Beautiful, don't get pics of RG5 motors loike that very often, centrefold porn for motorcyclists

There's a low mileage original and very tidy Japanese market RC30 in Peter Stephens in Adelaide, the price mentioned - before negotiation - was $30k. I've seen seemingly tidy ones for less. Really good RG500 in Adelaide went a few months ago for less than $15k, and good (not crap) RZ/RD500's seem to...

A lot of people trying to sell off of a sudden, not saying anything about any particular one, but when they get to silly prices for scrap or mental prices for normal bikes I start thinking the boats left port, may as well look at modern bikes again! On the other hand a lot of them just seem to keep ...

Not cheap but if it's any good...
Doesn't look "quite" right in certain places but would be interesting to see one up close

just re-read what you wrote more carefully JonW, interesting what you say about their looseness in designating a model year when exporting. Frustrating for anyone wanting to get details all lined up "just so".

I thought the guy had just got the year wrong, to my eye that's an 85 bike, well it would be in the UK. The swingarm is what you'd not have seen until 85, square ended. The 83's and 84's were still "LC2" bikini fairing models with the flat end plates on the rear fork. The front muddy is th...

OK, I'm baffled by this sort of thing. The selling point of this bike is that it's never even been started and presumably some "collector" is prepared to spend over $15k on it simply because it isn't running or runnable!?! Start it or ride it and the soap bubble of virginity is burst and i...

Brand New, Never Started...

Well fire it up then and let's have a listen!

Thats way beyond whimsy, but then again, might be fun playing Dogfights if you had two of them.....
Bandits at nine o'clock! NEEEOOOWWW TAKATAKATAKA.... etc

(Well for about twenty minutes anyway)

Ozzy, I thought you were safe too, but now... well past $10k!
Do they sell Vaseline in Australia?

How much is a new R1?

Hey Steve, good to see you posting here m8 Ive missed you in the other place :( 10k would be about right, maybe a bit light compared to the recent uk sales of similar bikes. Yeah, but don't forget that the RD series was massive in the UK, and the market's got overheated over there IMHO. Pricing a l...

The bike it came from looked OK too, shame it was dismantled. Out of curiosity, does anyone know if everything else was the same between the ally framed RZ's and the steel framed bikes? I know that it's been said the ally framed ones came out of the factory a bit detuned, but I kind of assumed every...

Rennstar website doesn't seem to exist anymore, any suggestions?

Crikey, just got a proper eyefull of the MotoGallur site, now that's what I CALL a hobby. Dunno what you do for a living fella, but you're doing the right thing with your spare money and time!
