Who said RZs werent worth 10k+?

Post by JonW »

unregistered import... looks clean, but its not exactly a fully rebuilt bike or anything:

they have anbother for 9,900 as well...

So, spend a bit more on your restos lads, it wont matter if people actually pay this money for unfettled imports that have been sat for gawd knows how long...

Yes old mate a Classic Bikes Direct likes to ask top dollar, you'll find it's got lots of bugs too. I've looked closely at a number of his "high quality" bikes and there is a lot of stuff I'd want fixed before paying the to dollar he asks. Strangely enough he doesn't seem to sell a lot of them....

Indeed... and no mention of paperwork or blue slip etc. Its all kind of bizarre and not at all real world imho.

The nsw regs are 'less then 660cc and 150kw per ton' - so why not. The RZ/RD delivers pretty manageable power through out they rev range - I can't say the same for an RGV. It is not just the outright HP but they way it is delivered.

And a sale ain't a sale until the money is in the bank.

What you ask and what you get ain't necessarily the same thing :wink: .

Nice bike but not a $11,000 bike in my books :twisted: .

Hey on RGV power delivery I thought I had sticking power valve so let me describe it. Builds fairly steadily to about 6K then basically takes off like a maniac - its like an explosion and nothing sane about it. Does that sound normal?
