Some people are in a position that a bike is simply a toy and nothing more.
Hell I'm a broken arse and mine end up looking far worse

Yeah, but yours usually look quite mint the day before they look worse.

It looks legit. I have the rego and carjam report. Are maybe going to look at it this weekend, but I'm picking it will need a couple of grand spent on it. Tyres/chain/lube/service is a grand at least

And skiddy - you're a fucking muppet. did you even text the sellers cell # asking anything? obviously not.

Why would i when i'm not interested in buying it...

You lot really are beyond belief sometimes, i said it looked a bit suss... new trader etc etc... very vague and only one photo...

thought best to check it wasn't a nicked bike... and i get ripped into instead...

On behalf of all kiwibikers, Mark, I'm sorry.

Indeed - there's fuck all actually selling on TardMe. A bike I was keen on about 4 months ago has just been relisted at $2k more than what it didn't sell for last time around. I would have pretty much paid the asking if he'd just sent me some decent pics like I asked for before I committed to an entire day to go and view it, but no, that was too much trouble! So now the fucking clown is having another crack! Got to laugh...

without any backgrounding or justification, you started a thread titled 'possibly stolen r1'.

if it was me trying to sell it, i'd be hunting you down.

as it is the owner of it has seen this thread, and he's not happy with you at all.

LOL!!! Does anyone know skids address so we can forward it to the owner!!!

(I'm NOT serious about this by the way)

Then we can wait for the "I got a smack in the head.

Its not fair" thread!

Oh shit Kiwibiker is just gold some weeks!!!! Very entertaining!! LOL!!!!

If anybody is interested, they can check service history, and see who serviced it and ask questions ...

An R1 with recent or custom pain job would be more sus ... anybody missing one would already be checking ALL R1's listed for sale ... anywhere...
