you'll get a quicker sale if you drop the price to something more reasonable. My 2c.

Yeah well it's the cheapest CBR on trademe, and minus a few cracks on the fairings and the paint job it is in mint condition. I didn't really know what to expect so I just played along with the market as there's no point in starting low.

Not too sure on the upgrade so far... Having a chat with some people tomorrow and should end up with a pretty good idea of what I'm after.

Yo, about $3,500... I have found a mint VFR400r (nc30) that I'm going to pretty much buy as soon as I can get a hold of the seller

And I'm waiting for a guy in Whangerei to confirm his offer of $3,400 for my bike. Then I would be in with a grin straight after exams next Tuesday or Wednesday.

Who's coming for a ride if it's all confirmed??

**ehab2weelr** · 23rd June 2008, 09:54
