Yeah I know it will have a bit more character and prob easier to ride. Just that for me the main attraction was only ever the fact it had V4 powerplant.Originally Posted by Drew
We should have a thread about previously unaffordable sportsbikes eg remember when the SP-1 came out, they were 32 grand or something silly, now can get one for 10kish...

I bought my latest bike at the airport before a 12 hour flight back to NZ, she'd come to terms with it by the time I got home.

Tell her you are worried about her security - there have been a lot of robberies in your area lately. You feel a shingle drive would be better as baddies don't like them as they make a noise when walking/driving on them. Heck you'll even be nice and get some of that pretty coloured stones.
Re V4 Aprilia - will that be of any value if kept tidy in 30 odd years?
I don;t think so - we are not getting the milestone bikes anymore - presumably because they are all so friggen good now that a significant model advancement is very difficult.
Geriatric hoon
The CEO of Honda announced that there was a new V4 limited edition sprotbike in the pipeline. The magazines all assumed this ultimately to be a replacement for the CBR but time passes with no sign of the new bike. Not that it matters too much to me, they were guessing $100,000 or thereabout for the SE version.

It was at a Facilities Management discussion on occupied space in Auckland and it came up. They mentioned one guy who owned a few buildings that were destroyed and they took the insurance money and bought buildings in Auckland and that companies who moved to the outskirts show no sign of wanting to move back to the city.
They said Vodafone were but not many overseas firms. I have no idea on the ChCh market but it did not sound that good for the CBD area.
I don't even know what an RC 30 is, the 80's and 90's bikes passed me by both literally and metaphorically.

All true re ChCh - christ knows why the gubbmint concentrated on rebuilding the CBD when there's people without homes...However...It was at a Facilities Management discussion on occupied space in Auckland and it came up.

CBD has a bit of construction going on now. A fortune is being dumped into foundations. Thing is pre earthquakes the CHCH CBD was dying somethign awful business wise, the Council were even trying to find ways of bringing people back into it. Having said that there were 22,000 or so working there when Feb fucked it. Having been in CBD then I am still surprised the body count was not 1000 plus.
Govt and Council red tape is pissing off property owners in the CBD - easier to take your coin north.

Who decides/defines what a 'milestone' bike is... There's lots of bikes from recent times that were common as muck but now becoming collectable. I think once electric goes mainstream anything of internal combustion will be hot property to some extent...

electric motorcycles...that's a depressing thought.
Milestone bikes are not necessarily ones you would want to own and ride.
At a show recently in AK the stand next to our boring BMW one has a Suzuki RE5.... Milestone at the time, in reality more of a millstone.

350 cubic metres of exposed aggregate was beyond my diy ability.What sort of man gets someone else to do their driveway
No do it yourself spirit left in this country.

That is a good size driveway. Not impossible, but you would need some GOOD mates to help with that. The hosing off would have been the easiest bit, good job for a donut eater.
