I wouldn't buy a bike off someone who can't spell its name properly, but that's just me.

You should do a search on here for "Northland Motorcycles" and see what comes up.

I paid 3k for a zrx1100, so no.

ZRX's are generally awesome though.

**DrDarkMatter** · 1st February 2013, 16:46

thank you, I am going to keep looking for something like this, I really dig the bike, there is a kawa GPZ550 going for about the same price though that IS on the allowed LTNZ list.

And that one has good cause to be called a classic.

lol ya, it sure is a classic., going to look at a Suzuki GSX250 2002 tomorrow, I really really like the looks and sounds of the Honda VFR NC24's but I cant find anything local at the moment.

Just as well, VFRs aren't LAMS approved

If you wanted a Honda 400 sportsbike you'd need to get an RVF instead.
