    Head up and keep yer eyes peeled. Genie and peasea are both right, the bike for you will be better than this one ever was.
    You and me both mate! That really is not on! Report to Tardme in the first instance, then name and shame on here.

    Man, that really is not on, but you have to weigh up the energy you need to expend getting this bloke back against moving on to finding something that will fit you like a glove, because for sure this bike was not for you.

    I have to agree with Genie on this one, coz unfortunately/fortunately it happened to me. Price agreed on, pick up arranged etc then he calls me the day of the pick up to tell me hes just sold it to someone else, WTF??!

    That was an 02 ZX6, I ended up with an 04 R6 instead

    That's pretty shithouse mate, I feel ya pain. Just a few days ago I drove to Auckland to trade my 3 series BMW coupe with an E39 525 sedan (misses is preggy so need a 4 door), suss out all the details oh each others car, I (pay) to do a check on carjam to make sure not stolen & clear title etc. Told him to be straight up about the cars faults as im driving a long way & ill see them when I arrive anyway so better to tell me prior as I just won't do the deal, he said he told me everything he knew about it. I arrive, take it for a spin down the southern motorway & the farking gearbox is quite obviously rooted, shudders like buggery in top when you step on the gas, making a terrible noise & has a pretty big ding on the right rear quarter that was never mentioned, just said a few shopping trolley dents. I get back to his work & question him about the gearbox, all he says was "oh sorry, I didn't know". Pfffff you didn't, the prick was driving from Henderson to the city everyday in it for the 3 weeks he owned it! There sure is some arkin wankers out there mate. Wasn't all lost as I lined up the clown (a computer store) who sold me a laptop with an illegal copy of Windows 7 Ultimate on it & went to two of my fav restaurants before driving home

    In NZ you can say what you will......if it is not in writing and signed it didn't happen....

    Funny you should say that quasi do you want his home address? The guy is a lier, the guy that owns the workshop that you went to is the owner of the bike unfortunitly he just lied to you, trust me from first hand knowledge he is a cock and you are better off without it it was fucked. Three bikes into one to make it go.

    i had the same thing happen to me a few years back, i bought a little old fiat, was living in wellington at the time so bought flights to akl,
    turned up in akl and the guy refused to tell me his address to pick up the car, so i had to buy another car to get back to wellington
    (thankfully it turned out to be a blessing in disguise) but then to top it off the fucker gave me bad feed back on trademe as well,
    fun times

    Gah, i hear the hate you're throwing around. Conversely though, i've had buyers pull out of purchases which sluts me something rotten as i've told others that it was sold and wouldn't be taking any more offers.

    Shameless plug: You don't want my Hornet 250 do you?
