FOR SALE: Gorgeous 2004 ZX-10R

[Gremlin]

Update: I'm not selling the bike, hit up AMPS, they now own it.

My Dream bike is up for sale. I still love it to bits... so why am I selling it? Well, I have collected a few too many naughty points within 2 years (just) so its best it isn't sitting around my house, taunting me for 3 months to do something REALLY stupid.

Fitted with the following bits:
- Braided Brake lines all round
- MotovationUSA Fork, Frame, Swingarm Crash Bungs
- Hand made custom Radiator Guard
- Hella CA1225XU H7 Low and High Beam (+50% over normal bulb)
- Super White Park Bulbs (should have a couple of spares kicking around too)
- ZX6 Raidal Master Cylinder
- Fabbri Dark Smoke Racing Screen
- Pipercross a/m Air Filter (comes w/ cleaning spray)
- Screen bolts replaced with Black Bolts
- Gas Tank bolts have also been replaced with black ones
- HyperPro CSC Steering Damper
- Solo Seat Cowl
- Clear Alternatives Smoked Flush Mount Front Indicators
- Clear Alternatives Smoked Integrated Taillight (Indicators are inside the taillight)
- Racefit Growler Pipe with Removable baffle
- PCIII USB
- Scott Oiler
- License Plate Hanger and a/m Plate Light
- Stock Suspension has been professionally rebuilt and set up for 100kg

Also, comes with all the related stock bits that have been pulled off, and:
- Pillion Seat
- Vortex Pipe Hanger
- Stock Hugger (a modified one is fitted to take a taller tyre)
- Exhaust Butterfly has been disabled
- Secondary Throttle butterflies have been removed (they come with bike - if you want to put them back in)

Bike has been on the dyno, comes with 2 custom maps (one for baffle, one without). She made 154 with baffle, 157 without, and the torque curve is heaps better without the baffle. Be warned the sound is addictive sans baffle! Bike has never been crashed/raced/dropped, has been to one track day. Currently fitted with Conti SportAttack tyres, 190/55 on the rear with at least 2-3000km left in them, and they are brilliant.

Professionally serviced roughly every 6000km and chain and sprockets were replaced at the 18k service.

Ouch, looking back, I've done a fair bit to her... Anyway, no tyre kickers wasting my time, serious sale for serious buyers. Test rides will only be allowed with proof of ability to buy etc. Mileage may change, as I may still ride her a little (nasty man removing license hasn't visited just yet). Any questions, ask away

Could you do my 3 months penance for me since you wont have a bike ??

[MidnightMike]

Sounds mean indeed, good luck with the sale Gremlin.

And thanks for the new desktop wallpaper (Pic 1)

It's... perfect...

[Morcs]

exactly how I like them.

Except it doesnt have scrapes on the top of the seat hump.

But I suppose I could customize it...

[Pumba]

Hmmm maybe (sits back and waits for insurance cheque)

Not to hijack your thread but a tip on keeping your license:

IF some of your demerit points are due to expire in the near future you can do the following to keep your license.

Demerit points are only officially tacked on to your record when the fine is paid. You can therefore probably see where this is going... If you deliberately withhold payment of the fine long enough to allow some of your previously accured demerit points to expire, you may then be able to pay the fine and keep your overall demerit points below lose-your-license-levels.

Be prepared to incur overdue penalties and all sorts of nastly letters from the courts. However stay true to the cause and leave it till the last possible minute i.e. when a warrant is about to be issued for your arrest - this however will take some months i.e. up to half a year.

I have not personally exploited this loop hole, though it was revealed to me by an ex-cop recently.

Good luck!!

Demerit points are only officially tacked on to your record when the fine is paid.

Correct, or else when you've used up the two month period before the fine is transferred to the courts for collection. So you can't defer processing for longer than two months.

Doesn't help, though. The points are backdated to the date of the offense, and if they would have taken you over 100 at that point, you're up for a three-month licence holiday.

I know this because I only escaped said holiday by four days grace last year, and spent quite some time on the phone to LTNZ about it during that period.

We've covered the subject before.

Ooh thats a uber sexy bike. Love the growler!

look mate, it ain't worth as little as a gixxer (I heard 2 months was standard for them anyway) and what kind of pitiful difference would 1 month make

Could you do my 3 months penance for me since you wont have a bike ??

urrr gotta sell it first, and besides... "do the crime, do the time" (lalalala ). Damnable laws

Macstar: Yes, I gathered that when they sent me a reminder 1 month after the issued date (and I paid the previous day or something). Howled with laughter when they said delaying payment wasn't worth it. Urrr... $400 fine, $30 for the first month, $100 for the next. A limited license app will be approx $150. Only problem was final "incident" was late jan, and I had to survive until june ish I believe. I cover thousands of k per month in work alone, so it probably wouldn't have worked, but yes, quite possible

edit: ah, the age of experience... jrandom has nailed it... so no... still poked

Cheers mate, costly as slip ons go, but its damn wicked. Found I actually ride a gear higher around town when without the baffle, because it really does attract attention.

Now, I forgot my manners... mention of dyno work should require the results, so they are attached. It really does feel much more free without the baffle, and hoists the front very easily.

I found this out when passing a boy racer off the lights, and I had spent the previous 8-9 days on a blackbird. Needless to say... bloody quick reminder what I was riding... bear in mind I can't wheelie for shit (and have really tried a couple of times)

[Sanx]

You forgot to mention it comes with free juicy chicken strips

[Aero165]

Yeah, Kiwifruit used to have one on his ten. It sounded uber sexy. If only I could fit two to my R1?
