CB900 Hornet on tardme

[Gremlin]

While the paper may state that, I have another bike which has 115, and feels a whole lot more powerful.

The hornet has very smooth power delivery and doesn't rev up quickly. It makes it a torquey friendly bike to ride.

bloody hell, you're making me regret selling it now!

Sorry to see that the bike didn't sell on Trademe...if you are still interested in selling could I arrange to come have a look and a ride this coming weekend...?

Cheers.

You won't regret it Jerms

Absolutely. I am going to offer it to the 63 (!) gawkers as well then re-list it.

I think people thought it was too cheap ergo there was something wrong with it. Plus being honest about dropping it maybe didnt help. Curse of the "too-honest" trader.

Having said that, I deal with people the way I'd like to be dealt with.

Also, IMO the spiel about swapping shocks and forks and binning at a trackday makes it sound like it's been ridden HARD The only thing really putting me off is the fact you are CHCH otherwise I would have been round in a jiffy to check it out!

It has been ridden hard, occasionally. But mostly its been ridden by a sedate, respectable MAWG* on the road. Ah well. I should have just lied like most other people on tardme. The only other evidence of any hard riding is the lack of hero blobs on the footpegs, and that only because the pegs are so low, and the tyres so good!

Ah well. Crushing debt is good for the soul.

No, don't do that...if I like it, I still want a bargain...

I definitely appreciate the honesty...so many trademe dealers are all too quick to pull a swifty. I was impressed with your list of bad points especially the stone chips...I mean if someone is happy enuff to point out minor issues, surely they'd point out the major ones...wouldn't they!?

If I'd seen the offer a bit earlier I would have got my a into g, organised a ride and would probably have snaffled it up this time. Just me being too cautious and not wanting to buy without a test ride...

Just buy it. They are extra spiffy in black too!

Honda list 108hp in the brochure in stock trim - free flowing pipes will gain a few extra as the stockers are very restrictive (read bloody quiet).


I noticed a flat black Scrambler outside Pit Lane today - complete with matching sidechair! looked a nice kit and very retro.

My Scrambler is that colour. They want $14500 for that whole rig. I didnt win powerball and only have paid for less than half my Scrambler so far but when I do win it big, I'm having that as well
