2004 custom cbr600 needs new owner!
Big bad cbr600rr custom up for sale with $$$$ spent in extras
More pics available


Heaps of chrome and custom on this speedster cbr 600rr, including FMF exhaust, new PowerCommander USBIII, custom seats, custom brushed chrome wheels, chrome honda engine and alternator covers, clear alternatives integrated rear indicator/brake, fender eliminator and flip-up number plate, flushmount front indicators, machined bar ends, custom reflective screen, new tires front and rear (dunlops at 800 for the pair!) custom black pearl paint, new oil and filter, new chain/sprocket, have original title from USA import showing undamaged, clear title and all other paperwork showing i paid more than what i am asking a year ago, a genuine pearler. Just run in at 12000kms, but too fast for my g/f to keep up so ive downgraded. This bike has been covered and in storage on a charger. See her on trademe, auction 214935897.

Its gotta go as the garage is FULL and the wallet is empty. I would even throw in a free armoured jacket (MOBIUS) never used with liner, and perhaps more for the right price.

Available most days for viewing or test ride, but standard rules apply (DL and cash held on test ride). There's nothing like it, period. Genuine reason for sale, as a house deposit looms!!

good luck with that, 10k for a 5 year old bike with 'questionable' history?

i have a blue recycle bin for sale.. only 4,000 NZd.. NZ New .. call me !

[Morcs]

This bike has been for sale for yonks. there must be something wrong somewhere.
It was in wildwest too I think and they couldnt sell it.

[NOMIS]

Yeah i recall seeing it in wild west.

Why would some people repaint a perfectly good CBR decal to plain empty black?

Hey guys, last time i checked we were not enemies, but ur totally bagging my bike and i dont even know you. the bike was for sale at Wild West Honda, yes, but its a slow market for 2nd hand at that price. 2 people were turned down for financing, which kept the bike off the floor for quite a while. Wild West even shut down, so that tells u something about the market. There is no "questionable" history on this bike, im just stating where its come from, which i can prove. Its in great shape, full stop.

The bike has been for sale for a while, perhaps the price too high or the market for 2nd hand is flat. Anyhow, all positive feedback from potential buyers, but just hasn't gone yet, and i dont want to trade cash plus something else (regular offers).

Anyhow, nothing is wrong with it and thanks for totally screwing with my ad. Thought as fellow bikers we might support each other but guess not. Dont you think you could play with each other somewhere else?

10.3k is expensive for an 04 cbr600RR

[Gremlin]

Not to bash your bike, but Renegade Master is correct.

Granted I traded it, but I had a modified 04 ZX10, and traded that for $9k. Didn't have chrome everywhere, but was custom tuned on the dyno etc

(mate thats a signiture it goes at the bottom of EVERY one of my posts and isnt directed at you)

Mods on a bike, esp jap sports have little or no addition to the resale value, its werid becuase you can sell the parts individully and get a some money, but as soon as you bolt them on, they are worth nothing over stock items.

fair enough gremlin for your thoughts without rudeness, but lots of facts missing about your bike you are attempting to compare. how many kms? integrated tailight? custom indicators? custom flyscreen? hand-machined bar ends? just suggesting that my bike is unique and deserves to be seen b4 slagged. And a zx10 is an orange to my apple (lets keep lemons out of this). did u trade in at a shop?? im just pointing out that without riding or seeing its all a bit of assumption. know me (spike the bike) before you judge me....

i noticed the thin white line just after i posted, but im sure you can see how it was read as a continuation. true that ad-ons have less value when bolted on, but i think im being fair in what im asking. Ive brought the price down since the shop had it (did have good offers, but turned down by finance company), and in the end it will go for market value i suppose. already losing thousands, so trying to get SOMETHING back. but the bike itself is straight as an arrow, just as fast too!

anyhow, no worries, maybe someone will come ride it and find out what its worth....

some people are stupid enough to pay 8k for a 1990 zxr250, so you never know! but as your new here, bikes rarely sell on KB, best to use TM

[mynameis]

Tip:

Try the US market or alternatively keep dropping the price till someone buys it.

That way you'll soon figure out what the current market value of your bike is.

Either way good luck with the sale :D

[NOMIS]

dude stuff em if you want 20k for you bike who cares. sel it for what you want. if you dont get it or have to be patient who gives a stuff..

and i modded the crap out of my old hornet and adjusted price to reflect that, got what i asked as well

[Gremlin]

Yep, was traded to a shop, so always going to be worse, but giving you an idea.

