    Yer.
    This Guy is a complete F*#K Tard! Hit buy now and said he would pick up in a week. Then got his mate to check it out, his mate was happy with the bike and said he would get back to me. No Reply until i sent several txts.Trader doesn't have his motorbike licence, complete dreamer! His excuse for not buying in the end was "party is no longer interested". All traders take note i would not deal with this nutcase again. LUKE is a TIME WASTER BEWARE!

    bluebridge ferries do a lyttleton to wellington service, $180, that'll save a lot of time then get to wellington via plane or overnight train and ride it back from there..., or get a quote to do the wellington to auckland bit from bike transport folk, the combo might be cheaper,

    Welp, we aren't going to buy anymore, turns out the frame is bent on the bike and it's a lot worse than advertised, time to go look at a yamaha zeal haha

    The lesson is: if it sounds too good to be true, its not true usually.

    I think you made the right call. For two grand I should buy it, strip it, get it straightened, and flick it on. Except of course for the time effort and endergy involved in doing so.

    When I get my bikes, I use Biketranz. Whats a extra $80 or so to ensure your bike gets there in one peice and safely? Some people look for the cheapest option. the frieght might be cheaper with certain companys but then when you add the price of repairs to paint and panel it costs more in the long run! A lot cheaper then the days off work it takes to go get it yourself!

    Yeah as someone who was severely fucked around by a 'transpro't company, I can give you some advice. Buy something locally.

    The uncertainty around the seller, the uncertainty while it's in transit and the fact that you generally don't see the bike before you buy it add up to too much risk. If you're buying from a well known KB member you might be alright but not trademe.

    Spend an extra $500-1000 and get the same thing in AKL.
