This is a very nice bike. It is actually my friends'. He has gone to Europe and wants me to sell it. Everything on the bike is in good mechanical condition. As far as I know there is nothing wrong with it. The body is in pretty good condition as well. It has an awesome looking 1 seater tail section. It has 41K on the clock. I just got it a brand new WOF/Rego. If I already didn't own one just like it, I would have definetly bought it of my friend.

Asking price: 3200 ono

I hate it when persons give away bikes like this! if thats your price the my bike is worth less than a used condom.

SP stands for Sports Production

in the ZXR400's case it means (i beleive) flatslide carbs and a closer ratio gearbox..

We are still in the process of getting a double garage built. So all of my motorbike stuff are in a big mess. once I sort out the mess, I should be able to find you that little aluminium or may be stainless steel plate that attaches to the race tail fairing. Its nothing too fancy so don't expect too much. I will give it to you when I find it anyway. How is your ZXR comming along. Did you make use of the front fairing I gave you?

Hey SPman, none of those things have an S or a P in them?
:D

Is that what makes them more valuable than a second hand condom? :Oops:

The bike is now on for sale again. I have recently given it another through service. I have got it a:

- Set of new wheel bearings (front and back).
- Set of Metzler tires (front and back) which are still near new.
- Oil change.
- Oil filter change.
- New UNI airfilter.
- Set of NGK spark plugs.
- Carbs serviced and cleaned.
- New clear fairing blade.

I am giving it away for a special Kiwi Biker only price of 2500 (plus registration costs, it expired 2 weeks ago and WOF is till December)

For thoes who are interested, demo is available in the weekends


Plus my reason for selling is that the sooner I sell it the sooner I can get on with my plans for racing my other ZXR which is on hold right now cause I have jack shi*t in my bank account.

I am in the&nbsp;same Bloody boat, If it was for sale in 3 months time i would have bought it already bloody %^#$^@^@#%$#@%@%&nbsp;@&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;licencing . Sigh so frustrating when a deal like this comes along and you can't pounce on it &nbsp;&nbsp;:( :(

Mate.... I have been riding on my restricted for 3 years cause I haven't been bothered with a full but should go for it as soon as I get some money (funny how I can never stop saying that). Anyways I have been pulled over about 5-6 times on the 4 hundy. And they have never given me any sh*t about the restricted licence. Most cops hardly know the rule. Sure if you are on a learners, its obvious enough but if you got a restricted you should be sweet.:niceone:

I am aiming to sell this bike by the end of next week, so what do you say guys?:)

I'll buy your 250 and you buy the 400 ;) ... becides, you stole it from me anyway! :p

I'm sure I can hit $2500 at the vehicle auctions in town.
........ I'm serious btw. If not maybe I'll try my luck with the 400cc.

Wonder how the hell I'd get it to Whangarei.

Sorry guys not the cops i'm worried about it's the insurance agencies that are the cracker. Bike cc out of the limitations of your licence = loop-hole for an up and comming insurance bastard.

The exact same reason I'd never get a lager cc bike before I'm allowed. Whats the use of paying out all that insurance if you can't claim on it? And to not have insurance, well thats just stupid. In the UK they make it illegal if you don't have insurance.

I still think it should be a choice. If I haven't got a bike worth about 5 G or more, its not worth insuring in my books, specially because of the rates they offer people my age. Another thing is that every time you have to make a claim, your premium shoots up. I know a mate my age who was Paying 4.5 G a year for his insurance.

I reckon its more exciting to know when your riding on the edge that if you loose it, you loose it all and if you bring it in to your garage safely every time for a few years, you can prolly save more than what the bike is worth in insurance money.

The problem is when you lose it into a $200K Mercedes then&nbsp;it is horribly more than just "losing it all".

I had a friend with that attitude, he lost out and was up for $70K in damages, had to declare himself bankrupt at 20yo and now he can't even have an EFTPOS card.

aff-man
17th October 2003, 10:41
that's why my dad says he will pay for my insurance while i'm at tech (cool aye) but if i am not allowed on the road without insurance. He is not worried about my bike or if i total it and not be able to ride for a while he is worried about the chance of hitting a merc or beamer or worse.:gob:

Yea well 3rd party is a must then...

Kwaka-Kid
17th October 2003, 15:07
exactly motoracer! i honestly feel we should be like aussie and have it built into the rego of the vechile...how simple, then when an accident happens, the state instantly helps innocent party, no sweat, and hassles other party for rest of their lives.. god with the amount we pay it should already be built in! i currently ride with no insurence at all.. just have not gotten around to it, its not the money issue at all. i dont think id ever insure any of my vechiles fully unless they were worth morethen 20 odd K... just do bodgey repairs... no sweat.

SPman

:Offtopic: but, if you ride without at least third party, you're a f**kin idiot and shouldnt be on the road - applicable to all vehicles!:done:

17th October 2003, 19:39
hehehe! either that or ur f-ing rich!

.. oh.. damn, guess i know which one i fall under now... i just have never gotten around to 3rd party fire+theift insurence yet.. soon, was gunna read the insurence poll... when i get time to ring etc

It sounds like someone is gonna need to sell his new raec bike when he accidentaly ding's a bentley:Oops: :done:

Kwaka-Kid
17th October 2003, 22:52
hah, reckon! :P nah,&nbsp;i will get insurence etc etc etc.. just time man.. and anyways, retail my racebike prolly owes me around $8K...but hey.. coz of all the bodge jobs/stock parts sold etc ive managed to make it much cheaper, and with that is a bonus new bodged bike look, devaluing the bike to what? $2K? practically nothing, if that... my racebike is never going to be worth selling, so im going to run it into the ground, and just do things as cheaply as possible, i still swear if/when i blow that motor, i wont buy another, ill keep using ones i got lieing around, and first one in mind is the methanol burning XR500 :stoogie:&nbsp; hell yeah, thats almost worth blowing my engine on purpose.. mmm thumper.

If you are talking Bentley then selling the house would be more appropriate, unless you got a few hundred Gs sitting around in your bank account!

Argh if only I wasn't still on my restricted :/

I'm thinking about moving slightly out of town, so it'd be nice to have something like this that would be a bit nicer on gas for commuting and stuff.

$2000? :gob:

You sold that bike for $2000?? :gob: :gob:

Why didn't you auction it on Trademe with a $2000 reserve. Surely the auction approach would have bumped the price up more!

$2000! :disapint:
Thats criminal!

Yes I sold it for 2Gs, It needed the odd things done on it but still in my opinion I sold it for next to nothing considering how much I actually spent on it and specially when I have seen some pieces of shit getting sold for much more. I felt really sad when I handed it over but its a good thing. Its time for a change. Time to forget about road riding and get serious about racing. I will be there at Pukekohe on the mid December track time. See you there people. :)

Here is a pic of my project by the way. Its the white one.
