In harley comps this award is given to the bike which has the least number of bolts rattled off when fired up.

Must be rare though. 1983 xl Dakar are so rare in fact they have xr side covers.

And it looks to have a disc brake guard on the swing arm? I could be wrong but thats what it looks like.

clearly the SE is plated with platinum, and encrusted with diamonds and the chickie pictured is "available" to kickstart the thing, and for other duties.....

I tell you what though, someone obviously wants it (or the girly).... as it has bids on it. Can you not pick up a brand new SR400 and convert it to 500 for the same price?

Nope, the previous poster is just fishing! and tyre kicking....Mind you the girlie is cute..
AND who is this Raybe fella that always bids on bikes but never buys one?

thats me. the seller had deceptively set the opening bid at $3k: I wanted to get an idea of what he thought it was worth so bid it up to within 15% of reserve.

My view is that tardme should only allow you to set an opening bid that is reserve.... that way the first bid buys it and the frenzy commences.

best deal on a new SR400 I have been offered is $8999 incl ORC and with about two months rego left. Ex demo with about 1000k on it.

so not really.

The girly is quite delightful.

I've ridden an SR & they are not.

Pristine worked RZ money that is with money for holidays, and some left over to buy Aksle some chups.

Ah okay,..didn't realise the 400s were that dear !! Mind you there is a big market in Japan for them.

Those old/new SR400's appear to be one of the poorest value for money new bike purchases in history.

agreed. They have been making them essentially unchanged since 1978 and so they would have paid for the tooling by now. Plus comparing the RRP ($9599 + ORC) to other far more complex bikes does make them pale by comparison.

second hand W650's looking like better value tbh.

Can the seller on trade change the reserve at the last minute to make the sale in which case you would win it at the last bid?
