$3500 for tonight, come on folks, buy her, i have found another bike i must have!!!!


as is, thats a fair price i think, have put a grand in her over the last month to get her into top condition for sale, am only interested in trades for big twins

1988 Oil Cooled Short-stroke GSXR750, suzuki's revolutionary bike with a bulletproof motor, TQ cars are still racing round with these in them, they last a lifetime.

I bought her with 62k on her 6 months ago (70k now), the previous owner was a summer only rider with a work-injury, for my purchase he replaced the front tyre which is now nearing the end of its life but is still warrantable, rear was replaced 2k ago so plenty of meat. HAVE GOT A HALF WORN AVON to go with her

I did a blissful 3 week tour of the south island after buying and have done only a few shorter trips since, i found it comfortable to ride (not what i expected), only getting sore knees after 400k stretches

Beautiful bike to ride, but i've decided that maybe we're just not meant to be so here she is,


70k on the clock and looked after and serviced like only a horny man wishes...

In the last thousand k's i have done a complete service:
oil + filter (Motul, previous owner used Mobil 1 from memory)
new plugs
new Pads (all replaced)
new Fuel lines
new accelerator and clutch cables
new x-ring chain and sprockets (within the last 100)
and a good lubing and torquing of all the cables and bolts i could find
Carbs were serviced when i bought her.

Cosmetically she looks like she has been ridden, but not crashed, so little knicks, small scrapes and a wee bit rough down the bottom where she fell over in the shed

Reg'd till march 08 warrant expired 2 days ago

Bike is now on trademe http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=102210300

I totally agree with you Squiggles, the bike is very cheap and the engines in these bikes last for ever if serviced well. I would love to buy this bike but cant afford it. If its still around in a few months I will buy it.
