Why would you feel stupid if you can afford it why not. Stupid would be buying a bike that you cant really afford

I guess lately I've been thinking in terms of not spending money unless it's going to make money. At least a big chunk like what would buy a GS1200.
I love the little hondas! The seats suck though and I can't imagine spending more than an hour riding at a time.
Does Mike Corbin make a honda wave seat?

Any specific info to back this up or is it just an opinion? I am not a huge fan of Harley's but I have always liked Buell for doing the unexpected. I haven't heard anything overly positive or negative about the Ulysses since they are a new model and not very common.

How much for that thing macha??

350,000 ono. Low milage!

Reason for selling: Want to import a brand new Yamaha R1.

bladdy ell macha.
Mine was 45,000 and is far more beautiful.

Doubtless yours looks better than mine. This one's ZX9, latest model, and I'm selling it for half the price you would pay for a brand new.

Only 18,000 kms.

^
Mine is blue

I've saved a copy of yours mate. (I even managed to take off that bull sticker)!

THere is no zx9 latest model.

I am sure I have seen that bike on Mocyc.com.

350k is over priced on a ZX9.

Isn't ZX9-R the latest (I might be wrong).

No

ZX9 was stopped for the mental ZX10

It was made until 2002 I think, C2 model I believe. Might have made it too 2003.

I though you were a chopper rider Macha with your shadow or virago or whatever it was.

NOne the less Macha an excellent bike.

I just love riding on them on weekends is all mate. Mine's the last model of ZX9 (2002). Is it overpirced at 350,000?

*The real mad rider's me nephew (Mhz) who had numerous accidents and still wish to continue his biking career*

..... and yeah I love the new Yamaha R1. Recently saw it at BITEC. Is it worth spending 700,000 for R1 Mrs. Q.?

350 is a bit over.

chech the prices on www.mocyc.com

they are generally ok give you an idea.

a Hyabusa is going for that sort of money.

2002 ZX-9 probably around 300k or so, depends on demand.

Busa, Blades, BlackBirds and R1 are easy to shift. ZX9', ZX12s are more difficult just down to popularity.

Stupid really.

I personally wouldn't spend the wedge on an R1 I woul buy a later model and trick it out.

There was a review of a guy who bought an R1 98 and bored out the engine polished and ported it, sorted the suspension and fueling and could beat a new model around the track for 2/3's of the price.

He was planning on fitting a supercharger to it as well.

Would look better if it was green

Thanks for the linky Mrs. Q.

*Ah don't forget to tell me if its worth paying 700,000 for R1*

Thanks very much for the suggestion Mrs. Q.

*hope you don't red me anymore*

Here you go -

Come on Dave the only way you would get that for free is if you stole the thing
