Give it a good thrashing with a stick to make sure there's no spiders, snakes or Orstrylyans hiding in it?
Marinade it with a good Kiwi beer/wine?

Hard to say, really.


Errr.... I haven't a clue what an effing efe is...:disapint:

[NordieBoy]

I'd go with the marinade personally.

[Teflon]

Is the 'efe' model the power screen one?, or was that just the F model?, can't remember.

[Wellyman]

Betti. You have to explain a bit more some of the bikes are a bit before my time. but I should know because i work at a motorcycle wrecker!

[Skunk]

You could try Dave who brings bikes over for holidaying aussies. If you strike it lucky he may have a container coming over in the near future.

Think Dave used to have one when he lived in en-zed. Tell him David sez he's a goat molester.

Other than that you will have to search sites about importing vehicles, LTSA probably have a link. If you are just after parts would be better to import it that way rather than a whole going bike.

And how young are the rest of youse guys? The efe was the archetypal Suzuki superbike of the era. A million kilos with a thousand horsepower all resting on the grace of a tiny 16” front wheel.

Hiscock & Holden won the 6 hour on one I believe while the GPZ900s were puking their coolant.

Glad I'm not totally losin it and there is somebody over here who remembers the monster gsx!!
