Don't buy this.

But how can I get out of it?
Since I've won the auction what else can I do, aren't I legally required to make the sale? :\

Okay, if you were to estimate how much it would cost to get on the road...
Repairs + repairs + 700 (on road costs)?

Cheers again

Strip it yourself if you're worried about the money.
Bag/label everything and have an owners manual handy.

If you do go ahead with this and get stuck with anything put a thread up on here or send me an email (I'll send you my email shortly) I will help you out where I can.
There are a fair few chaps in the Wellington area who are very helpful and very knowledgeable so don't be afraid to ask.

Tell them Pete from Wellington Motorcycles sent you.

Will that make it cheaper or more expensive???

Probably ten times the price!

Word from a source I do trust, is that the bike was fucked. The weld should be tested.

My bad for thinking the worst of the thread starter, and not wanting to think the worst of the seller.

Nonplussed, you still strike me as less than credible with the delivery you have chosen to bring this to our attention.

You saw the post, ran to the kitchen, fried an egg, ran outside and snagged a passer-by and conned him into your house to take a photo of you with the afore-mentioned egg plastered to your face?

That's dedication

...welded to his face...in all honesty it did just resemble another KB thread...and responded to accordingly...the weld bits were kinda un-enlighteningly, enlightening...

If it was meant to be an apology, it would have sounded like one.

I make no apology for my comments, I only admit I took the wrong side of the fence on this one. Story of my life really.

I've reread this thread a few times (yes sad i know but there is no good movies on tonite). I think that if nonplussed did indeed give a more accurate description of their involvement with this bike & engineering knowledge then maybe instead of it turning into a shooting match, the real issue would have been addressed. That would be that bikes are being sold from this vendor (albeit at $1 reserves) with incomplete & sometimes inaccurate descriptions. That is fine if they're going to be wrecked for parts but to mislead someone that they are buying a bike that may have structural damage is not a good look.

Maybe the next time around some more information initially may save someone from buying a lemon.
