lmfao - why would anyone bother going to the trouble of fitting some worn out tyres - no wonder with 7 hours togo its still on a $1 - not even poor buggers willing to bid lolllololl

[dino3310]

i'd get em if i could pick up, still a couple of thousand K left in em, its tires and deals like that thats kept me riding the last year

[tri boy]

I'm with you dino.
Bargain hunting is the new skill set required by many.
Those with alot of disposalble cash could see it quickly dissapear over the next year or two. Mind you, if they ride old two strokes, then they are pretty desperate already

1000km on tyres that'll do 5-10,000km isn't exactly "worn out".

I bet there's still a couple of bikes between that seller and Padmei!

go get em bro... the BRP would eat rear tires faster than most bikes

[dino3310]

[cooneyr]

Not sure this fits into the poor category given the price but y'all seen this old XR thumper.

[Crim]

Just looked at that auction Ryan and this jumped out at me

Not desperate, thinking of a change thus neg at or over this price

he is asking 5k so how do you negotiate over that?

................"look I know you are asking $5,000 but I really want to pay $5,500 for it?".........

Yip, picked them up last night, looking at them I would estimate that they have done only about 500km's on tarmac...nil dirt in tread so a tyre set for $51..bargain
Struan (KBer) wasn't too happy as I outbid him, but have offered him a near new rear for his freewind as a peace offering that I had left over from my Dakar days.

Struan (KBer) wasn't too happy as I outbid him,

Word on the street is that he is so pissed off he is organising a knife fight for you and him down a dark alley somewhere, best of luck with that mate, you may need it, 4 other KBers have pissed him off in the past, oddly enough no one has seen or heard of them in a long long time

Time is money ! You too busy wasting it whinging about the economy.
Make some more money its that simple - simple.


650HP per ton could have something to do with it, why would anyone bother owning a 95 piece of british junk ? Registration worth more than your boat anchor

i'd love to have that piece of british junk in my garage , i could park it next to the 73 bonnie i havent got yet

Fook I love my 650R. At the start of the year it did the DB1K, a few weeks ago i rode it to a rally, a couple of weeks ago i did motorcycling canty enduro meeting at Ruapuna and was the first motard home and in the top ten in the mixed motard, clubbies, calassic class. During the week i scored a cheap set of knobblies off torpedo 7 and spent today out he river with my kids. Its does nothing well but with the option of the 17's there is nothing it wont do!!!!!
