    But but .. it's go tons of extras ...

    Powder-coated pillion footpegs ... a Gel seat ... after-market rear sets (no idea why - they are in the same place - just a different colour)


    THat's all got to add - oh - a good 50c to the price ..

    He's always been real pleasant when I've met him so I won't diss him as a person. But the 9k bucket is still being used by the trolls on this site to try claim that . . .well I dunno, some troll shit.
    Fortunately no one listens to Drew and Bob. Spyda, well, we kinda have to. He has a microphone.

    Maybe Triumph owners are next. Hey that's a good point. Can you run a modern Oil leaker in BEARs now they are made in Thailand?

    Whats troll about telling the truth about the price being asked for a bike on trademe? Im sure you saw it too because it seems youre on trademe a fuckin site more than me, but it obviously suits your agenda to pretend it didnt happen for whatever reason.

    Since you don't have a bucket to push anymore, would you have a turn on a superbike?

    Of course both are fine until shit happens.
    Years ago, when I was rich and successful (pre-Divorce) I used to have a 5.0ltr V8 and 250Kph was quite achievable. There was a certain enjoyable buzz that went with that.

    I would say that 180Kph, on a motorcycle, is even more enjoyable. Particularly around the long sweeping bends.

    This guy keeps banging on at the same price as the seasons change back and forth.

    There's little market for it. It's too old for being competitive in a class that's depleted. If you lie a bit for pre89 it's only a 125.

    6k? Who's going to buy it? At least in NZ. Despite being some HRC coolness.

    Really? You should get some help for that, or pull your head out of your arse.
    You seem to be in some kind of denial, which is sad, because you are a world expert on what people should be asking for stuff.
    You could start a website called "Ask Dave" so people could get their bikes priced accurately just from a few crappy photos to prevent embarrassment when they list their bikes on trademe.
    You could also pretend certain bikes were never on there as & when it suits your agenda.

    Aww. What's the matter?

    Its alright for you to purposely trol and bait in the bucket section but you get in a huff when people don't take you seriously thereafter?
    Goes with the territory.
