Bikes disappearing from trademe

Am I missing something?.......checked Trademe today and the volume of motorcycles has dropped radically!...check it out

Maybe I should put my bucket up now and it will sell!!

I've been watching a few (have negotiated budget with wife and will soon have cash to spend) and yes, where the hell are they going? Several have been withdrawn by seller.

I won't have my money till the 20th so all I can do at the moment is watch.

Am soooo looking forward to getting back on a bike, haven't owned one for 15 years. My old man bought a Hyosung Aquilla and it gave me a taste to get back on one myself and ride.

Some homo-tree-hugger at ACC has probably sales taxed them 200%.

Pretty sure Sir John would not do this to us.

You're funny.

**tigertim20** · 9th March 2009, 19:57

I see 21000 odd bikes at the moment, are you searching NZ or just your area?

See post #5......

Mine has just sold (kx125) and that is probably because of the time of year along with other bikes selling in this nice riding weather. Bet you're bummed out that all the bikes are gone, right?

Well you're in luck! My zxr is still for sale, so buy it off me now!

I arranged to test ride about 6 bikes of trademe - cbr,zeal,zxr,bandit,vtr,rgv each seller seemed confident i would buy there bike so they took their ads down, or atleast for the time being. But i only got around to test ride the zeal and bandit.In the next week there will surely be a flock of bikes on trademe, they have these periods where a whole lot of good all rounder bikes are for around $3500, it seems to be a set price for most bargains.

Did you mention my bike to any of your rich L plater friends, Dean? Any interest?

**Dean** · 9th March 2009, 20:25

Yep they dont exactly want a bike thats 11 or more years older, one is wanting to get the aprillia rs250 (rich bugger).
But i will see what i can do, i think i have your number from a previous pm, will put the word out tommorow.
Does your bike have a current wof, rego?
What price?
etc
