I didn't buy it... i left my email with him, but i think i missed the boat someone was going to view it tonight.

seems that when ever theres a good deal i miss it, I'd searched trademe for months and then this comes up but i only saw it buggar all before it finished. dammit!

Lol If anyone wants to sell an old 125-250 that could be warrant and registrationable I'm keen.

bikes like this and the old cb's and the rest really float my boat, if only i lived in that era.

Wonder if its a KBer getting it for the CCC! :scratch: That looks real purty, if'n I didn't already have Pippi I would have gone for that! :lol:

Lets hope you are next in line for dibs if the people viewing it don't want it! :yes:

It looks like that guy put some serious hours into that bike.

I think you need to spend some time deceiding exactly what you want before you buy one in an Auction. Most 125s & 250s are pretty similar however all have their own riding characteristics; some of which you will like, others you will not. It is important that you are as comfortable as possible to feel safe on your bike. It's a B I G - D E C I S I O N

Good luck.

thanks yellow dog, it is and my mum isn't keen on me getting a bike, dads not to bad but he wants me to sort everthing out and i don't really feel i have enough experience in it.

i've had a little experience with a ct125 bucket and that was a pretty good little bike (bullet proof motor).

I'm really keen if anyone has a bike in the north island, basically what the boys and gals are using in the ccc, or like this little buety I wanted.
