers issuing ultimatums, & yours doing what you want without being upfront to a significant other, no its not a match made in heaven .. get out now ..!!!!

You never know the bike issue could be the straw that broke the camels back.

[Finn]

Every now and then an opportunity presents itself so you can demostrate male superiority. Not only will you not sell the bike, but you will buy a bigger bike of your choice.

Like most laws that are past, they appear resonable at first but then reality sinks in. I am of course referring to the law that allowed Women to vote.

[Bakes]

Dude!

I was thinking about getting Married this year, but @ the time I was bike less so before i made any commitment i went and bought a bike and just finished getting all the gears. Now I can start saving for a ring and a wedding. Cause i know as soon as that ring goes on the finger theres another party involed.

My wise words are to those that hav'nt popped the question

***BUY YOUR TOYS FIRST"""

[Sniper]

Dont get any of this confused with me selling my bike to buy a ring. I did it out of the love I have for my partner and she was upset, but I know that Im getting a new bike on the wedding day :devil2:

Can I ask why you did? ie: because you didn't think it would be a problem at all, or because you thought it would be a drama and really wanted the bike so you did it anyway......

Neither should be a potential relationship breaker, rather it should provide an excuse to review future process in regard to "major" purchases. I don't understand the whole, 'My partner won't let me" thing. Sounds like a way out of something you didn't want to really do anyway.

I agree Jim2, these sorts of things should be discussed and understood and if you perhaps don't quite agree then a compromise must be reached - else everybody is wasting time.

Sorry mate you DO lose out big time. You lose your side in what should be a partnership for life. Instead of being equal with your future partner you have just become her possession to do with as she pleases.

What happens next time you want to do something that she doesn't agree with? Once you submit rather agree the relationship is doomed. She will become bored with you and cast you off like an old sock.


When I met my first wife I had been already been riding bikes for 5 years. Shortly after we were married (about 8 hours after in fact) she said to me "Of course now that we're married you'll sell all your bikes won't you."

Like a fool, I did. 3 months later I saw a nice bike for sale at a good price, and mentioned to her that I was going into town to buy it. She said that If I came home with a new bike, then she would leave me. Well I kept my side of the bargain and imediately went and bought the bike. She didn't keep her side of the deal and she stayed with me for 17 years and numerous more bikes.

[The_Dover]

Why the fuck do these women have a problem with bikes?

Hey bitch, you buy another pair of shoes and your bags will be on the porch when you come home. Sound fair?

[SlowHand]

Am I a cynic to think that this is a good way to sell stuff?
Its 1100bux, i mean c'mon! u dont bust a man's chops for that.

[carver]

Why the fuck do these women have a problem with bikes?

Hey bitch, you buy another pair of shoes and your bags will be on the porch when you come home. Sound fair?cause they see them as competition for your time and money and saftey.
i know a guy called dan from hamilton, he did just that, sold his GN to get a car to haul his missus around in (12hp not enough):innocent:
anyway, now he does what he is told, he is the person she wants him to be, no more hanging out with me, im bad (?)
went round to his place, he was there with his girl, i brought along some of his fav beers, hoping to catch up....but no,he strolls out, he says, im going to go now, as soon as he arrives, goes off to his caravan with her (she gave him the look when she saw me there) and shuts the door.
its 8pm, my bike broke down on the way, i ride for 20 mins to get what? a locked door from someone who could once ride, talk and hang out with me?
i almost chucked one of the beers through the caravan window, i had one, and thought about it, once finished the empty was placed on his car, i proceeded to saddle up for the cold dark ride home.
i must say, it hurt.

damn thats just plain bullshit, no one has the right to stop someone from seeing/being with their buddies ..

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr that just pisses me off, loving someone is not about being under their control, or threatening them, or issuing ultimatiums. It should be about sharing, giving & taking, compromise, & definately communication & trust. Those individuals of the former are not in a relationship they are in a prison

Any female or male who lets themselves be controlled to that extent needs a damn good wake up call.. get a life & get out ...

carver .. it may take a few yrs .. but can almost guarantee your buddy will be back once it falls over .. everyone has their breaking point, & we know its generally freinds who are there to pick up the peices more than families

[Goblin]

Why the fuck do these women have a problem with bikes?
I dont think it's so much the bikes, it's about power & control. Some men do it too. Anyone who thinks they can change someone else needs to take a good hard look at themselves. Those that let others dominate & control them need to wake up & see what's going on and do something about it!

I've lost quite a few riding buddies to these predatory women too:bye:High maitainence, money grabbing, selfish, stuck-up tarts too. A couple have seen the light & ditched the bitch then got back into riding again.

Stay true to yourself & if anyone gives you an ultimatum, kick em to the curb!

[Madness]

My missus paid for OUR bike when she got her divorce settlement. I think it was just as monumental a moment for each of us, though for very different reasons.

Cool little bike you got there dude. Mini-Motard!!

'tis a cool bike. shoulda used this method when i originally sold it, woulda been a great amrketing ploy hah

Free marriage counselling. If the spouse has overreacted that much, your marriage is in trouble without having bought the bike in the first place.


First its the bike, next its what??? I'd be seriously thinking about the relationship bro as it does not sound like your on equal footing, although Id expect her to be a tad pissy. There are good wimmin out there. I had no bike when I got together with my Mrs, last count there are 7 bikes in the garage now...:rockon:

[WINJA]

ditch the wife moron , been there done that and i found a better wife, that looks like a good bike and you should enjoy it

[Street Gerbil]

She said
If I go riding one more time,
she's gonn'a
leave me.
...I'm gonn'a miss her.

[jdmwellington]

bike and gear has now been sold btw ... (sorry just got a few PMs)

[The_Dover]

You ditched the bitch yet?
