I'll second that - beautiful bike, religiously maintained, ridden and looked after by an experienced rider.

Associated problems? Nothing will ever feel fast again. You will have difficulty keeping that little card that shows your picture and tells what vehicle class you can drive, and rear tyres will be measured in number of rides.

thanks guys, the one i'm looking at is a K1 with full yoshi 4-2-1 exhaust which sounds awesome, but the best part is he only want's $10500 for it, it's had a custom paint job which i'm a little worried about but it still looks cool in bright blue, the bottom part of the fairing is missing, to make room for the headers i guess, but all the engine covers,rims etc have been polished so with a bit of elbow grease it'll be quite bling, It's being sold on behalf by KTL in kingsland so before i hand over any cash i'll want to have a chat with the owner to find out whats what,

the early ones only brake the subframe when after market system is fitted , as the o/e headers are part of the stress member (from where they bolt to frame under bike an where they bolt to rear pegs) it helps keeping arse up , the newer buses dont have a alloy subframe but steel
i have some body pannels from my old 99 bus if youlooking for some

Sounds like a down the road bike to me if it isn't original paint keep well clear of it !!

10k for a 91 with dodgy paint is a bit much.
If 10k was good value on this machine it would have gone already.
21k will get you a new one 16 a minter under 2yo.
Be ready to spend some money or get it inspected before you make up your mind.
With what a 'bus engine is capable of don't look twice at one that doesn't inspire confidence.

If it's the bike I'm thinking of, I've seen it on TM for the last six odd months. If it was me, I'd get the other $7,500'ish financed and buy a brand new one!!!
