Optimistic sellers

[TheDemonLord]

The two hipster guys from "Pariah Custom Werks" in Browns Bay sell 10+ year old, less than 1000cc, Jap bikes they've "done up" for over $30,000.

Apparently they've managed to sell at least one.

Don't get me wrong - some of their work is nice (if somewhat uninspired), but hands up if you'd pay over $30,000 for an old Jap bike repainted and a new exhaust put on it.

If your hand is still up - let me know, I'll sell you an old Jap Bike for $29,999

Nothing wrong with the bike, not for me, but I love the saddle bags.

That bike could be for you, it took a month to get from chch to AKL

could go go faster without those bags

So it has super hard old rubber on it and he thinks that is a good thing.

Never seen the rain, nor anything past 6k rpm I would think. Almost as bigger travesty as the price.
7 year old bike for 16k? Maaaaate, you're dreeeaaaammmmiiiinnnnggg.

I love it when people brag about having never ridden in the rain, as if it's some sort of badge of honour. Or as if the rain somehow magically degrades motorcycles.

Always cracks me up when they say NEVR DROPPED OR SCRATCHED BY ME THEY ARE FROM PREVIOUS OWNER

[eldog]

prefer riding in the rain and the dark, but that's just me.

which reminds me, better go and see if the bike will start, so long since I have ridden it.

WNJ - does "Not me Mum" sound familiar?

Only 3 careful owners

I love the part about No Test Rides - If I'm going to drop 16K on a Bike (and that is a big if) I goddamn well expect a Test Ride.

I sold a bike for $16k and the guy didn't even hear it running before he took possession.

Why? The one here is over priced of course, but you expect not to like a modern bike worth $16k?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trolling here. I'm asking because it makes little sense. I won't buy a bike I haven't ridden either, but the reality is that only older bikes need ridden to check for mechanical faults.

Yeah, what dealer would actually say there were any kilometres left in six year old tyres?

Surprises me that Honda Hamilton would say that as they once "steam cleaned" my bike when it was in for a service and charged me for it, but managed to miss all the dirt and grime whilst doing so (they never did it).
Wankers.
