    Suzy's for sale, too many bikes she has to go

    The BIKEOI bike, Suzy, needs a loving home folks

    She featured on several news items prior to the BIKEOI, she has a custom red paint job, and some minor fairing scrapes from a low speed off in the driveway (yes I did it, not some mythical previous owner, it was me)
    At this point she is on park, and wof expired 1.5 months ago

    Taking for new WOF on Saturday (should pass) will need new front tyre in about 2k tho and rear shock will need a re-build at some time but still funtioning fine for one up, touch of over re-bound 2up but shit shes still an awesome ride
    She has two brothers racing exhausts, and I have a rebuild kit waiting for the carbie's to be done, needles seals the whole rebuild kit will go with the bike

    One indicator lens sealed with tape but non broken, so should fly through WOF if front tyre passes (gonna be tight!)

    Will accept 3k un- wof'd as she is right this second, or 3.5 with new WOF on it, but will not add more rego, theres 3 weeks on park left on it, and unwilling to put on more, so AS IS sale either way folks thank you very much

    I love this bike but cant justify keeping 3 big bores in the carport...sigh
    Many KBers in the welly region who know TSS and the stock they had know this bike

    Oh and I will NOT sell you this machine if you aint experienced enough to handle her....bottom line, no one getting off a 400cc to 'step up' is gonna get her, she will kill you!

    Anyone with a reasonable amount of experience riding will be able to handle it even if they're on a 250.

    Most people when they get their full go straight to a 600 which won't be any slower.

    I agree with this, it's pretty condescending of you to assume that anyone stepping off a "400" will have a death wish.

    Oh, Stoney, I can't believe you're selling Suzy. You'll be left with the ugly and slow bike

    Dude your so far off the mark its sick, this bike has a rated output of 148 HP....and delivers it with a massive punch
    Only a brand new r6 or gsxr6 etc could even think of keeping up in a dead straight drag race with Suzy

    This machine will cause white out from acceleration, its so much gruntier than any 600 I have ever ridden and I have ridden many. Granted a modern supr sport might beat it on a track or on the taka's on its handling, but no chance in a straight line, none at fuckin all

    My SuperDUKE will out accelerate it to 160 but cant beat it for top end either, 280kmh Suzy is capable of, so anyone getting off a 250 onto this would not last long, and thats all I have to say
    Just ride.

    I never said they 'had a deathwish' dude dont put word in my page I didnt write.
    I said the BIKE WOULD KILL THEM and yep, it bloody well would

    I have ridden liter plus bikes for over 25 years, and Suzy is fuckin grunty by anyones standards.
    Just ride.
