    Didn't see the tape. Or the wire spewing out of the headlight shell. Bet that stopped him in his tracks.

    Fuck I hate GNs, but its a fair effort to make them look worse. He's succeeded.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    The duct tape on the tyre is for lining up the rear guard.

    It's not an optimistic seller. The price is realistic. You guys just seem to want everyone to ride what you like rather than what they like.

    C'mon Drew. The seat height is going to be appropriate for someone 4"4', it's a certification nightmare, and it's obvious that it's a home hack job. Right down to rattlecan primer being used as the first and only finish on the frame. $800? Really? It's been so hacked that it'd be hard to sell it as a basket case for parts.

    It's still a live plate proper GN. I don't doubt he'll get the 800.

    B'shit Drew I don't care if its a chopper, its still poorly done, did you have a look at the frame?
    Gn's are not a bad bike, in fact a great learners bike, they are not my taste admittedly, Hes only succeeded in making a ok bike, a potential death trap.

    Well Drew, clearly he doesn't like it enough to keep it.
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    Dunno 'bout that.. we'll see if it sells..

    Maybe its another case of the missus telling him to 'Get rid of that shit!' - so he's put it up at an 'optimistic' price..

    Agree, but No they are a shit learner. In a past life teaching new riders we used to get maybe third to half the class showing up on new ones. They were hard to brake efficiently with long soft forks and silly bars. They were also hard to get around cones etc.

    I gave a young lass a ride on my CBX550, two ccts of the carpark (20 seconds) and she went straight through an obstacle course that had alluded her for several attempts wobbling and under steering on her GN.
    A CD250 was infinitely better and the later 250 VTR spardas even more so. Note how I'm praising Hondas here?

    Jesus wept. Atleast he is not asking $3k for "customised" parts.

    Sure it's ugly, but I'm gonna let this one slide.


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.
