    Cost of a motorcycle inspection?

    Hey everyone, There is a bike I am interested in which is located in Hamilton. I emailed a motorcycle shop to ask about price and information on motorcycle inspections and that I do not live there. Most likely get reply tomorrow. Has any one got information on the price and what happens? Thanks.

    If you're in Auckland, Hamilton's really close, surely you'd want to go and see it yourself

    Oh yes definitaly I will be doing that just need to wait to tomorrow to see how much shop will charge to inspect the bike while I am down there and if I need to making a booking to do that. Does VTNZ do inspections? I guess they wouldin't do one like a shop tho aye.

    Offer to pay for a WOF ... if it PASSES ... about $45 ... (those in the Tron may correct me on this)

    Decide if you still want it if it doesn't ... but I would say the current owner will know if it should pass or not ...

    Refusal of this offer may tell you lots ...

    Told by seller (I work at Road & Sport Motorcycles in Hamilton and purchased the bike in January 2010 ) so I am thinking work done there.

    Nice big naked tourer.

    Fine machines, bloody good price.


    Only issues I've read about them is that some had leaky rear shocks. Usually happened during the warranty period so were replaced.


    Nice with the pipe too.
