Awwwwww the Lady in Red is up for sale.... (not the rider)

I was there the day that she was brought..... such a beauty.

Pyrocam, I hope who ever buys her looks after her like you did....

PS: Do I get to name your next bike like I did this one.......

Thats a minter and the bike is half bad too. Maybe a few more pictures with the 'rider' would help...

And we all know it is, but that's what it's worth in the NZ market. You can get a pretty tidy 600 that's less than ten years old for the same money... but that CBR's better than the ones the dealers sell on trademe for $6495. Good luck with the sale Cam.

Is it nuts if someone buys it?

yes i have but mr newbie biker buys it has a little spill and its worth half if that, personally i would rather risk getting caught riding a bigger better cheaper bike if i was in that situation, lets face it you would be better to buy a gn or something cheap and see the time out and then buy a decent bikeand still have money left over

But it's obviously not you buying, and potential buyers might not have your priorities, so I's say leave this thread for questions about the bike.

I must say though, including the bike model would make the deal much sweeter...

Worth a bump anyway...

I'm not really interested in buying it but... how much did the paint set you back?

it was paid for by insurance, I had a little mishap with the back of a car but insurance replaced everything damaged.

off the top of my head it was around the 2.5k mark but i would have to check the assessors report to confirm

call reflections in Glenfield and ask them.
