[Hillsy]

A bit pricey, but I can't say I've seen one done before;

ive checked it out actually made an offer and yes its a special bike but its not a collectable its parts dont add up to that and you could build one for less im sure

an rc30 for 20k would be a much better option as in ten years time it would be worth double, this would be worth less than 10k Nice guy but I think he's kidding. It must be the Ex Car dealer coming out in him

oh and i believe those pics for the story on the bike are taken by Boxer

[Large]

At least now you know how much he wants.

[El_Hefty]

haha wayyyy too much hey Large (who has also seen it)

[Gitzy]

Why has he made next to no effort to sell this thing? Terrible Ad IMO.

[BANDITROD]

Maybe his missus is trying to make him sell it hence why he isn't trying real hard

[El_Hefty]

it does have some superb bits has genuine Yoshimura flatslides (4k but ten+ years ago), nice wheels(4k but ten+ years ago) an ex race engine of which he couldnt even tell me the specs in person (im 100%sure its legit 10 years old + but seriously) has modified the frame stiffened/braced everywhere and actually modified the uprights where the radiator is. Widened the tank to fit the carbies in. There is not much that isnt modified or changed and its a fucking nice bike, pure porn if you even remotely like Kats

The radiator (gsx400?) ISNT big enough and the bike can overheat,the frame couldnt take a standard available raditor so he had been talking to PWR about a custom radiator so you will need to get a bigger radiator, the bike will need to be engineered due to the frame mods and yes it isnt registered, he rides it on a trade plate ATM and there were a few other items that it needed but they were minor.

So add maybe 2-3grand more to get it right and road registered

im already convinced Rod but at half the price He hadnt shown his hand to me, he has now though
:(

[El_Hefty]

well one good thing comes from this ... i now have spare cash to go buy a V twin i've been hankering for

[BANDITROD]

It's a fucking nice bike but it's hard to put a price on one offs .....to me it's prob worth it but that's only cos I know how much it costs to build such a bike ...I can still see it from a buyers point of view though

[El_Hefty]

your right rod, im just shitty because now its out someone else is going to own it and i wanted it :o(

[BANDITROD]

Ya never know mate things might go your way

[Tony Nitrous]

It looks quite well done but I cant see $20k (starting bid)
If it floats your boat and your cashed up... ?

$20k would buy me an 1100 Kat that IS and WILL BE a classic
AND a tidy Mk1 Hayabusa.

[MONO]

This is the one you talked about Michael, he hasn't said anything about rego !

[El_Hefty]

Yeah MONO its not registered and would need an engineers cert to be registered and some other work, its close though

[Gix11]

Yea, I was there with Boxer when he did the photo shoot. Very clean bike.
