Got it for sale aye? :eek:

now... you gave the tuner a working laptop back, didn't you? :bleh:

Good luck... are you still toying with the options for a new bike?

And the replacement will be.......?
Good luck with sale Matt, this is a great well cared for bike.

Thought seriously about trading mine in and moving to a newer bike but couldn't justify the extra expense so I sent it over to Dr Taylor's hospital for old and weary suspension instead and he has kindly fitted an Ohlins shock and and some new thingamys up front. Apparently she's now a very happy girl (looking forward to seeing her when she's discharged next week).

Well, mindful of peoples fears of bikes with a few k's on them, despite them being unfounded most of the time!

Got the new toy. Need to shuffle it on and pay a few bills. Dont want to see her go *sniff*.

As for the price today, uhm, $7249.95

It's also winter. None the less, the bang/buck ratio on this bike is starting to get absurd.

I wonder if it's scaring people off?
Maybe I should advertise it on Trademe for $9k. Or maybe I should just advertise it on Trademe full-stop. heh. I'm a lazy bastard.

If you actually want to shift it you could always do the $1 reserve thing. I imagine you'd get more in .... January? Just after the last batch of newbies get their full and are looking for a cheapie 600 to trash.

Not that I know anyone prone to killing speed fours, mind you.

I'd cry if the new owner crashed it. It's too pretty to be munted!

I'll put it on trademe this weekend I think.

I've just taken her out after sitting in the garage for a couple of weeks. As per usual starts first pop.

Godamn she's beautiful, and the noise! I love it!

Basically in short, sorry guys. I've raised the price to $7999. I've come to my senses and just cant let it go that cheap. She's a stunning bike and i'm currently looking into ways to keep her!

Devil
28th August 2008, 17:21
Ok, hate to say it, but the this bike has to go, now.

$6750. Will come with 6 months rego.
WOF due october but will do that too if new owner requests.

I'd take $6k here people. Quite serious.
$6k as is. You'd need to put some rego on it (nothing backdated of course), I could go do a warrant for it.
It has a new oil filter with it, just needs the oil.

Underneath the cover is a pile of wood :mellow:

The 10 is sitting in a locked garage, and I had her out today making her road legal, wof (about 4 months out) and rego (40 odd days out)

So glad the breath check I road through last Friday (and then deliberately again) didn't check anything but breath... that would have been a bad look :crazy:

Devil

Ok well it's all over. She's gone :weep:

Congratulations Mowgli, I hope you enjoy your time with her! (I know you will).
I'll be down to say hi to her whenever i'm passing through!

Best bike ever. :crybaby:

Thanks Matt,
The ride down through south Waikato was fantastic. Won't mention the weather elsewhere. Needless to say a quick trip to pickup some cleaning products was in order. Now she's real purdy again just like you remember :msn-wink: Weather for trip home tomorrow is starting to look up. Fingers crossed my gloves dry out by then.

You're both welcome to call in any time you're in the Manawatu or Hawkes Bay. There's a spare bed at ours if ever you need one. I'll be in touch about the papers and plastic I left behind.
