    Are you here for the 5min argument or the full 1/2 hr?

    I've told you once.

    If I remember correctly same as my old 750 twin Kawasaki - 360 degree - both pistons rise and fall together and each cylinder fires alternatively - kind of like a big arse single really. There are people rephasing them to 270/277 degree (reduces vibration).

    Good site for info and parts is MikesXS.com

    I'm not sure. Didn't need to stage it to start it off the Kickstart, but I dunno which order that would support.

    Sorry I thought we had moved on to the 850 at that stage.

    Oops missed that! Can't remember what they were - sounded ace back in the day though. Don't think they were as reliable as other Japanese rides of the day.

    A triple phased at 120 degrees. With a crank that looks just like a Toyota car - and probably weighs the same.

    Now that I like the idea of. Looks like it would be light and handle well. The execution is pretty flawless, a million miles from the shitters. And the tail unit looks good.

    All in all an improvement on stock if you only take short rides that is. And you can understand where the money is.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    So as long as a bike is modified with the intent of going faster, it's OK with you?

    Pretty clear that your problem with choppers and bobber bikes is you.

    Considering they are the basically equivalent to cutting the springs then putting a big bore exhaust and spinner hubcaps on your mums old CA18S R31, the dislike is understandable if that's not your bag.

    The peeps that do that can (usually) handle the laughter, so why are so many bikers so much more precious if someone else thinks their ride is a piece of shit.....?

    I'm late to the party here, but it's a question for NZTA rather than the seller.

    Also edited for true intent.

    My issue with Choppers n Bobbers is I think they are ugly and are most likely shit to ride. That said I can see the value in the time spent crafting some of these monstrosities, so not all of them are priced optimistic.
    There is a trend I have noticed on FB of boof heads ruining perfectly good jap bikes then asking big money for their junk, so they are the optimistic ones. Sad thing is there is boof heads out there buying them.

    I might chop up the dirt bike I am selling and sell it for millions
