Inside Scoop!

finn appears to have gone all green (or black) with envy......

He's being a real pal and buying it so he can sell me the front end cheap

Hey guys, heard Star Insurance are selling a 2006 ZX10R at: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...949982&ed=true Thought you might be interested.

1,000 k's on the clock and a $1 reserve - can't hurt to have a look aye!

that's a goddam bargain for whoever wins it

the swingarm could probably be straightened and re-heat treated for a coupla grand

the subframe is hardly a concern, just pull it straight and tack up any cracks.
the rest seems cosmetic.

good luck finn

Oi! LOL...mine had 24000kms and less damage...but now it's all shiny and umm new

Yeah i was a little down on the Ks there Boy Wonder, but it woke you up so welcome to the day.....

[onearmedbandit]

Hmmm, I think I know one of the bidders.

So if the indicators work are you going to buy it?

[crazybigal]

i take it you havnt tried to re-cert a bike since the last lot of rule changes!
Swing arm will need to be replaced, you should see the spec you have to have for LTSA! some dick who knows nothing about bikes and engineering wrote the rules. frames have to be like 1mm tolerance , fuck ive of heard of frames coming out of the factory 5-10mm out of spec!, same with forks .1 of a mm, fuck thats a new one.
It will be a bargain at a 2 grand but some muppet will pay 6 for it.

looks like the new trend, insurance selling their damaged bikes on trademe rather than sending them to those ripoffs, turners auctions!!

no, i'm just going by what i've seen and done to bikes.

as far as using it on the road goes, that might well be another story

damn good looking track bike for $3-4k though!

Yup, that it is. Instead of sending trades to Turners etc, we put a lot of them on trademe and watch the bidding frenzy! Good feeling watching the dollars go up on a car you would've got fuck all for from Turners.

Yes although the flat battery is a real concern.

[idleidolidyll]

and hopefully that keeps insurance rates down too...............

[onearmedbandit]

Yeah, unless he's got a decent excuse for it I'd be backing out mate. I smell a fish.

Found a new one in the US for $900NZ.

Boys and Girls!

This was my bike, i binned it on the hway 22 near pukekawa on gravel!

I was hoping to buy it back myself for a spare motor, but Star wanted to auction it and you bastards keep bidding on it!

Any questions about the bike i'd be happy to answer them.

...and yes it was only 2 weeks old and had only done about 1300k's.

And by the way, Star insurance are fucken legends!

This was the second bike i wrote off in 3 weeks (my first being the one that was on display at the Star Insurance stand at the manukau bike show).

Not only did they give me another new bike but they covered me again.

Their service is truly outstanding!

[crazybigal]

hell yeah, make a good track toy!

no, i'm just going by what i've seen and done to bikes.

[crazybigal]

2 in 2 weeks! dont tell me you have another one!! could this be 3 in 5 weeks???

i think turners take upto 50% of the sale price on damaged cars? i know its alot anyway and they get money from the buyer!

Yup, that it is. Instead of sending trades to Turners etc, we put a lot of them on trademe and watch the bidding frenzy! Good feeling watching the dollars go up on a car you would've got fuck all for from Turners.
