For Sale: 1989 Nt650 Bros

[puddytat]

Sadly, the old girl has got to go as I cant afford to run 2 bikes.
She's no longer stock standard as I have modified the airbox & exhaust as well as replaced the rear shock with a CBR900 one as this allows adjustment for rebound & compression. Front forks have also been done with 15wt oil,new seals & longer preload spacer.These mods have transformed her & she handles beautifully.
Since Ive had her she's had oil changes every 5000ks,new front & rear wheel bearings as well as a chain tensioner added. New front disk. Uses no oil. Has brand new Michelin Pilot Activs. Rego on hold & will come with a new warrant.
Good overall condition

if it was a 250 you could ask $4500.

Nice bike:niceone: My old man has one of these, but his is shaft driven. Goes really well and handles beautifully. Good luck with the sale.
(oh, and 2.5 grand is too cheap)

[Trouser]

Gah where was this add just 2 days ago. I bought something else but would have bought this instead.

Nice bike.

[Danboy]

Is the chain loose or is that just my bung eyes?:blink:

[Romeo]

Bugger - why can't I have my full licence now!

Awesome bike, and good luck with the sale. I wouldn't imagine you'd have much trouble moving it on ;D.

[HenryDorsetCase]

Eye wish I was a loud a nuvver boik. :weep:

They are pro twins and F3 legal I think. Cheap thrills for someone just as a racebike. they handle, too: a mate of mine had one, and one of the trackdays I went to there was a guy pedalling one very quickly.

I want I want, but Mummy says I am not allowed.... something about new shoes and groceries or some crap. :(

Aye ,they look a tad slack normally, been told that its a single sided thing & if adjusted "normally" they're too tight when the rear shock compresses & the swingarm is at its longest arc...I have got a tensioner from the States for it now.

Yes I was thinking of racing it, but Im gonna use the R6 instead. I have done 3 trackdays at Ruapuna on her & what a blast!! It may only have 50hp but you can use all of it everywhere, & with the suspension mods it went from a wallowing slag to a taut nubile :gob:& I was very surprised at how well it ran rings around many larger capacity bikes in the infield:yes:
They're quite a classic in thier own way (first production single sided swingarm) & I wll be sad to see her go,but she's going to waste in the shed.:weep:

Nice bike,looking for a reliable commuter with some more pep than the little GN250 for the weekend blast.Only problem is that by the time I got it up to Akld it may work out to expensive.

[puddytat]

Supposedly VERY reliable & 80000km is no problem...same motor as a Transalp & a lot of people rate them highly

[puddytat]

Valve clearances checked & adjusted @ around 48000,carbs balanced...

[zeRax]

yer, tis a nice bike, if i could justify having it id come over and pick it up ;\

but im getting rid of THINGS at the moment :\

[puddytat]

Couple more pics....showing 12mm drill mod to exhaust,modified sprocket cover & what you could do to it if you wanted. Oh & there's a ventura pack frame for it too.

[puddytat]

Modded sprocket cover...

[breakaway]

With the newer laws coming in, apparently this bike (NT650) will be on the learner approved list.

[nudemetalz]

Looks awesome !!!!

If I had the available funding, I would snap this up.
However, wife, mortgage and Guzzi takes care of that !!! :crazy:

[howdamnhard]

Whats the rear disc like? Does the radiator fan work?Do you still have the original centre stand?Is the modified exhaust a lot noisier? Am keen but would like it checked over before buying and also would it be possible to get it to Nelson(for transportation purposes).

[puddytat]

Rear disk seems fine,radiator fan works,I thought i had the centre stand but unable to find it, so no. The exhaust is not loud at all,just brings out the V-twin sound,more resonance without excessive noise.Friends have said it sounds awesome without being loud. Yes I could get it to Nelson & if you want someone to come & check 'er out that'd be fine.
Ive never had the fan come on with normal running,but I left her to warm up in the shed once & came back to find that the fan was running, but the temp was higher than Id seen it before.

[howdamnhard]

Thanks puddytat,did you get my message? Still trying convince the other half.

[puddytat]

Yeah mate ,sent you mail to your yahoo today

[puddytat]

Sold it!!!
