    Before or after the Yammy 400 you purchased on a whim last year?

    There is indeed a dent in the left header as spotted ..........

    Yep. Cool bike and all, but not the 20 originally asked, nor the 30 now 50. Check out the wanker that reconks he'd pay 65 for it, if not for having just brought his wife a Ferrari! Tui!!!

    after..........

    The SR400 was supposed to be a "cool commuter" but honestly theres no such thing.

    Turns out I am a Honda guy through and through - make of that what you will. ;-)

I've ridden it a couple of times but I dont want to keep it - I'll sell it and put the money towards something else. Its that simple. $2500 takes it away. Current WOF and reg on hold.

    Looks like a tidy one but I've just spend $6500 on braces for the boy preceded by $550 worth of teeth removal ...

    Ordered $500 worth of glasses to wear at work.

    And the girl is in year two at Otago studying neuroscience ......

    And I'll be made redundant this year (hopefully ......)

    And I've turned 53 today ............

    But the early morning ride to Akaroa was sweet today and the evenings post ride wipe down of the bike (plus wine) has life back in balance.

    Lotto fucked out again though.

    Back to work tomorrow I guess.

    Shit man, pop into Casbolts, ask for Craig and ask him for his best price on the Moo-cow seat CB1100. It's fucking cool, but been sitting there for well over two years (they were building it when I purchased my Ducati new late in 2015).

    It will commute, scratch and tour and run forever (very under-stressed engine),

    Plus you can fuck around and up-grade the suspension as your lawyer bonuses roll in.

    Hmm - check the age of the tyres - might be a good negotiation.

    I love the seat and pipe on that bike and it has the original bars from my Hornet 900 on it so it's like we slept with the same girl once

    That's actually good value. Far too nice to turn into a pre 82 racer or customise.

    Pipe wrap and a brown seat and he could ask a extra $500 ..........

    Add shitty Firestones and a cut off rear frame loop and another grand................

    Shit I should buy it now!

    You're still relatively young - you'll get past that stage. Only when you have room for no more will you think about selling.....

    This thread is all about 'Optimistic Sellers' - You'll need to add, at least, another $10k on to the price
