    I would guess that this is fine. Until you have an accident - or get pulled over by an officer who knows anything about bikes - from there it will go downhill fast.

    It always amazes me how many people are out there willing to gamble with their safety - so Im sure some 18yo who is all balls will buy it thinking that they are being really clever.

    You will probably end up reading about them in a "biker down" thread.

    dont think in that case it will matter whether that 18y.o buys a 250 or 600...

    I just love the way that some twats assume that the forces of legal compliance don't know about TradeMe. I imagine that said entrepreneur will be busted by bedtime.

    Particularly as the dumbarse posted his rego plate in the pics.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    it was certified as a 250cc by vtnz
    Who is going to ask for him to post up a copy of the VTNZ certificate?

    But according to his logic, you could register an 18 wheel truck as a moped and thus not need a heavy trade license.

    Ad has been withdrawn by TM admin..... what a surprise.