Not going to take your thread too off topic, so here's a link to mine (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=70075)

Thing is, unless someone is like you and appreciates exactly what you have done, machined bar ends for example, are no different to other a/m bar ends, as long as they work, correct weight etc. That person also needs to find you, and pay approximately what you want. Hard ask, and I didn't get any decent bite in 6 months, bit the bullet, and traded it.

Anyway, good luck, but its against you, higher price than market, the economy and heading into winter (when prices always drop back)

First, I apologise for carrying on the off-topic conversation regards the blue recycle bin. That was unfair of me, and I see my comment was removed, which is good.

Im going to echo Gremlin here a bit.

This is honest feedback, from a real buyer, and your bike was one of the bikes I looked at. At that point, it was in Wild West. Being in a shop, OBH, it obviously had higher $$$ on it then than it does now.

From my point of view:

1. Its a 2004. The 2005 model was a fairly significant upgrade (unusual for Honda), meaning that, effectively, it is now 3 major models old.

2. Some of the visual customisations weren't to my taste, some of them were done reasonably nicely. I thought:
* the spikes werent my cup of tea
* the paint / chroming was reasonably nicely done, though again, not really to my personal tastes.
* the screen hard to see through when crouched down
* the machined bar-ends were a major turn-off for me. They certainly would not pass scrutineering at a clubmans race (and potentially track day scrutineering as well?). I also cut myself on one of them while I was looking around the bike, which didnt help my opinion of them any either :)

3. As with cars, mods/customisations basically never increase overall value. They are a black-hole when it comes to money. You would possibly be better putting the standard stuff back on, and selling the mods separately, or offering them as additional options.

I personally see mods as a de-valuer as they are often not done properly (I am NOT implying this in your case, just as a generalisation). And mods often have negative implications relating to 'boy-racers' and the likely associated wear-n-tear on the machine.

The only way I personally consider mods is if they were easy to revert to stock (and original stock bits came with the vehicle as well, that way I know the mods were done for the right reasons), or if they were done (and documented proof of such) by a well-known and reputable firm.

One of the things I keep in mind when buying something is potential resale and difficulty of resale. I felt your bike would probably be problematic for me to resell later on as it would not have as much general appeal, and would therefore restrict me to a smaller segment of potential buyers.

At the end of the day, keep in mind that anybodys comments are in relation to their OWN PERSONAL PREFERENCES. And no, its not fair for them to slag your pride-and-joy in a public forum.

As Gremlin states, if you are willing to hang on to find the right buyer, then you will likely get the right price for it.

Good Luck!!

PS. Once you have read this, Im more than happy for it to be removed if you would like. I just wanted to give you some hopefully helpful feedback.

what you mean by "chrome brushed wheels" looks like youve just stripped and polished the lip with wet and dry till it shines ?

[325rocket]

Im sure there is someone out there looking for a bike just like that. As suggested you might have more luck on trademe due to the current market.

Good luck with the sale.

Thanks robboh, its up as your OWN PERSONAL OPINION, and thats fine. Least you looked at it and only had issues with the style not fitting yours. As for the mods, well it is unique and someone else i think will appreciate it. Did you ride it by chance? Thats always a fairly good indication if its a good bike, as they are often not just sitting still (tho she looks great parked up!).

As for selling, yeah i have a TM ad as well, and can imagine bikes dont regularly sell through here. Anyhow, no worries leaving the comment up, i got a bit disappointed at first with the off topic and thread hijack, but all in the name of harmless fun and such. Will let people come and see and make an offer on the bike. Cheers.

the wheels have been machine brushed, but to be 100% accurate, they are not chromed. the lip shine was professionally done, and i bought the bike this way. cheers.

[BLazeD]

It was a sick bike, I would have bought it if I had my full. As it was I settled for a ZX-6R.

Good luck with the sale mate,nice to have something a little different eh,good for you.Take no notice of some of the comments made,some of these cunts are worse than tyre kickers (if thats possible).Quite surprising what money can be got for something a little different,ive recently been offered an SV for a straight swap on my old TLS.

Online posting bagging someone else's ad is cheaper than a cheap horny 1975 vietnam prostitute.

It's actually cheaper than cheap horny 1975 vietnam prostitute's cheap makeup.

Live and let live. Let buyers beware, but if you're not buying it shouldn't be any of your business.

Fucking Trademe Syndrome... sigh
