Get yourself a nice tidy Honda Bros. Masterton Motorcycles have got a wee ripper for $4995.

[aff-man]

Looking at a sporty bike to mach the zxr and then some. I don't think a single front brake and underpowered engine is the way to go. Looking at anything with an r basically zxR cbR vfR etc etc etc...

[marty]

there's some cheap gb400's about.....

[Two Smoker]

There is a couple TIDY VFR400's at colemans and also a GSX-R400, they are all around the 5 k price :niceone: otherwise you can buy my RG "400" :shifty:

[aff-man]

AHHHHHHHH ......................................NO. i know about the vfr ect but was hoping to see what i could get privatley first (without the typical shop mark up)

ah ok, i will keep my eye out for you :niceone: problem is 400's are a bit rare :wacko:

[Ghost Lemur]

Look on TradeMe.

There are about 1/2 doz - 1 dozen sport 400's on there. Most are for between 3 and 4k.

[Gummybear]

You could buy my Kwaka ER5. She's a sleeper. Just an idea, since you asked.

[k14]

Trademe has about 3 or 4 VFR400 NC30's listed at the moment. Very strongly considering selling the CBR and getting one of those when I get my full around the start of next year. Should be able to pick up a decent one for around $4k. Might even be able to get an RVF for $5k or so. Just keep your eyes open.

[aff-man]

i have been scanning trademe for 2 weeks now. Either the bike is ridiculously priced or something is wrong with it. There might be one but will see. Just trying to see if anyone here wants to upgrade and is looking at a 400 or 600 they want to sell??

My sister in Hamilton has a zxr400 which she is thinking about selling.

NZ new one I believe, has the square headlight.
Carbon front guard
green and white (of course)
after market can
It might have ventura brackets, I can't remember.

I think she's looking around $3500 -$4000 or so but would have to confirm with her.

Someone else on the site from AK was going to check it out a while ago but couldn't make time to view it.

If you pm me an email address or something I can forward it to her.

[Drunken Monkey]

You had a look at what Mike has at Mt Eden M/C ?

[riffer]

Okay, here's one to put the cat amongst the pigeons:

I have been approached by my mate Steve again, asking if I can put his mate Terry's bike up for sale on KB.

Here's the details:

1993 GSXR1100
reg and wof on hold
pristine condition
60,000kms
runs like a dream

OFFERS
phone terry on 2336409

Shocking pic I know, but give Terry a call and see what he wants for it. I've been told $5000 will get him interested.

[Cajun]

those things pull like a fucken train i had my one of those to 290km/h and was still pulling hard. only down side, is they are longish and heavy, and take a bit to throw around in the tight twistys, they are great touring or thru open twistys
that thing should be putting out about 140hp rw awsome fun, you should be able to get 300km for a tank(21 litre) long distance

[MrMelon]

I'm in the same situation. Need to find a 600-750 sports bike for about $5k Just something that'll be fun for the twisties, but won't mind long trips every now and then.

Said bikeshop might be where i am getting my ne wheels

Nice but unfortunatley i weigh like 61kg so that would be a little to big a bike for me. ould probably break an arm trying to wip it around the twisties :laugh:

[Motoracer]

ZX-636R? :msn-wink:

[aff-man]

only in my dreams mate. Although if i won like $50000+ i might be very very very very very very tempted. Stood staring at one for like 40 mins yesterday :love:

[Kwaka-Kid]

Sorry Aff-Man, all the VFR400's in NZ are in my workshop :P Or at least if they arnt i plan on them being!
Wicked little bikes though aff-man, no need for replacing camchains with gear driven cams!.. Yeah they are pretty overpriced... You wanna contact Gary @ GPTRADING mate, http://www.gptrading.co.nz/images/bikes/honda/13%20VFR400%20NC30.jpg that is a pic of the mint, stock VFR400 NC30 he has, i was going to buy it off him but ran into another one actually... give him an email and tell 'em i sentcha, he races an nc30/35 and is fully into em too - nice guy.

I only weight 63kgs and i had one for a year did 20,000kms on it in that year

[aff-man]

sorry kerry bit old high km's and not my style thanks though

[kerryg]

sorry kerry bit old high km's and not my style thanks though


That's cool. Now...what's that saying about casting pearls before swine???

:yeah:

[riffer]

So you are saying you don't want a bike that weighs more than 2.5 times what you do...

Jeez, if I used that rule I'd need a full dresser touring Harley :laugh:

[aff-man]

Haahahahahahah no i mean i want something that i can wip around corners etc. Not that good that i can wip a mighty 750 beast :Oops: :doh:

[Coldkiwi]

FYI potential ideas for affman:

He needs a bike that is pretty sharp cause he's a bit of a nutter in the corners.
A switchbladesque gixxer 600 would suit him just nicely I reckon but is a little out of that price range.
Similarly minded bikes should apply tho! :)

[aff-man]

corners corners corners hehehehehehehehe (physcotic laugh). Yip CK has hit the nail on the head.

[Two Smoker]

Fully johno you have 400cc written all over you.......

[Jbee]

Hey aff-man ,any particular yr ,brand you after ?, Thiers a 95 Kawasaki ZRX400 ,39,000 ks for $3200 up Auckland way .

[aff-man]

yip but the r is in the wrong place :killingme :killingme :killingme

[Jbee]

:msn-wink: haha shame about that R ,nice 98 GSX600F in waikato ,bit over your price margin though ,5500 . Whats wrong with the bike in Gissy you were lookin at ??

[aff-man]

The bike apparently had been dropped and hit a curb. Not there is a big chunk out of the top fairing,scratches on the side fairing and get this the engine case had to be welded somewhere. So unless it fell off a 2 storey building something sounds dodgy.

But it looks like i have a new bike lined up anyway so should have it in the next couple of days.

[Kwaka-Kid]

but did you contact gary in tauranga?... honestly mate i wouldnt put that one out of mind! its a real minter and from memory had low k's - either way i love the look and colours, i so nearly bought it last time i was down there.

[aff-man]

Yip contacted him but have decided to not spend so much money now and save up for a better/bigger bike in 6 months.

But don't worry it looks like i will be coming back on saturday with a new bike. Pity it's not a viffer though :argh: but i am sure she'll be right :devil2:

[Jbee]

Shit dodgy aint the word . Sounds like a good plan save money now buy bigger and better later ! and your at least gettin a fill in thats hopefully gonna do the trick ,Good luck with your new beasty aff-man .

[aff-man]

Cheers mate will post pic's if the deal goes through :soon: :apint:

[Pickle]

We still have my wifes ZX6R for sale, 95 model very good condition, willing to negotiate price. Looking for around 5K for it. Has been serviced regularly.

[aff-man]

W#$#&$#&@#$& well now you say so. Sorry guys went and picked up the new machine today it's 4hundy so should do me for a while. :done:
