Wanted: Tidy Yamaha FZ1

[Skinny_Birdman]

I'm after an FZ1 or similar (i.e. long bars, bikini faired sports bike)to replace my Blackbird. Budget dictates probably a 2001-2005 model. Must be sub 20000km, tidiness and luggage an advantage. Would prefer to buy in the South Island, so I can test ride it first, but anything reasonable considered.

i have a rough (cosmetically) cheap one that has just had $2000 making the engine mint. Needs a good paint job is all.

Prolly not interested in one that needs cosmetic work... Or one that has a worked engine. Ta anyway though, and at that price I'm sure it will find a home.

engine is standard (just fixed up) - pipe is Yamaha Performance
price is also flexible - as i want to cut a track overseas......

There's been a blue one on trademe for over a year I think. I know this because it was there last November when I bought my SV, at least I think thats when I bought it.

At the price he wants im not surprise. Infact i was really amazed with how good the FZ/Bandits/RF900's hold value.......
I really should list my bike on trademe........but i just can't let go yet......

Theres an 05' in Auckland for $11,500...12,500kms.
Theres an 01 in Cantabury but the K's are up there....42,000

And for something a little different.
What about an 2000 XJR1300?.....$8,300......17,000KMS?
Or an 04' GSX1400 $10,300........7,247kms?
An 01' ZRX1200R...$9000........11,000kms?....great buying? (aye scouse?)

[Skinny_Birdman]

Ta for the suggestions. The XJR certainly warrants thinking about....
The FZ in Ashvegas is out of the question, as the kms are WAY too high. Do we think that the Akl one at $11500 represents a reasonable deal?

[avgas]

if it doesn't sell at this price.....i'll bloody keep it as a collectors item for when i turn 70
