You'd be pretty disappointed if you imported one to UK for big bucks. No xr69 replica.

They look good in pics but they are just a nasty 90s Suzuki parts biner. A mk1 Bandit is no better or worse . . .well except that the Bandit has single shock.

Good on them for making the concept but there was a reason they were selling them for like $9999

I wouldnt mind that in the shed, I quite like it.

But not 10k like it.

Pftttt typical response to any Suzuki. They are a underrated bike that was priced very well in NZ because Suzuki were over stocked with them in Japan (Japan only model) and as they often do shipped them off to NZ in a bulk deal.

I had one which arrived with the full titanium Yoshi in the crate. Nice stable ride that hauled arse all day long with money to burn on other entertainments compared with other branded equivalents going for thousands more.

Not sure if the estimate is optimistic but it could be optimistic to assume it's the same bike? Same rego anyway.

That makes the museum piece Triumph seem like good value

Asking price $1999 and won't sell below $2000.

Sweet. There's some punk kid running around in my area with a seriously annoying flogged old 50cc scroter, it doesn't have two-stroke ring-a-ding, it's got weedeater scream instead. I should flag him down and point him at this ad, this little beauty will give him street cred and enable him to score that chick at the fish'n'chippie. Win!

HE'S CERTAINLY DONE SOME WORK ON IT, HOWEVER IF HE WANTS A GOOD PRICE, THAT FINAL 5%, INC THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES, NEEDS TO BE SORTED.

Doing all that to a poxy old 125 is such a waste of good work

(apologies for the CAPS LOCK)
