    Seriously?

    I know that in it's original form it was an iconic bike from New Zealand's motorcycle racing history but seriously.......

    http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...-524355037.htm

    I see a motor, half a frame, half a swing and two wheels.

    (Oh, and a fuel tank).

    Someone with mucho moolah will restore it to its former glory. I would if I'd bought the right Lotto ticket

    Oh, sorry Drew - I must have got you wrong.

    I thought you said there was a roller there.

    Don't be facetious, I said it comes with what's needed to make a roller.

    That is not the same thing.

    I see your point ...

    It's a fucking suzuki. And not even road legal.








    But on the bright side ... no sign of the usual amount of rust that's usually seen ..... on bikes of that era ...

    Yeah .. it's "a fuckin' Suzuki' ... I watched Roger Freeth race this bike ... it is a piece of NZ motorcycle history ...

    It might be woth $17k if it was all there ... and it might be worth that when it is rebuilt ... but not in that condition ...

    The guy that cut it in half should be forced to sell a kidney to pay for it's restoration. No anesthetic mind.

    agreed.

    Last year one came up at rmd (we discussed it on KB) and from memory it was round the $25k mark.

    I think that this deserves to be rebuilt and if Ken can do it so much the better. The best bet would be to send all the bits up there and say to him "Sort it out" but I reckon you would have $40k in it easy, maybe more by the time you were done.
