Yes it is a wreck (glad you can read), no its not the one from the bike show. I just rang up and checked - less K's and less damage.

[Ralph]

A lot of it is still ok by the sounds, I guess if you had a go cart looking for that extra go :woohoo:
It might even be worth repairing as long the price doesn't go up to much more.

[idleidolidyll]

Nice post count :yes:

shit yeah, thanks for bringing it to my attention: used to run a race bike under that number too

oh shit! now I've ruined it!

Yip, I bid on it. I've always wanted a wrecked bike in the garage so I can be tough like you guys.

that's a goddam bargain for whoever wins it

the swingarm could probably be straightened and re-heat treated for a coupla grand

the subframe is hardly a concern, just pull it straight and tack up any cracks.
the rest seems cosmetic.

good luck finn

Yeah i was a little down on the Ks there Boy Wonder, but it woke you up so welcome to the day.....:blip:

[onearmedbandit]

Hmmm, I think I know one of the bidders.

So if the indicators work are you going to buy it?

[crazybigal]

i take it you havnt tried to re-cert a bike since the last lot of rule changes!
Swing arm will need to be replaced, you should see the spec you have to have for LTSA! some dick who knows nothing about bikes and engineering wrote the rules. frames have to be like 1mm tolerance , fuck ive of heard of frames coming out of the factory 5-10mm out of spec!, same with forks .1 of a mm, fuck thats a new one.
It will be a bargain at a 2 grand but some muppet will pay 6 for it.

looks like the new trend, insurance selling their damaged bikes on trademe rather than sending them to those ripoffs, turners auctions!!

no, i'm just going by what i've seen and done to bikes.

as far as using it on the road goes, that might well be another story

damn good looking track bike for $3-4k though!

[onearmedbandit]

Yup, that it is. Instead of sending trades to Turners etc, we put a lot of them on trademe and watch the bidding frenzy! Good feeling watching the dollars go up on a car you would've got fuck all for from Turners.

[Finn]

So if the indicators work are you going to buy it?

Yes although the flat battery is a real concern.

[idleidolidyll]

and hopefully that keeps insurance rates down too...............

[onearmedbandit]

Yeah, unless he's got a decent excuse for it I'd be backing out mate. I smell a fish.

Found a new one in the US for $900NZ.

Boys and Girls!

This was my bike, i binned it on the hway 22 near pukekawa on gravel!

I was hoping to buy it back myself for a spare motor, but Star wanted to auction it and you bastards keep bidding on it!

Any questions about the bike i'd be happy to answer them.

...and yes it was only 2 weeks old and had only done about 1300k's.

And by the way, Star insurance are fucken legends!

This was the second bike i wrote off in 3 weeks (my first being the one that was on display at the Star Insurance stand at the manukau bike show).

Not only did they give me another new bike but they covered me again.

Their service is truly outstanding!

[crazybigal]

hell yeah, make a good track toy!


no, i'm just going by what i've seen and done to bikes.

[crazybigal]

2 in 2 weeks! dont tell me you have another one!! could this be 3 in 5 weeks???

i think turners take upto 50% of the sale price on damaged cars? i know its alot anyway and they get money from the buyer!


Yup, that it is. Instead of sending trades to Turners etc, we put a lot of them on trademe and watch the bidding frenzy! Good feeling watching the dollars go up on a car you would've got fuck all for from Turners.

[crazybigal]

man im so resisting from asking a bunch on dumb questions on the auction.
i better log out of trademe b4 i do..... oooohhhhhh its killing me

[eviltwin]

2 in 2 weeks! dont tell me you have another one!! could this be 3 in 5 weeks???
don't jinx me bro, i'm off to taupo in the morning for a track day.

[R6_kid]

so who else was bidding on it this afternoon?

[ynot slow]

saw before it was up to $9999.00 hope they pay obviously boys playing

[R6_kid]

i was quite serious up til $8.5k, after that i was getting pissed off and a bit worried about my mental dexterity. I wanted a bike for $12-13k max and at anything more than $9999 that bike wouldn't be one, well not in the condition i'd want it in. Hence why my last bit was $9850 or whatever... was gonna bid again but my net was too slow and i bid just as it closed, meh... there will be others.
