    10 grand... For that. Nice bike and all, but not worth 10k with those kilometres....

    Oh wait, it's got pazzo levers... That makes all the difference

    It comes with a anti retard plug in. I'd say that alone is worth 10k.

    Looking at the bike, those ks wouldn't bother me. Get it for nine and it's a good deal for all.

    Eight years old effectively.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    I don't understand your point. That's hardly old, and the bikes are known to go forever.

    Be that as it may vehicles plummet in perceived value as they get older. That will be 10yrs and 100thou in a trice. Be very hard to sell then.

    Perhaps. But it will be another ten years before it drops below $6K, and the motor is good for 200,000ks no drams as a road bike.

    Could also be eBay knock off levers. Can be hard to tell the difference. The braided lines are nice but from what I can see looks like only the Front brake line. Can't remember how much doing braided lines on the Busa cost, it was somewhere around 1K but that included rear & clutch as well.

    It's far too expensive considering how much other GSXRs 1 year younger year are selling for.

    Who wants to buy a bike with nearly 3x the K's for about the same price? The bike will be up for shit like fork seals, brake disks, bearings, chains, sprockets, cush drives, basically most wear items that most people don't usually replace in the next 1-2 years. When you factor that in (cost of parts, cost of labour, your time to get the bike to the shop and back), even 8k is too expensive for it. It's worth 7k MAXIMUM.

    If it is him, probably playing rugby all the time so no time to buy and sell, unless a family member is using the account too?
    Of course it could be a co-incidence but if not then NZRB is paying them too much....
