Unless i can find a K1/K2 Thou even a cosmetic damaged one for less than 9K.
That should be a piece of piss Oz, there's plenty of cosmetic damaged ones around (down here anyway) & it's a buyers market.quote:Originally posted by ozkat

For 9K you should have some $$ left over for risers, bars & lights.
I think you're going backwards myself.
Turbokat if you know of any let me know. Maybe you could help me out with a bit of a look.
No sweat mate, happy to.
Look at Fowles & Pickles auctions websites or the Melb Trading post site.
I do a bit of P/T work for a M/C wreckers & we get ém offered to us here & there by guys who bin 'em at trackdays or they didn't have insurance but usually private guys have an unrealistic (for wrecking) price on ém.
I knocked back a BADLY grazed K1 thou with 7K on the clock 2 weeks ago, the bloke wanted $7500 & it was still registered. It had Fighter written all over it.
Thats what im lookin for mate, 7.5K would be absolute tops tho ive gotta add transport to that as well.quote:Originally posted by turbokat

Turbokat, if you think you can get me a K1/K2/K3 or later for under 8k ( no frame or fork or wheel damage and good motor) ill leave it with you. will be about 2 weeks till im ready anyway. As long as i have enough bits to sell off to cover a cheap SF conversion ill be happy.
Turbokat PM me your ph number im keen if you can help.
Talk to puppet aswell Ozzy, He has mates that may help ya
puppets mates only have KY for sale
there will be a cheap 2003 model shortly at the auctions and it has already been streetfightered. keep your eyes out. will need new forks and triples.
K1 or 2 should't be a problem Oz, I won't consider anything with frame damage, most of the (non frontend impact) damaged ones I've seen have tanks/clocks/subframes/tails trashed, bear in mind these bits can be exxy. Private sellers will be best 'coz they rarely put a claim in so nobody has to know the bike was ever damaged. In Vic, repairable writeoffs (usually from the auctions) have to have a Vehicle Identity Validation certificate, it might pay you to make some calls to make sure you'll be able to register it in the land of Queens.quote:Originally posted by ozkat

PM me your No. & I'll let you know when something comes up.
Also worth considering is that there are a few higher Km (50ish) undamaged units about for around 10k +/-, for that $$ you'd have about $1500 worth of plastic/headlight/bracketry/etc to sell off & believe me, late model sportsbike cosmetics are in BIG demand.
Rexie, i already spoke to the bloke with the 03 GSXR that has the buggered front end, and he wants to buy it back at the auction. so i wont be bidding. Turbokat you have a pm.
keep the faith mate.hate for ya to have to change ya name to ozkwak.
you'll also need some coloured crate paper to wrap the goldwing in.
With regards to Insurance Write-offs from auctions, like Turbokat said, these will be on a WOVR (Written Off Vehicle Register). In QLD, you have to get the bike fixed, get a Safety Cert and then send to Qld Inspection Services to have it taken off the WOVR. That inspection alone costs $330 - and you have to give them ALL receipts for your parts. They say the idea is to stop the stolen parts industry - but it sounds like another Government money grabbing exercise. The auctions have late model bikes that can sometimes go cheap - but it's common to see R1's, ZX10's and the like come through without instruments (the towies probably cut them off). These are expensive. See http://www.fowles.com.au/ Normally on the last Tuesday of the month.
The other option of getting a crashed bike that is not WOVR listed will definitely make it easier to register.
Anyway, I bought a cheap 2000 ZX9 at Fowles recently and will be going through this in the next month or so. I will let you know how it goes (hopefully smoothly)
