2015 Beemer

$28kthat is ridiculous.

$28k for your ZX14?

[Ocean1]

I saw an R9T up at Wanganui the other day. I see they're $25k, a little less bang for the fewer bucks though...

But I liked it.

$28k for your ZX14?

Sold to the man wants pay almost twice what a bike realistically worth.

The r1200rs is 28k. That's the boxer I would buy if I had money and it was 6k cheaper.

Didn't realise the price release for the RS.

[AllanB]

Yep R nine T is the modern retro looker - 2014 release. WANT.

OP is a new 2015 release.

Didn't realise the price release for the RS.

They are on tardme but haven't confirmed the 28k yet. Its a 2 be advised(listed 28k) but based on the gs1200 and r1200r prices its going to be about 28k if you use the others as a trend as well.

But its the r1200r in the OP pictures with different head design.
Im not sure there is a R-nine-T 2015 release at this stage.

Check this one with chunky tires.
Brooklyn Scrambler Edition.

Double seat. Now I want one.

Gold spec ZX14r has been reduced for summer http://www.kawasaki.co.nz/catalog/st...0FEFB/overview

If you click that link check out the price of the H2.

Then again speaking $ it is all relative to what you like the R nine T is smack on the Grisso price http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...-812252743.htm

A big block HD is $25 - 30K most models.

Shit that's cool.

That's why I think the value of mine even with all good bits would be about 15k.
Not worth me selling it anymore. Might as well run it for another 5 years to get value from it.
Harsh seeing it owes me about 32k but realistic.

I have a retro BMW anyway
The BMW Mossy1000CR

Or he should have told you about the low seat option on those. For all brands of those bikes the seat height does limit their market unlike the dual purpose bikes from the late 70s/80s which were never a problem to get on.

The new liquid cooled R1200GS also has a from-factory low suspension option, so shorties have got a pretty good shot at handling one.

Any price with a 2 at the front is good stuff, the GS Adventure with options ticked struggles to stay much under $40k... On run out they were around $33k I think.

I really like the XR version, but 160hp? No way can I have that much and stay out of trouble On another note, congrats to BMW, they've figured out how to make symmetrical headlights

I don't get that. Why would you make a pretend dirt bike that weighs 250kg? I can't even think of much of a historical link.

Which is a far better option. What HP is it currently?

I can't work out why they haven't made them with adjustable ride-height. A wee actuator in the linkage / forks is hardly expensive or technically difficult. Could organise it to drop 3" if in road mode and below 5kph...

But I likes the wonky headlights, particularly the Rockster's, it's a win for design functionality over anally retentive "fashion".

[Mike.Gayner]

and its called an R nine T why....?
Oh...to cash in on the 70's ...silly me

Oh fuck off honestly. Who gives a shit why it's called what it's called. It's a fucking good bike even if it's cashing in on nostalgia - guess what, that's what people want.

With your shitty attitude, apparent dislike of virtually everything and busy-body approach to over-safety, I often wonder why you are even here. Do you actually care about motorcycling? Or are you just a sad, lonely, pathetic negative-nancy?

[mossy1200]

They were 90hp claimed with stock exhaust etc. That's likely 80hp

So idd say 80hp+ at rear wheel and breathing easy with new exhaust.
Stock they were 260kg and I would say I have pulled 60 or more off it in weight.

Goes very well with lots of torque. Very low first gear and 5 speed is only complaint.
Doesn't need be fast just fun to ride.
