This bike is in tidy condition .Since I brought it a few months back I have fitted a 170 metzler road tech to the back, New brake pads front and rear, a new battery, more comfortable foot pegs. New oil n filter and I have done all the normal fiddling with the suspension you need to do to get rid of the front end dive RF's seem to have
The bike has done 68,000 miles and starts first push of the button in the morning. It does have minor cosmetic damage to the fins on the fairing side which are scratched, some stone chipping on the tank,a scuff on the front corner of the muffler and the tail light has been repaired.
The bike handles and goes as well if not better as any of the other rf900's I have ridden.
I may concider another cheaper bike as a Trade in
I NEED $3800.00
If interested contact Frosty by PM or on 021 0354615.

Since he's not technically minded, here's the pics from his trademe ad.
Hope Frosty hasn't repainted the bike and it looks totally different now...
112000kms puts me off any bike....no offense mate, but thats the problem i would think
if you can spend an extra thou and get something with half those kms on it, thats probably the way people will go

Wrong. 112000 kms on any motor based on the GSXR1100 is bugger all. Those motors go forever.
Remember that this motor is severely under-stressed. :mellow:

Will vouch for that. Mine's on 90,000 and hasn't so much as sneezed.

Mine's just clocked over 100,000.
Only trouble I've ever had was my carbs.
and that one time taking off up the hill outside Colapop's with Colapop on the back and the clutch was a bit shuddery...
but we had to have at least 210kgs load on the bike.
At $4000 Frosty's practically giving this bike away.

Because you're coming from a position of ignorance. As previously stated, its not a lot of Kms for this sort of bike. They're built like brick shithouses.

It's not wrong at all - I'm just putting it in perspective. The experience of RF riders is that 112,000km ain't a deal killer
Because you're coming from a position of ignorance.
whether its got a bullet proof engine has nothing to do with it, its been on trademe for bloody ages and it hasnt sold and its cheaper than any other RF on there....
so......im just suggesting that i think people are put off by the km's....if you think im wrong then ok, thats cool...whatever

No worries Yod. I didn't mean it to sound as grumpy as it came out. On a second read it sounds a bit rough. My apologies.

Jeez Yod you really know how to wind up the RF riders don't ya? Those two are overcompensating you know... and you've just insulted their.. Oooo maybe I shouldn't go there...

Ohhhhhh, thats cheap as! As said above, with 100,000kms on the clock the bikes only just been run in. If I wasn't in the position of needing a nice car I would almost consider buying that.
But, if you were a uneducated bike buyer 100,000+kms would look daunting because they dont understand about these bikes. However the price is to suit this.
Awesome bike, best of wishes with the sale.

:laugh: no worries there guys, i can get a bit carried away meself, all good
the only reason i was even in the thread was that I'm considering leaving the ranks of the viffer riders and joining the riffer riders (ssssshhhhh), the main reason being there are quite a few well priced RFs out there and i've heard good things about them.....just need to get a few more dolleros togetha
unless frosty will take $3k lol

since I bought this bike off Frosty I have added another 12,000ks and apart from doing the oil, filters and chain & sprockets I havent needed to touch the motor!:lol: also people who know me from the ATNR(west) will tell anyone that it does NOT get an easy time of it hehehe. What I'm getting at, is, if you want a bike that you can ride to welly on but still want to have some serious fun ( I've heard it'll do over 260k ) you cant go past the mighty
RF900!! Thank you Frosty for showing me the light :hug:

Good to see it's still going well Chocky, as is mine.
I'm thinking throwing a gixxer tail on mine would be a good mod:
