Any kiwibikers bidding on this? Someones gonna get a bargain, $3K for a classic mile muncher that could take two people and their luggage around NZ is a bargain. Not everyones cuppa tea but I like the look of this one.

Yeah, I've been watching that one too. Those old skool Wings are the bling, they have that certain something the new ones are missing.

Yeah I like it more than the new plastic supertankers that they are now, would have been a great bike for a tourist you probably couldn't hire a tourer for six weeks that size for that price. I was thinking of getting it and sending it to OZ for a tour, shipping is a bit more than I thought it would be. Least he got a fair price in the end.

The seller seems a bit of a twat, though.


Seller Comment: I Reserve the right to remove bidders with terrible feedback..cheers

four uncompleted trades and 3 negative feedbacks..(Bikeman )and all this in under 50 trades..you dont look good??

You should check my feedback. Have bought 11 70's and 80's bikes in last 8 months with contacts from trademe. (Passed in auctions that do not necessarily show up). Good luck with your auction.

I've got sympathy for the seller, but he's not making any friends there.

I looked at my bank balance! That would make a monster cafe racer, that motor would look bloody cool.

<hints id="hah_hints"></hints>Hahaha, I assume you've already seen that ludicrous black one with the barrelled pipes (MenkelWing)?

How about this Survival then? Not so shiny, but still a GL under it all. The black and the green/camo/mud one are the same bike, a year apart and more evolved / devolved. From ratbike.org http://www.ratbike.org/docs/150.html
