Apparently the motors are worth a lot of money. Well he says that in the comments!

Wallace knows his way around an engine, but that doesn't mean he laid a spanner on it or tuned it using money. Std wheels, non runner. Fuck off.
Ohh, ohh. He should have said Suzuki Factory Engine.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

Looking at the asking price, I'd reckon Wallace has done the engine - and the figure is what the collection owes the seller.
But as with any of these projects, you never get back what you've spent....

"Need to move this on, I bought with the intention to build up but have lost the motivation"
Which I think is code for "I underestimated how much it would cost to restore and I've already spent a bunch of money on it (blowing all my budget on fairings) and now expect the new buyer to pay full price for everything so I can recoup 110% of my costs."

Aint that the truth. What you lose in $$$ you get back in smiles though. Assuming you get it running of course.

Lol that's my mates bike.
Engine build from Wallace is worth a few thousand afaik and he builds a bloody good motor (got one in mine). But as is often the case you don't get out what you put in, he'd be better selling it as parts if that's the case.

Well, tell him to be more specific about what's been done to the motor - to justify the asking price.

Exactly. I'm not 100% sure what Wallace does to the engines myself, all I know is they go bloody well and seem to not blow up as much as some others do.

Trolling through the TM this morning waiting on my coffee to cool I search Bonniville as I'd just spied a tasty custom one the web (big bucks spent).
Prices are starting to lower, interestingly the new current models are on special around the country - $2-3k off, older ones dropping as well. Maybe NZ has reached Bonnie saturation?
There are of course the usual dreamers - asking big money for their 60,000k bike when a keyboard search pulls half a dozen of the same model for the same value but wearing a tenth of the kms.
There was a tidy sorted looking VW trike for $13k if that's your thing. The only thing I did not like was the GS1000 front end - pretty sure that could be updated!

I mean, these little beasts are a real hoot in a paddock.. But not THAT much of a hoot!

I really like the luggage rack on that tuk tuk. Traditionally I thought they had roofs though?
