heh, he has spent close to a grand getting it legal though!
I think the trouble with the ax, gl etc is that they're probably getting eaten up by bucket racers.
the GN is overpriced.
The CB NZpure has might be your style, how much would it cost you to get a bus/hitch, and ride it back?
looking under a grand there is fuckall out there other than stuff with dead rego etc.
If you want a legal hack to get you around till your beast is going again, you might have to up your bugdet to at least 2k - remember of course that when buying a 2k bike, you arent going to lose anything on resale.
unless you try doing wheelies of course!
Grr Duc out bid me.Everyone wants out bid me because im a cheap bastard.
I have evolved as a KB member.Now nothing I say should be taken seriously.
FWIW I had a GL145 and it went real well, pulled strongly - kick start only, but easy peasy, 100km/hr no worries

It'd be more than my cheap arse will pay![]()
You're not wrong with the $2k thing, but if I had $2k I'd hurry up the 600 project, it's not too far off as it is.
GN's have soared in price since I owned one, they were worth chump change when I got mine
You're cheap, I'm selfish and cheap
You have to be pulling my leg? I'd be happy with 100 easily, they do supposedly manage 3.5L/100km, which tickles my fancy
They were a bit of a failI'd say they failed purely because the GN existed.
It'd be my fourth Hondathe closet is well and truly open here!

cheap rego.
An XR 200 motor will slot in nicely.....swingarm may flex a bit ( a lot).

I've hit 1k pretty hard too
I've got to make a list, main problem is me buying shit overseas lol
I need to get the legs chromed, might slam a set of seals in it and hope though? Whaddaya think?
I'm pretty sure the forks/zorst are the biggest jobs left
I'll have to keep that in mind, bloody good of you
Oh, that I do like! I wish I could find a reasonable Honda twin near here
darn right laddie
Three of those beasts are on the watch list.
I'm going to make a list with prices (I hate that part) for the 600/squidtasticpileofcrap/Dougasaki and weigh it all up, I have a few weeks before I move and may be house bound (living in the country) but I'll do the pros and cons.
There's an RG down Wellington ways that needs work, may ask someone to check it out, depending on how many parts I find, I'd much rather one of 'em than a GN
GLs were sold new here. I had a 1 year old one for about 2 years in the late 80s. Bloody bulletproof, reliable, easy to work on and a lot quicker than it looked. For as tiny as it looked it was really good on the motorway, top cruise speed was about 110 or so. Screamed a bit over that.
Try econohonda for parts, I believe most stuff is still readily available. I did the exercise when thinking of buying one for my Daughter.
