price of ur beast

mine was about $1100.
(lol. plus about $240 on picking it up)
but as soon as i got it i took it to a dealer to see how much it was worth and he offered me about $2400 trade in. =]
i recon with a little bit of modding i can get it up to a nice $7000-8000.

what does turning your bike into a street fighter mean?

 

semi naked!

 

hmm it looks like i paid a lot compared to soem of you folks.

mine was $4470 for an fzr250 '89 with 16057km on the clock (or somethinglike that but it wasnt' too much over 16k) i got it with a 6 month waranty, rego adn service so i dont' have to think mechanics for too long anyway (tho i want to get it going even faster lol).

to me this is not a bad purchase in anycase since all the competition was about that much or more with some more kays usually so this was sweet <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->

 

Like this

 

£700 and he threw in a really comfy leather jacket <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->

 

thats a lot to pay...
mine was.. umm..
£600. so about $1100.
and it WAS all perfect. only thing wrong with it now is that my mum made the garden gate narrower one day and didnt tell me... lost both mirrors and they took the tips of the topframe with them. lol.

 

where abouts in UK are you and what year is yours?

just curious.

got mine in Kent, was the only one i could find all problems are cosmetic like a crack in fairing and flaking paint on mirrors.
is a picture of it on here in the pic section

 

£310..but have had to repair and paint fairings , reline all brakes,air filter,fuel filter,rear wheel,so say about £500 including test and picking it up!! <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s -->

 

Got my 1990 YZF 250 for $2,800 with 6 months rego and brand new bridgestone tyres on it! I only have to get the carbi's cleaned out and looked at and she will be good as new, only done 14,000 genuine km's with service records to prove. Im so pleased with this bike! Bike starts first time everytime, slight knocking when cold but disappears afters shes warmed up. (Knocking only when cold starting with no choke)

So yeah $2,800 + $200 for RWC = $3000AUD

 

Welcome,, sounds great - Perhaps you post some pictures up when you get round to it.

 

thanks Dave, here is a photo of my precious baby!



She needs a good old clean just a photo from when i purchased it, just wanted to get out and ride it ! hahaha!

i paid about 3500 for my 89 3ln but that was including the rego and new plates and inspection and all the crap that happens when you buy from interstate!...ill post some pics up soon .. its at my mates atm getting the forks gone over, and ive taken the handle bars and switchgear out so i can repaint it all and put on new grips....

 

looks very tidy -- just need some good weather so you can get out for a ride... <!-- s:Biker1: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/th_Biker_1.gif" alt=":Biker1:" title="biker_1" /><!-- s:Biker1: -->

 

Yeah cheers Dave, yeah finally the weather has been fantastic, so have gotten in MANY hours of riding! <!-- s:-| --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_bike.gif" alt=":-|" title="Bike" /><!-- s:-| -->

I posted some new photos up in the "Pictures of your Ride" or whatever its called post, looks a bit shinier etc hehe <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

 

Ok, I have just done the Tassie Toy run. Just got home a few hours ago and done about 730km over two days, weather a bit ordinary yesterday but much better today. Police were out in force (bad pun)

 

christ thats a long ride! cant imagine doing that on a fzr <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s --> well done! <!-- s:-| --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_bike.gif" alt=":-|" title="Bike" /><!-- s:-| -->

 

Paid $3200 for a '91. 45,xxx on the clock with 3 ~ 4 months rego. In pretty good shape - just got licenced in October. Then had to drop another $200 getting the custom muffler returned to good shape. Pretty happy with it tho. I guess there's less 2nd hand bikes in an isolated city like Perth than some of the more densely populated areas over East.

 

i paid $2100 with roady and 11months reg
has a small oil leak from the rocker cover and needs a tune up otherwise pretty good
its been resparyed blue but for some reason the previous owner buffed back the clear coat

 

$3300 with 7months rego and new tyres, few little dents on the exhaust from a drop and a mysterious tapping noise like some of the other people have noted...
