    Hi Jon. Could be interested. Seems like a silly question, but will this bike be in New Zealand at the time? I see your location is quite some distance from NZ. What year is it, what sort of price are you after... and am I right in guessing it to be the 750 and not the 800? Cheers!

    Edit: Just followed your link and noted that it's a 1996 VFR750. Interested in what sort of ballpark price you might want for her... please send me a pm. Cheers!

    The bike is now in a garage in Auckland, and will be back in that garage after my trip. Ballpark price is $5,000 NZ.

    Nice bike. Is it registered for NZ use or on temporary entry arrangements?
    Cheers

    If you follow the link, he has bought it in Auckland, and is coming for a trip to ride it around the country. At the completion of the ride, he will be selling it in NZ.

    Bike is now officially for sale. Several people I met during the Southern Cross expressed interest, but I didn't write down all the names and email addresses...

    It worked perfectly for my Southern Cross journey. Did 6,602.9 flawless km on it. Had to replace some wearable parts (see below) but otherwise was perfection.

    See it during the Southern Cross here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonbaue...7600007772793/

    In any case, the first $5,000 NZ will take it. Here's the stuff it comes with:

    UK Spec 1996 Honda VFR 750
    * 52k miles (not km)
    * Fairly new tires - Michelin Pilot Road. Replaced in Alexandra on April 30th (http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonbauer/479629383/)
    * New RK chain and sprockets. Replaced in Christchurch on May 1st (http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonbauer/482643585/)
    * Steel braided front and rear brake lines
    * Big lockable Givi hard bag (with 2 keys)
    * An after market service manual
    * Rear seat cowl

    - Thanx
    - Jon

    Lucky bastard. Well done Swoop
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Cheers all!
    Did the deal today, so I am now the owner of TWO VFR's! (bloody kiwibiker....) although one is still in the shop since February...
    Anyone want a project bike??? Strangely, the manual with the 750 could provide some leads to fixing the 700... Here's hoping!

    I'll post up some piccies when the clean and polish is all done. Jon, I believe you missed a couple of spots when you hosed her down
