Oh shit, has he gone already?

Trumpydom!
some guys are dreamers.
dale is one of them
I call it like I see it. Don't take it personally.
Couple of years ago I was on the border Pakistan and Afganistan and they had a bunch of those trucks there, I managed to get a look inside a few and fuck they are actually kinda cool in a fucked up Gangsterstan kinda way they are blinged out hard core, awesome stereos etc
Ive run out of fucks to give
Even I draw the line at colouring in the lettering on the sidewalls of my tyres![]()
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.
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.

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.![]()
