PSA: Don't buy this bike [GSXR750 2013)

[Mike.Gayner]

Now it's a classified, so no public questions. He has also blanked the plate so prospective buyers can't do a search.

Replacing what was bent is one thing.

Denying that he replaced what was bent, or even acknowledging that it was bent is dodgy dealing plain and simple. The guy is more bent than the bits on the bike were.

You will not make a bid then ... such is Trademe.


YOU don't want it .. DON'T bid.


Simple eh .. !!!

The bike has had an off with the previous owner. However, it has been repaired to a high standard with genuine Suzuki parts and it has been issued a new WOF from VTNZ since then, along with a general inspection at the dealership. The only imperfection I can notice on the bike is some light scratches on the left side of the swingarm, which can be seen in one of the photos.

I thought I'd give him the piss but he's advertised it truthfully explaining it had been involved in a crash then repaired so... No more false advertising (no more pisstake ).


Hope he sells well!

Only because I was privy to additional information that was highly relevant, and not disclosed in the ad - in fact glossed over glibly describing it as "mechanically unmolested". The simple thing would have been for him to do what he has now done, per EJK's quote below, and advised that fact.

Agreed.

Of course but who does he contact to make these changes??
For future references if I decided to repaint a bike.

In short don't fuck with Kiwibiker keyboard warriors: we will find you, we will ask questions, WE WILL PROSPER!

Cheers to the OP for bringing this up, that bike was a proper mess!

Has anyone noticed when advertising bikes its always the previous owner who drops bikes never the current owner.

Fortunately I'm not selling mine. I don't think the previous owner dropped my bike, but I've lost count. I'm guessing 1-2 dozen. Adventure bikes are good like that

I have noticed and it irritates the fuck out of me. It's some gay little face-saving exercise that no one cares about. I only care if/how it has been dropped, not about by whom.
