1988 FZR400 For Sale - Make an offer!

Helen... are you going to try and get a new bike? I wanna see you ride to Castlepoint at some stage. I'm so sorry your crap of a bike isnt working, and I can see why you just want to sell it... sick of it right?

[imdying]

I understand about just wanting to ride... damn time being finite and all. If you're lusting over an SV1000, make sure you ride a GSXR750 of a similar price... so totally totally different bikes, some people bend the twin way, others the four, make sure you're as sure as you can be before you buy

Yep, more than sick of it mate! I may or may not have another bike lined up...

Well like Trudes said, anyone who can help you out so you can get back to riding would be awesome!!!! Hope to see you soon Hels!

Come on fulla's help me out here. At least make some false bids on Tardme to bump the price up!!!! (p/t)

Man I thought I might be bikeless for a couple of years but at the moment its looking like at least 5!! Also, as most unlikely that this is, if anyone wants to maybe swap any bike, i mean ANY bike for mine plus a small amount of cash then let me know!!

You gotta give a little something to give us at least some sort of faith in the product. Currently $200 is all it sounds like it's worth (to me), given that the motor might potentially have a cracked head, or worse.

- cost a small fortune on this bike over the last 5-6 months to get running
- would be a good parts bike
- a great "do-a-upper"
- cylinders 1 and 4 arent working at all
- most likely has electrical problems as well
- brand new O ring chain (520),
- newish sprockets
- tyres on it are pretty good
- kind of OK cosmetically
- fair bit of rust appearing on the frame (aren't they alloy framed??)
- fly wheel cover was covered in knead-it when I bought the bike
- obvious signs of "straightening".
- no WoF but has Rego.

So how about some pics? One of these sads sacks you've been on a ride with might have some pics from it's glory days, even those would be a start (although pics of the current condition are obviously preferable). Hard to appraise the value of something you can't see, and expecting the worse given your (honest sounding ) appraisal). Keen to see more though, pm me if you like.

Ah, who am I kiddiing, you're probably right.

I've got a mate who started to build a really really nice FZR400, did all of the bodywork and chassis prep himself. Fell on hard times and the project was never completed... he still has some bits and pieces. He's doing a little better these days, and hasn't ridden a bike in years, would be nice if he could restore it. He hasn't got a lot of money, but is excellent at building things and working with his hands... sounds like the perfect candidate for a bike like this (given that he's in no great hurry to ride). I'm reluctant to steer him towards something we really have no idea about the condition of, thus without seeing some pics, so really our appraisal has to be pretty low.

Auction is closing today. Thanks to a certain KBer the bids are at $650, yay! That's enough to cover the bill from the bike shop + beer money so im stoked!

If anyone knows anyone thats after (female) riding gear, I have a Codura Jacket and pants, im a pretty average size (about size 10). I have dri-rider boots and a pair of gloves that are still in OK condition. Im willing to sell these at a very low price as they are no longer needed. I also have an HJC (CS10?) helmet but thats in pretty average condition....

I can't access KB, except from a internerd cafe so email me helen.pasc@gmail.com

Just been reading the original thread from when you brought it around 7 months ago. Whats with selling your helmet and stuff ? I'll have a bid on this bike as I think its worth far more than whats been bidded so far. Bike shops are a very expensive way to go and the problem may not be as bad as it actually sounds. The bike was running fine from what I saw on the day it started playing up on your trip home.

I will miss you if your not coming on any more rides Helen. Don't sell your helmet and gear as you won't get much and may need them one day. Believe it or not the bike I ride the most on the road at the moment is my old scooter as its so cheap and convenient.

Now lets bid this bike up to a respectable price.

Garry, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You made my day mate!
Thanks also to Paul in NZ, you're a top bloke too!


As for my gear I have practically sold it to a work mate. I have been off a bike since Easter Friday and ive had a mate killed on a bike since.... Since I can no longer afford to ride I have decided that I will probably not be coming back to it any time soon, if at all.


Thanks to all you KBers who were there for me when I needed ya and to those that are still there today. As I have no family you guys have meant the world to me and I thank you all for being awesome mates. Im sure i'll see ya'll round some time. Ride safe everyone, keep it rubberside down!
