About $4.5 or $5.5K including rego (depends whether I sell the old wheels for $800-1000).

No point in comparing it with non-road registered motards as these are always going to be cheaper just like a race bike would be.

yeah i know that. his reserve was $6500, so it was alot more expensive than your ktm, plus it needed to be made road legal

I'm feeling more and more like a man lately after successfully bleeding the brakes on both of my bikes, changing radiator coolant, clutch fluid, adjusting shocks, oil changes, spark plugs and learnt how to do the valve clearances on the KTM today!!

Been buying up on the tools too, got a torque wrench now if any club members need to borrow it and a universal oil filter removal tool and spark plug removal socket set.

When next week's student allowance payment comes through I'm going to buy a 20 litre drum of fully synthetic oil (which should last about 3-4 months with the amount of KMs I'm clocking up at the moment).

Ah yes... you gotta love bikes and impersonating a grease monkey!
