Still a whinging, whining, pathetic, wimpy (admittedly he did ride with a broken hand) sack. Good to see he is finally riding a more sensible bike though.

Hi DR guys
I am thinking of putting the bike on trademe this weekend. What do you think am I being realistic? This is the ad so far.
------------------------------------------
2006 DR650 Motard/Adventure
30000kms approx
WOF till July 2010
Rego till Jan 2010
This bike comes with 2 wheel set ups, Motard and Adventure.$6,900 the lot.
Adventure Bike with 3 sets of tyres. Full Knobs, Gravel tyres, Road tyres to suit the standard wheels.
Motard Bike with Slicks and also Road tyres(Dunlop GPR-a's)or 2 sets GPR-a if you dont want slicks.
All tyres in various states of wear.
Dynojet kit plus the original standard needle and jet.
Speedo shows 16,000km but probably has 10,000 more than that.
Never actually thrashed as these engines drop spark at 7,800 rpm.
Never been through rivers or sucked up much dust as has only done one adventure ride.
Has minor paint chips, a few scuffs on the plastics and a bent oil cooler that still works fine.
Both sets of wheels are fitted with disks and sprockets so it takes about 25 minutes to change from Adventure to motard wheels.
Comes with original handguards, service manual, spare levers, dynojet boxed jets, 2 gearing options. 14/43(fitted) and 15/43(original)
No objections to you getting a professional mechanical check. (Check at your cost, I will deliver to any shop in Dunedin).
Yes this bike has been raced but due to low revving understressed motor is not likely to be any more worn than any Adventure bike.
Will sell the bike seperately as standard Adventure bike for $5,700 and the Motard wheels for $1300 or whatever depending on the
tyres/wheels combo you want.
Please don't ask for just the wheels until the bike is sold as I know how much in demand these wheels are.

Reason for sale - not doing the Adventure riding I expected but heaps more racing than expected. Will consider swaps/trades for competition
bike preferably a motard.

Hi Gaz-if you get to the point of breaking up the set i could really do with some sticky road rubber for MY motard rims at a good price?

Cool. Will let you know but I am still going to be racing myself. Depends on what I get next and what the buyer wants. If it doesn't sell no big deal as I just have so much fun on this bike. I will be at the Burt Munroe for Teretonga and Wyndham either on the DR or something else.

Pity about the whingy rider though. Just about finished reading the Mondo Enduro book, made those two look a bit like big girl's blouses in comparison. Recommend it as a great adventure read, will look for the DVD now.
