Also listed on Trademe. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=134027947
Unsure how many pics I can upload here. Plenty of pics on the TM listing. I'm happy to email more.

I was the 3rd owner since new. The last 10 000kms that I have put on it have been trouble free.

* Bike has had all logbook services, except for the 18 000km service.

The 12 000kms service was not cheap. Valve clearances due at 24 000kms. (Receipts for services happily supplied)

* WOF until 11/01/09.
* Registration valid until 12/07/08.

* Oggy Knobs crash posts fitted.
* Pillion gripper seat cover - stops your pillion sliding forward quite a bit.
* Paint protectors on tank.

* Tyres will need replacing within the next 1000-2000kms. The rear has plenty of tread on the edges but the centre of the tread is quite worn...my Nana riding and too many pillion miles maybe

These tyres passed the WOF yesterday but they won't pass the next one. It's a good opportunity for the next owner to shod it with rubber of their choosing.

* Paintwork has the usual stonechips that you'd expect. When you treat a bike as I have you get to know every minor chip that happens. I have washed this bike after every long ride - the bugs have not eaten away at paintwork and likewise the rims have not been damaged by brake dust.

The photos show a couple of more noticeable issues:
- rub mark on rear cowling from where a pillion's backpack rubbed during a trip,
- 2 areas of scratched metal from where the bike touched down after being pushed over (clutch cover and silencer/pipe)
- small 5mm x 5mm rub mark on the cylinder head cover from where the fuel tank rubbed on it after the dealer put it back on incorrectly following a service.

I will check whether I can have the rear cowling rub marks tidied up by a local paint and panel shop once they re-open following New Year. If I can get them to put another layer of clear coat over the panel or similar for less than $100 I'll have this done.

Owner's manual (book) also supplied with a CD-ROM copy of the full Workshop Manual (10Mb, 491 pages).

Deeply tempted to sell the Katana and have both iterations of my favourite Kawasaki.

Someone hurry up and buy it before I do something unforgivable.

Cos we're out of NZ in 3 1/2 weeks and I'm quoted $1300 to get it to Australia and it gives me a sore arse after 90 minutes and I want a V-Strom...that's about all really. I like the colour though.

You wanna buy it?

Gaaah.

Renegade master - Practically the same HP, less torque (not that you'd notice), and it doesn't look like it was designed by an 8 year old from the 1950s with a Buck Rogers fetish.
