Because im being "productive" at work i'll just copy paste the trademe sales pitch Im doing (its not on trade me at the mo as i have to credit my damn account)


here it is



"Only 26000 k's


Steal Of the century!

Recently crashed my car so need the sale ASAP to buy a car for work purposes.


I want to make this clear; this bike is not in mint condition and will need some work to get her up to w.o.f standard.

Problems with bike,
Indicators aren’t working, (they look like they just need hooking up as they are disconnected)

Front disc is bent, but will come with replacement.
Has a few cosmetic damage (scratches and cracks) on the fairings (on one side only) and tank (dent)
Frame is slightly bent.
Steering lock tab has broken off

Good points
Looks so damn nice,
Very nice indicators :)
Has some mean bits - aftermarket front discs, JMCA race exhaust (stainless/carbon/kevlar)
Very fast :D
It has a new Pirelli dragon on the rear and near new on the front (very sticky :D)
Brand new RAM air intake pipes
Also comes with a better fairing (wrong color and has one small crack but is very easy to repair, when painted you wont see it at all would nead to be tape'd at the back to stop any movement though)
Spare petrol tank to use while painting the one thats on it.

This is a very reluctant sale (I'd rather sell my kidney but no one is willing to buy one) but I need a car for work and I can always save up and buy another bike later on :'(

Obviously it’s not mint but with a bit of tender love and care it will be really really nice

Will upload more pictures later on when I get home from work.

$1 reserve $2000 buy now (if you're quick enough)


Will only sell to right buyer, Test rides welcome (must have at least a Lerner bike license but I’m not going to check..... :P )

Did I mention it has only 26000 km's?


Sold as is.
No time wasters.


Shipping will be arranged with buyer, most prefer pickup as I don’t have much spare time.

Only listed once at this crazy price"


Realistly how much do you think the bike is worth?


**shannon forgot to mention bent frame...... :weep:

Excuse me?

I never knew it had a bent frame!

If I knew that I never would have gone to all the work to swap it for the other frame and swingarm I gave you :crazy:

Sure it's not just the subframe?

The Pastor
26th October 2004, 16:13

The Pastor

Yeah, will get more when I'm at home



But the thing is, am I being fair in my sales pitch?

hmmmm probably depending on wether the frame is actually bent or not. If it is a decent running zxr250 with only cosmetic damage then $2000 is about right. But if it's electrics/frame/ anyother major bit is f@#ked then you will find it hard to sell. But if thats not to bad then $2000 is a really good price. It's all about economics you see if aperson bought it for $2000 and sunk $1000 would they then own a $3000 bike?? :done:

If Magua is telling the truth about how you ride... You wont live to see Monday unless you sell it :kick:

On a side note its people like you that give car enthusiasts a bad name... and soon bike ones too

Buy it Frankie and rid yourself of the Poo Lude. The Zxr has got more power than my bike, well better acceleration atleast.

Do you ride like that all the time Scott? That guy in the van was infuriated! I'm sure the person in the car behind you was shit scared as you revved the crap out of your bike.
