The Blade's on TradeMe

[Sanx]

My 2007 Fireblade, or what's left of it, is up on TradeMe was one of Star's $1 reserve auctions:
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...-145571143.htm

Bidding's up to $3620 so far, which would be a bargain for a 1000cc race bike.

so its not bent then? should get a light vehicle cert then?
and you have some spare bits for this?

[HungusMaximist]

What did you do to it man? ? ?

Also, let me know have any spare parts that will fit my 929 that would you like to let go.

[Tony.OK]

Hey Sanx do ya know if they dereg'd it?
I've got a full 06 set of all black fairings,could be some easy $$ made on both combined................crashed...no no,sum 07 models have 06 colours

[Qkchk:Me]

Does it worry you that they have listed it as a 'Dual Purpose' - is there a story we havent been told.............

Hmmmm it fell off! Did bike transporter do the job for ya?

[Sanx]

I didn't do anything to it. My father, on the other hand, decided to have a small lie-down during a track day at Pukekohe. the bike hasn't been properly assessed, but this is what I reckon is wrong with it:

• Every fairing panel apart from the belly pan wrecked.
• Screen wrecked
• LH handle bar bent
• LH switch gear broken
• Clutch master cylinder broken
• Front fairing bracket broken
• LH pillion peg broken
• RH rearset bent and peg broken
• Indicators broken on both sides
• Rear subframe bent (but not tweaked - I reckon it should straighten OK)
• Battery cage broken (!)
• Swingarm scuffed but not bent (as far as I can tell)
• LH axle block bent
• Pillion seat scuffed
• ClearAlternatives tail light has had mounting lug snapped off

On the plus side:

• Both headlight units seemingly intact
• Instrument panel seemingly intact and working

Once the rear subframe's straightened, it should get a cert just fine. Or, just turn it into a race bike. I do have a very nice set of Lightech rearsets, plus a few small OEM things like the mirrors, gas cap, screen, exhaust, tail light, rear indicators and tail spade unit.

If I knew I was going to be staying in NZ, then I'd be tempted myself.

Wow - didn't realise the stone kicked up from Boomer's back wheel was going so fast!

[nodrog:Me]

[FROSTY:Me]

Its in the dual purpose section due to its DEMONSTRATED ability to ride off road --"tui Moment"

[Sanx]
