My first read of this thread and I did buy a new bike more suited to the damaged roads in Aug 2011 as I felt then they would be wrecked for years. Rainfall has become a new hazard for the roads as it causes potholes where there is liquifaction/cavities under the tar seal resulting from the earthquakes.

DRZ is the bike I take if heading anywhere east of cathedral square, roads are royally fucked out there.

Looking forward to the new skate park, stadium and convention centre being finished.

Don't hold your breath there mate.

There's a whole bunch of people who think we don't need any more white elephants and that other projects should have higher priority.
