I'll second that - beautiful bike, religiously maintained, ridden and looked after by an experienced rider.

Associated problems? Nothing will ever feel fast again. You will have difficulty keeping that little card that shows your picture and tells what vehicle class you can drive, and rear tyres will be measured in number of rides.

thanks guys, the one i'm looking at is a K1 with full yoshi 4-2-1 exhaust which sounds awesome, but the best part is he only want's $10500 for it, it's had a custom paint job which i'm a little worried about but it still looks cool in bright blue, the bottom part of the fairing is missing, to make room for the headers i guess, but all the engine covers,rims etc have been polished so with a bit of elbow grease it'll be quite bling, It's being sold on behalf by KTL in kingsland so before i hand over any cash i'll want to have a chat with the owner to find out whats what,

the early ones only brake the subframe when after market system is fitted , as the o/e headers are part of the stress member (from where they bolt to frame under bike an where they bolt to rear pegs) it helps keeping arse up , the newer buses dont have a alloy subframe but steel
i have some body pannels from my old 99 bus if youlooking for some

Sounds like a down the road bike to me if it isn't original paint keep well clear of it !!

10k for a 91 with dodgy paint is a bit much.
If 10k was good value on this machine it would have gone already.
21k will get you a new one 16 a minter under 2yo.
Be ready to spend some money or get it inspected before you make up your mind.
With what a 'bus engine is capable of don't look twice at one that doesn't inspire confidence.

$17995 + orc for new down here at New Plymouth Motorcycles

If it's the bike I'm thinking of, I've seen it on TM for the last six odd months. If it was me, I'd get the other $7,500'ish financed and buy a brand new one!!!

Howzzit all,
Happy New Year & all that crap !!! The bike in question belongs to my flatmate...

Yes, it's a Malaysian market (full horsepower) import..

And sadly, yes; it's been for a skid down the road (previous owner), however I also know the previous owner very well & know for a fact that the bike went down to Smythe & Yeates to have the chassis alignmnet checked, which was pronounced to be A.O.K

The rear subframe was toast & has been replaced with the later model steel one...

The rear tail piece has also been replaced

The front fairing was basically undamaged apart from gravel rash... The whole idea during its hiatous was to build something that stood out from the sea of "Boring Buses" that are floating around - hence the idea to cut the fairing down and polish the cases & give it some new clothes (paint)...

The colour is Shockwave Blue & comes from an 05 XR-6 Falcon...

I will personally vouch for any of the work my mate has done on the bike during the re-build & having ridden "The Blue Whale" several times can honestly say that the old girl rides as good as any out there...

My only suggestion would be to fit a new rear tyre as the HPX thats on there is passed it's use by date

Do yourself a favour & take it out for a run if you come back without a smile on your face, you probably don't deserve to be riding bikes !!! :Punk:

If you want any further info on it, please feel free to ring/txt me on 027 242-7639

Reason for sale is to put some more money into his business & thats it, that & the fact that he's also got my old warmed over GS 1200 SS in the shed too !!!

Cheers - have a good one :rockon:

[Damon]

Thanks for all your help guys, at this stage i think i'll let it go and save a bit more money for a standard one, i'm just worried that it's taken two years to sell so far, how long is it going to take me to sell it after i put another 20-30000kms on it

You can buy good 'busa's for $12-$15k anyday if you look - just be aware that they chew thru tyres real quick but the motor is bullet proof !
