    Seems pretty cheap for a $6k bike.
    Or, $50, ride it back and enjoy the ride. If you don't want it, $50 for a flight back.
    if you book that six month in advance, that's from airport to airport too, if you're lucky, what about the other travel and parking costs incurred, you're probably one of these people who say it's cheaper to go to aussie than south island, but have added the costs of taking a car down south and the ferry and all, but not added tose same costs when going to OZ.

    Nope - I can do a jetstar return tomorrow for $79 out and $59 back. Last time I flew to Welly on a couple of days notice, it was even less. Add on $10 at each end for the bus and we are up to $180. How much is the pre purchase inspection.....?

    The bike was sold as per earlier thread entry so its an expensive trip to not buy a bike.

    Bruce, the former service manager from Wellington M/C, has set up a bike inspection service and mechanical work I hear...he would be great to get to look at a Wgtn bike. Talk to Pete (Crasherfromwayback) and I am sure he will know how to get hold of him.

    FWIW I wouldnt give Motomart the steam off my piss....too many bad dealings with them
    Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead
    Do not walk ahead as I may not follow.
    Do not walk beside me as the path is narrow
    In fact FU*K off and leave me alone

    Yes might want the rego number and do a check on millage at each wof. What is the full carjam report worth?
    Speedo looks like the type you could pull circlip at end and release and manually turn numbers.

    Didn't see the muffler wrap either.
