    The End?

    Time for us to part - like i said in the add - keeping will be no hardship but I'd consider a part trade for a 250... I'm quite sad about it really, we have grown quite attached to the wee fizzer...

    End of an era, really. Great effort on the work you've done on that bike Paul, someone will get themselves a well sorted machine. I've made the first bid to get the ball rolling.

    LOL are you STILL trying to convince Vicky to get on a bike Paul?
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    I think motorcyclists must be about as 'evangelical' as golfers sometimes.

    No secret there mate... Point is, if someone wants to upgrade from a GN or something its potentially a good deal for them... ;-)

    Besides - GN sprint bike?? That has to be a giggle...

    Well there seems to be a great deal of interest shown in the FZR400... I wonder if it will sell this weekend? I hope so!

    Anyway - I'm getting really keen on building a dedicated sprint bike from a GN250 or somesuch... (at one stage I was thinking of getting a dead FZR400 and building an electric speed record type bike but...)

    Vicki is also keen on a GN for pottling about Kapiti on so heres a great opportunity for you folks with older GN's looking for an easy upgrade to an older sportsbike... ;-)

    Looks like I could end up with a fleet of GN's.... gnah!

    I doubt it Helen - such is the way with older bikes until finally there are hardly any left and suddenly they are 'classics' to be admired etc... I rode it again in the weekend with Jim2's Kat400 and it's just such a nifty bike. I got horribly messed up, lost the front on wet leaves and it recovered and away we went... I felt quite heroic!

    Between the two 400's... The Kat feels like a high performance street bike and the FZR feels like a racebike with lights...

    Well lots of interest but no sale.... Oh well....

    I'll relist it with a buy now of $3k - good deal for that (with the spares) I think..

    $3k is what I paid for it when it was a peice of pooh so I would say that that is a more than reasonable!!!!!!!

    Nooo!

    Don't fall into the trap of dropping your price on the relist. Sometimes things take a while and the right person hasn't seen it yet. Hang in there for a couple of months at least. The weather isn't exactly conducive to inspiring someone into buying a vintage sprotsbike at the moment (the weekend gone excepted).
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Potentially good advice..... I think 3K will stop an fzr400 these days though..

    True....but the 400 market is depressed because of the GLS. Most buyers are either after 250s, or now on full and want a 'big' bike - 600+
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Which is a shame but I suppose I could convert it to a 600 for a laugh eh?
