Late-ish model sportsbikes for sale?

**tigertim20** · 18th July 2013, 23:37

Im currently looking for the next toy, but there doesnt seem to be alot out there.
I know, I know, the season etc etc, but still thought thered be a little more choice. there are a few nice options though.

Ive perused trademe, wheedle and bike trader, where else do people advertise their bikes these days, I just figured everyone uses trademe.

alternatively, does anyone have a late-ish model, (2005-2009) sportsbike, 1000cc they have been thinking about parting with but havent done so yet? maybe I can save you some trademe listing fees! . . .

Trade and exchange, or whatever they call it down here? Sometimes has good deals in it.

That 2009 Spies R1 for $7500 was the biz TT.

Were you a bit slow?

sitting in the barn is a unmolested 08 r1 with 6000k's on the clock.

I happen to have Bugdens 09/2010 Triple R Superbike bike in my garage, the one that currently has a couple of lap records...... Shirriffs reckons it is faster than Bugdens this years bike, got all the road gear too, Red thinks it will be easy to vin and rego, how serious be you?

Even in my hands it's still a 1.36 around Ruapuna on a good day, and well mannered enough to ride casually. 13k.

Clocked 210 on the Triple R dyno, but softer than that at the mo.

PM me if you want to debate the pros and cons of it.

thats an option if your tempted by bigger bikes.

Buy the Busa if it stays cheap and do it up then swap it for an almost new 1k if you dont like it.

That looks a good deal. You may need do a road trip at the moment. Could be a few more around soon when people start looking for this summers bike and want to sell their 2011 / 2012 models.

Trust me mate I wasn't a fan either. Was dead set on getting a R1 until I took a Busa for a test drive, sold me on the first 2 minutes.
Just as fun as a touring 1000cc but with rediculous power.

You be right, in fact, he could buy mine, on Tard me right now...............

Please tell me its the black turbo gen 1...

What do you say for a 2007 ZX10R?

It's got some kilometers (66,000kms). Recently fully serviced (all fluids, coolant, brakes, oil changed, cleaned and dusted).

Got a set of Dunlop Sportsmart front and rear approx 2,000kms ago, plenty of treads left.

*Leo Vince pipes.
*Removed Cat converter.
*Speedo healer.
*Power Commander.

All ready to go.

you got that not too long ago right? might be the same one i was offered as a trade for my gsxr by the previous owner! - i decided not to in the end.

i know the busa has mad grunt, i have ridden one before. if i was looking solely at a longer distance bike, itd be on my list along with the likes of a zx14, but i want to enjoy the sportier stuff before my spine makes the decision for me!
