For Sale: 1986 VT250F

[riffer]

Hey all.

Got bailed up by a mate on the train going home tonight.

"Simon - d'ya wanna buy a bike - one of my mates has decided to give up riding and get into cars and he wants to flick off his bike fast. The rego and warrant ran out a week or so ago and he doesn't want to pay money if he's flicking it off."

So anyway, I said I'd post it here (with no prejudices). Here's the details:

1986 Honda VT250F.
The reg/wof has just expired.
Mint condition.
18,000 kms (!)

Comes with Helmet and Gloves.

Call Justin on 021-139 055.

He's asking $900 as is, or $1050 warranted.

Tell him you got the info from Simon, who's one of Steve's mates.
I haven't personally seen the bike, so can't tell you any more about it. I just said to Steve I'd post it on here for Justin (who I've never met).

Steve's sent me a pic he took of it. Here it is:

Not THAT's a deal!

[Posh Tourer :P]

I would buy this if I had the cash

what a steal!

[jrandom]

"What a steal", eh? Hmmmm. MUST SELL NOW! Riiiiiight. <_<

But then, who'd be dumb enough to nick a bike and then ask a mate to post a public 'for sale' ad with a photo of it? Right? Anyway, I'm sure the circles that celticno6 moves in are entirely devoid of such shady characters. ;)

Damn that is a deal. I sold my one, which was exactly the same as that, the same paint etc, (apart from a dent in the tank) and I sold mine for $1500, lol. It had done 85000kms or so aswell. That is a serious good deal for a learner, they are awesome bikes.

Is the phone number right?

Doesn't work ......

Nice wee morning here in the Hutt

TBH I thought it was too good to be true. I hassled Steve about it, and he said the guy was on the level.

Ring him and find out, I guess.

Hmmm. Grew up in the Hutt Valley, first rode a motorcycle at the age of 9 (if vespas count), played in hard rock bands since the age of 13, driven V8's and turbos since I could reach the pedals, got a tattoo on my arm that was done at the Highway 61 Lower Hutt HQ, still live in the Hut Valley.

Yeah you got me. Mostly harmless :lol:

[NordieBoy]

Oh.

Maybe I should have asked for more than $600 for my one then?

Damn.

:bye:

[riffer]

After a short bidding war, the bike has now sold for $1200.

Thanks to all. Justin is very happy.

[riffer]

So, I don't know who bought this absolute bargain?

Which one of you was it?

And is it how it was described?

Let's have a report...

[Posh Tourer :P]

A friend of mine was in the bidding and had actually sent money, $1010 unwarranted, but was told he needed the bike as he'd crashed his car, so no sale....
