I'm interested in getting a dual sport

[JATZ]

Right, considering I'm using my insurance money to get this bike, I'm confident now with my choice of model. I've decided on the Honda NXR125. I've read lots of good reviews about this model and I'm confident that it will give me a good introduction into riding dual sports. I can always buy a bigger bike in the future once I'm ready to upgrade, but for now I'm sure I'll have plenty of fun with this one. Also, its within my budget and I can use it around the farm, road and beach too.

Are you sure ?

Nah... it should be alright as a starter bike, I think your firs ride should be a hoon out to whiterocks. You guys really are spoilt for choice when it comes to dual sport riding.
When you've got your bike sorted don't forget to check in with the Wellington rideout thread over in the adv forum. Not a bad bunch of guys...... except for the turkey on the crazy loud KLR ......
They come over the hill quite often and wouldn't mind riding with people of all skill levels, I'm sure

Hmm... I have a question referring to an NXR I'm currently looking at, does anyone know how much it would cost roughly to have bike that is registered for beach use to be changed or upgraded for road use?

[Spearfish]

what do you mean by beach use?
It got plates but lapsed or never been registered or I think farmers can rego a bike at a different cost but there is a limited distance from the home farm they can travel.

The cost will depend on its history

I was told that If I did purchase it I could fill out the required papers at VTNZ, I have no idea how much that would cost though, I can't seem to find much information on their website either. The bike that I'm look at is being sold by dealer up in Palmerston North (this one actually) - http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=350358650

This was the email I got:

The bike is registered for beach use. It can be changed to road use by filling out the special forms at VTNZ.

I have never heard of beach use rego.
I think maybe its been put on hold so you will have to make sure its up to WoF standard, pass the wof then go get your registration.
If they have lapsed then you will have a little bit more work to do.

Maybe ask for its rego plate info then get a carjam report, it should answer your questions.

Give ANZA a phone call, the guys are there to help. Ask them how much for the bike rideaway or 'on the road'. I imagine it needs a WOF at least and they are equipped to do it all for you.

Once they give you a price, remember to negotiate.

[Cayman911]

probably some kind of an exemption to get cheaper rego by the last owner/dealer.

But anyways good you are getting it.
you will love it and keep it for the rest of your life
