    But as you point out, I suspect you are right in some ways and no one seems willing to pay for something like this which makes me think it is not appreciated as quite a few comments passed already indicate. Perhaps NZ is not ready for something a little bit different and special and there aren't many people like me around....Oh well, so be it!!
    This might be why you have so few friends.lol.

    he said its similar to a gpz, either the gpz bikes he knows are bloody fast, or his r1 is running on 2 cylinders.

    While I am happily tweaking and adjusting and modding my Hornet I am realistic about the added value of any modifications I do. The cost is never represented when you come to sell it.

    In fact there are very few modifications that add extra appeal to a used bike over one of the same year, kms etc that is stock standard - usually that is a after market pipe (the most common extra). Fancy suspenders would be another value added extra. By value added it is not going to add much to the sale price but most likely to improve the ability of the bike to sell quicker.

    Often the alteration on a bike is wrongly seen by a prospective buyer as a potential problem and there is a preference to stock standard. Now I personally like to treat a new bike as a work in progress but many do not.

    To the OP, I'd seriously consider returning the bike to close to stock, lowering the price to something realistic then flicking off the extra goodies on Trademe unit by unit.

    Now I hope you understand that this opinion of mine is given with the best intentions of aiding a fellow motorcyclist.


    PS - I like my Honda better - but that is just personal taste.

    That certainly doesn't preclude you from being an Injun.

    All your shiny gold stuff cost you $6930. I could get a couple of decent complete bikes for that. I know which I'd prefer.

    Haters unite, not my idea of the ultimate R1 either but the guy was just putting his bike up for sale, the thread wasn't titled "is this the ultimate R1". If you don't like it don't buy it. Bit like seeing a for sale sign on a house, ringing on the doorbell telling them you don't like the colour of their house and its not worth what they're asking.
    I love the smell of twin V16's in the morning..

    That's a bike that only Mick Hucknall could love.

    If it was on a house forum, then they'd get the same treatment.

    Your probably right, the same thing that turns normal decent people into aggressive morons behind the wheel of a car or handlebars of a bike turns otherwise decent folk into overly opinionated arseholes when they get in front of a keyboard, putting their views across and saying things in a way they would never do in a face to face conversation. I'm sure I'm just as guilty as the next person.
