    Prev owned by 2 Kiwibiker members, last owner used as mainly track bike that I've tidied up. I've owned for just over 10000km.

    Race tech cartridge emulators on front forks and seals done 1 year ago with new steering head bearings, and carbs ultrasonic cleaned, all rubber seals replaced, jetted and balanced.
    1/2 year old battery, alternator re done around 2 years ago along with new rr and alternator connector plugs.
    Braided lines on the front and brake fluid changed and bled 1 month ago.
    New rear Dunlop alpha 12 around 6 months ago done 2 track days and commuting.
    Oil changed every 5k and filter every 10k. As well as before track days.

    Definitely won't come with the back rack or lifeproof phone mount in photos.

    Yamamoto half system and rs250 ohlins sorted rear shock negotiable.
    Oem front fairings on it a bit battered (cost me a pretty penny to get them as is from japan with plans to use mounts on a Chinese set), comes with a full front fairing from just fairings painted to match the tank.
    Has bolts in for frame sliders that will come with (never been 'tested')

    Offers? Based in Auckland. Has wof and Rego til end of feb. Not in a hurry but keen on my next project (wife says not allowed any more projects till one of my 3 bikes goes!)
    Putting this up via iphone sorry so much not be in the best format.

    Do you know if that RS250 shock has been re-sprung for the NC30?

    Yes it has. I was told Robert Taylor did it and set it up, I assume that's where the ohlins spring came from as they aren't stock on the rs250 shock

    Gsxr

    Saw your post on facebook mentioned you were maybe after a swap for another project. figured id give it a crack, 1990 GSXR1100? 31,500kms warrant til may rego is out in 3 days so ill put it on hold. Has been in NZ for 5 years and appears to have been in storage most of that time. when i got the bike alot of the rubber had perished and had to be replaced, ive done the fork seals, alternator seals, rear brake pads and a new rear tyre (recipts for all). was told my previous owner carbs have been rebuilt but have no proof. Bike is a great runner starts easily, clutch and gearbox feels good to me. all it needs is some cosmetic tlc i can put up pictures if you are interested but i do have a video of a cold start i recorded for someone who was interested in it. SORRY FOR THE LONG ASS POST.

    There's a first time for everything. Bikes only go as fast as you twist your wrist.

    True, but some go faster with less twist required. CBR600F was about the end of my comfort zone last time I tried :-). 100HP was prenty to make me nervous cornering on crappy west auckland roads.

    Bumpitty bump :-) still here, going on trademe tonight.

    so no to the 1100? :P keep in mild it has extremely long legs (does speedo 240kmh in 3rd gear) so is quite a mild bike until about 7000rpm.
