The Reid twins at high school. Now they could perform and they looked good as well. Sweet sounds? You should have heard those girls sing.

sure it wasnt the Ingham twins??

[brp]

They all twins upside down

Crikey not much out there for the price of a TL's

All of those dukes you got to frig round doing the belts every 20,000 KM ?

What are the KTM's like on the maintenance side of things ?

Yeah HDC nice Honda that one - I've been interested in those in the past, was looking round for best
bang for your buck (pass on Ingham twins) after the replies just think sit tight see what comes up in Christchurch
- missed out on original 13000KM 97 TL's in Darfield Canterbury last week - was a jap import though, imported in 98
180 km/hr speedo and restricted ECU

Cheers for the trademe links - the silver one they wanted $8500 when had prices up

Green one - green not really a preferred color - I seen it listed last month - was not coming up this month with tl1000
and tl 1000 searches

Cheers

What about a KTM Super Moto or Super Duke, they're pretty mad hooligan machines

Shame i know a bloke in the Nth isle who recently sold a really tasty one.Be patient if you really want a good one as theres still plenty out there,cant advise on anything better,bought my S about 11 years ago and cant bring myself to let it go.Why a 97?apart from being the 1st thats about all they have going for em over the later ones,internally there only a little different and having ridden plenty can say there no quicker than the rest,TLSs and old wives tales go hand in hand.

Far to sensible for me fella,some of us go about it the hard way buy a dinosour then spend a decade or so chucking money and time at it for no logical reason.

[SlowHand]

Back away you vultures!

Half these bikes are on my watchlist (except for the hondas, cos they're ghey). I'm definitely buying something as soon as I hand in my last paper tomorrow. The 5 year draught will be over!

[Coolz]

I'm surpised nobody has mentioned a Buell yet.

I had a SP1. Painted in castrol colours. Guy in Auckland bought it. Any one seen it lately?
Good bike. Sounds better than vtr and tls and tlr. Faster acceleration and same top end speed as tlr.

Personally idd have my bmwr1200s back over the SP1. not as much power but close but handled better and easier to ride for long distance.
SP1 only gets 170 odd km per tank at legal speeds. So not good in that reguard but after 150km your arse needs a rest anyway.

Maybe a little to much monies that hes asking. 13 would be better price.
