ohh its in yellow dc:<

thats what i need for around town bike

damn female for wanting to buy a house

[vifferman]

Nice looking bike! But regardless of that, it'd be worth buying just for the name.
"And what do you ride?"
"Ah yeah; I ride a Goose!"
"Does it go "Honk! Honk!!"?"

[jrandom]

You know, that's a very nice bike. I'd have one like a shot, if I was wanting to buy summat right now. We talked about them a while back, IIRC.

Recommended to anyone with a full licence that wants a good, fun, cheap commuter.

You might have to settle for a little less than $4995, though, victorlaszlo.

I just really love the styling. Classic cafe'd-out look.

I bet it'd wheelie off the clutch real nice, too.

[victorlaszlo]

Yep, it's a bloody good commuter, I just bought a XF650 to do some touring, so I that's why I am selling her.

And she's in excellent condition, too

[James Deuce]

Crikey that's tempting. I really like them. There is a dude who commutes on one in Wellington. It has a wee screen on it and it looks and sounds fabulous.

[gav]

yeah nice, nearly as good as a Gilera Saturno :innocent:

[jrandom]

(subsequently-deleted naughtiness for which there shall be... a SPANKING!)

Don't hijack the nice man's thread with another ad, that's rude.

[vifferman]

Crikey that's tempting. Crikey?
Sam - is that you?

Don't hijack the nice man's thread with another ad, that's rude.But... but... GAv's Saturno is SO gorgeous! Surely we can forgive him his rudeness?

Oh... I clicked on the linkything, and discovered he'd also hijacked summat from TradeMe.:Oops:

[gav]

ooopps, quite right, I'll pull the ad, you may want to change your quote too,

[James Deuce]

how about another 350cc single road bike? (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Road-bikes/Other/auction-16051593.htm)
Gilera Saturno 350 $2750

They're gorgeous and and I want one of them too, but Suzuki spares are in plentiful and ready supply.

eerrr, is that a serious consideration when you buy a Suzuki, huh?

[vifferman]

They're gorgeous and and I want one of them too.Snot that different from the TRX, apart from lacking a lung, izzit?

[jrandom]

eerrr, is that a serious consideration when you buy a Suzuki, huh?

Well, er, yes. One thought I did have in relation to the Goose was 'you wouldn't have much trouble keeping that on the road for pennies'.

And that's a virtue in a motorcycle, in my humble, plebian, can't-afford-a-Ducati, not-much-mechanical-aptitude opinion.

Sniff.

[gav]

Actually the Goose is just a FXR350 , aint it? maybe you could trade up? :2thumbsup

Pretty much, I suppose. Yes, I do fancy a Goose. No full licence yet for me, though. Bit silly, that I can ride a 60hp two-stroke, but not a 32hp four-stroke. But we've covered that before, I think.

And because of all that frustrated repression, when I *do* trade up, I'll probably buy as many ponies as I can get for my cash. For the same money as a nice Goose, f'rinstance, I could probably find an old Bindit 12 to add Ohlins bits to.

[James Deuce]

eerrr, is that a serious consideration when you buy a Suzuki, huh?

Yes. I went all gaga over the 500 Saturno in Motorad and Paul in NZ brought me back to earth rather quickly by reninding a few points, that being on of them. If it was NZ new you are more likely to have better long term support. Gilera hasn't made a road bike since the Saturno, and they are getting on a bit, so there will be wear and tear to sort out. The Goose is practically brand new.

[James Deuce]

Snot that different from the TRX, apart from lacking a lung, izzit?

You're not wrong. Crikey, I might be obsessed.

[Kjell]

I got the black one of the Goose, got a bit of ridicule from some 400 types, but suits my needs, and after keeping up or overtaking them they looked at it a little different. Only 145Kg dry, sweet.

It does honk, and does honk along, really nice note to it when getting above 6.5 krpm, and can do a mean backfire/retard to scare pedistrians/bad drivers.

Wheelie, yep managed to do one at 80 kms when going to pass, scared the crap outta me and the driver I was overtaking. And now have managed to wear the new slime off the tyre to nearly the edge, mainly from trying to keep up to my mates VTR1000.

[Jackrat]

Real neat bikes,but a Rat on a goose??
Just wouldn't work,imagine the jokes :angry2: :msn-wink:

[inlinefour]

Out of all the bikes that I could have brought while I was last looking I came accross one just like this and I for some time seriously considered buying one. Yes, I know its not a Honda, however that fit of psychosis (PT) passed and the good Lord sent me the way of my CB. Funny how it all works out.
Nice bike never the less. :niceone:
