Need new bike. What ya got??

[MrMelon]

I'm in the same situation. Need to find a 600-750 sports bike for about $5k Just something that'll be fun for the twisties, but won't mind long trips every now and then.

You had a look at what Mike has at Mt Eden M/C ?

Said bikeshop might be where i am getting my ne wheels

Okay, here's one to put the cat amongst the pigeons:

I have been approached by my mate Steve again, asking if I can put his mate Terry's bike up for sale on KB.

Here's the details:

1993 GSXR1100
reg and wof on hold
pristine condition
60,000kms
runs like a dream

OFFERS
phone terry on 2336409

Shocking pic I know, but give Terry a call and see what he wants for it. I've been told $5000 will get him interested.

Nice but unfortunatley i weigh like 61kg so that would be a little to big a bike for me. ould probably break an arm trying to wip it around the twisties

ZX-636R?

[aff-man]

only in my dreams mate. Although if i won like $50000+ i might be very very very very very very tempted. Stood staring at one for like 40 mins yesterday

Sorry Aff-Man, all the VFR400's in NZ are in my workshop :P Or at least if they arnt i plan on them being!
Wicked little bikes though aff-man, no need for replacing camchains with gear driven cams!.. Yeah they are pretty overpriced... You wanna contact Gary @ GPTRADING mate, http://www.gptrading.co.nz/images/bi...400%20NC30.jpg that is a pic of the mint, stock VFR400 NC30 he has, i was going to buy it off him but ran into another one actually... give him an email and tell 'em i sentcha, he races an nc30/35 and is fully into em too - nice guy.

So you are saying you don't want a bike that weighs more than 2.5 times what you do...

Jeez, if I used that rule I'd need a full dresser touring Harley

[aff-man]

Haahahahahahah no i mean i want something that i can wip around corners etc. Not that good that i can wip a mighty 750 beast

[Coldkiwi]

FYI potential ideas for affman:

He needs a bike that is pretty sharp cause he's a bit of a nutter in the corners.
A switchbladesque gixxer 600 would suit him just nicely I reckon but is a little out of that price range.
Similarly minded bikes should apply tho!

[aff-man]

corners corners corners hehehehehehehehe (physcotic laugh). Yip CK has hit the nail on the head.
