[wrxchic]

hi im the owner of this bike ive got some pics of it damaged if you would like to see them was trying to upload a pic to my profile so everyone can see it if your genuine about buying it send me an email through the auction and ill send them if not check the profile later and ill try to upload thanks

[wrxchic]

ive uploaded a pic to my profile for everyone to look at still cant see the major damage that people are going on about or maybe they were the bidders that i out bid on this , who would ever know, but hay each to their own its their right to comment but get the facts first pics show it all

[imdying]

I have pictures of it I can email to you for your interest, as I say I'd want to know myself.

Your pics much the same? Doesn't look too bad in the pic the owner has posted.. sure it's the same bike? Post em up so people can be sure of that at least... I gotta say, from all the fuss, I was expecting a whole heap more of a wreck than that.

Hey WRXCHICK... your full stop and Capitals buttons aren't working.... Welcome to KB!!

hi to all i have the recept from turners to prove this bike is the same one, i put the pic in my profile so people are not put off it. As you can see there was only minor NOT major damage as most say ,anyone is welcome to view but please go through trademe to contact me .The bike was measured by Dave Bunn who contracts works for DR Panelbeaters in chch and if there was damage to frame which there was not,then it would say so on the cert report which buyers can look at. Im only saying this as there seams to some confusion as what other members have said but if you get the facts first then you would know the damaged condition. Will be updating pic this weekend as i have the suzuki sticker for it now ,but it must sell due to moving and bussiness work

Thanks monkeyboy. I have been a victim of "dishonesty" when purchasing a bike and it sux big time! I wish everyone would be straight up when selling. Though I have to agree that the bike is probably worth the asking price, I also reckon that if he was honest about the accident that he would still be able to sell it at that price too.

What about the engine case which was worn through dumping all the oil on the road? The stain is still there on the road. Did you see the size of the hole it dug in the bank before it bounced back out into the road and slid along on its side? Scary. How hard an impact did the frame actually take? What stresses were applied to it? Who knows but it hit damned hard.

Bikes that have been severely crashed can have a multitude of hidden defects kike hairline cracks in it's main structure, twists and tweaks to the geometry and perhaps a few chipped bearing races. Buyer beware.

Well thats true but then similar things can happen to bikes that are wheelied or jumped over gutters as well not to mention bikes than never get their oil changed etc. Its a case of buyer beware and doing your own research.

Buying something? You can't trust anyone (except me of course - ole' honest Paul)

[wrxchic]

well thanks for all the comments it all comes down to the buyer as its been repaired now and runs fine there was enough oil in the motor to make the oil light go out so cant be too bad then. so i would prefere no more nit picking and genuine interested parties to contact me good to know the history but already knew most of it thanks ,cant have hit it that hard as there was only the two fearings repaired and other parts that ive said pic in profile show the bike as damaged cond so please ph me if you have any comments rather than filling up pages of the same comments

[Paul in NZ]

Well good luck with the sale! Looks a nice bike now and good onya for fronting up about it eh!

However this thread will weave on, people will comment, nit pick and generally trash talk because it's the internet and KB and, thats what happens here! (sorry)

Cheers

WRXCHIC I see that either you or a friend of yours called "starletboy1" wanted to try on some leathers I had for sale on Trademe. Clearly in an attempt to get hold of me obviously, because I have told members on this site about the history of the bike you are trying to sell.

It wasn't hard to work out. The photo on starletboy1's Trademe profile was taken on the same driveway that the GSXR750's photo's were taken on, you can even see your neighbours house in the background in both photos. Also, "starletboy1" is advertising that he wants to buy a tail taidy for a GSXR750. Needless to say I have withdrawn my listing for the leathers. And a subsequent complaint has been made to Trademe for your information. Your attempt to either speak to or visit me is borderline harassment/intimidation, since I have both of your phone numbers I'm sure the boys in blue could find you should you say or do anything you might regret.

I have no problems with a crashed bike that has been repaired. I bought such a bike (CBX550F2 Integra) about 20 years ago, thing was I knew it had been crashed and the extent of the crash. You have obviously done a good job on the GSXR It looks as good as the day I last saw it (before the crash that is) I just think people should know a vehicles history.

All due respect but... its just that to me you seem to be on your own personal crusade. They have done nothing to you and you were not ever going to buy it. I respect that you thought you were doing the right thing but this person has now attempted to do the right thing. I thing that you should just let it rest.
