Classic and classy GB 400TT For Sale

**Japhy Rider** · 11th January 2007, 15:23

I am soon going to sell my trusty mount, advertising it in all applicable places, but I thought I would post here first for expressions of interest.

Kiwi Bikers can then get first dibs on purchasing my fabulous GB.

Things you need to know:

I have just finished giving it a service so it is all tip top in the oil and filters department, new tyres and new brake shoes.

The cam chain has seized on the bike and it has got a bit of wear on the drive chain. The cost to fix these two problems will cost an estimated $450 - $500. Neither of these complaints affects the performance of the machine itself, I have just finished a tour up and down the North Island and experienced absolutely no problems.

I believe this kind of cycle would suit an enthusiast or perhaps some one with mechanical knowledge who can fix it with the minimum of cost. It would also make a great second bike.

As a result of the repairs needed I am prepared to sell the bike for a rather cheap $1600 to KB members and/or associates. I have a double seat that I will throw into the bargain also.

Take a look at my picture and you'll get a sense of the bike. When I do go all out to sell it I will provide updated photos, but as I say other than the two mechanical things the bike is in excellent condition, looks awesome, rides like a dream (especially through the bendy bits

) and I'll miss it when it is gone

.

Please PM me if you are interested, or if you'd like to come round and take a look. Feel free to ask any questions.

Is the cam chain seized or the auto tensioner? How many kms?

Nice can you send me more pics please?

Hey there Bonez,

The cam chain is seized.

54,000kms on the O, and I am the 4th owner.

Hobdar I plan to take some photos on Sunday or Monday and I will post them up or send them or something soon after.

cheers

**Blakamin** · 18th January 2007, 18:57

any photos yet???

**Japhy Rider** · 23rd January 2007, 12:51

Sorry to those awaiting photos.

I will be adding my bike to Trade Me next week and will obviously provide photos with that.

I plan however to post photos here first to give KB members first dibs.

This will most likely take place on Thursday/Friday, with the bike being placed on Trade Me on Monday.

Thanks for your patience. Keep your eyes peeled.

At ~170kg and 34hp, you won't be breaking any land-speed records but that's not the idea of this bike.

Looks v. nice, Japhy, would be very interested if I was coming up to my full licence! Good luck with sale.
