I dont think you understand how hard it is for us aussies here, new s/h there is 9500, here after freight- customs - tax- and bike shop margin they are 16k, and i totally agree thats retarded. 65% more than what you pay for one. as for the zr1 corvette 150% more than what you can buy one for, and your telling me 16k is too much for a service honda brand new, no one in australia can build me one for under 25k new. forget second hand, not in my books buddy. even to buy one new there and freight it here will still cost me 14k so for the piece of mind i would rather walk into a showroom and buy new off the floor.AlisoBob wrote:$16K for a dirtbike is retarded
$130k+ for a Chevy Silverado is even more retarded

At $6190.00, I think most people would pass on that. Especially after seeing the inside of another blokes here (2strokesforever?) SH bike. I Could see paying that much if it were put together by a fantastic mechanic (if you want to see big dollars for single cylinder MC engine builds / maintenance, check out the fees paid by GP and Pro level Speedway riders ), with surgical precision, perfectly blue printed And with modern modifications / parts / porting to your specs (all the previous with limits obviously), but not when they appear to be put together with no real care or attention to detail.alcrook26 wrote:scooters dead right. Get a brand new engine from s/h and we can give you a hand finding the right bike and people to help convert it. im no welder, but if i was to do it again i wouldnt buy a rolling frame from MPS but buy a near new bike, and manage the build, outsourcing when i needed to. You can do alot of it youself. IT CAN BE DONE, and for a shitload less than 20-25k.
I dont have more money fellas, if you guys notice most of you yanks are replying to this thread cause over there you can purchase whatever you want from your local seven eleven. Population yanks 400million, aussies 22million we on average pay double to you yanks so if icould could build one for 5k like most of you I would. Over here in australia their rare like hens teeth I cant build a bike dont have the time or patience. To get someone to build a new bike 25k+ buy new s/h 15k to me thats a bargain. Maybe you yanks should come to australia and see what we have to deal with, just look on ebay au and search things u know what is worth and then see what we pay for it, rest my case. Thanking everyone for their comments and opinions even ones that had nothing to do with the thread.100hp honda wrote:he wants new so leave him be. obviously has more money than us. let him spend it where he wants

Some people should not be allowed to own any sort of machinery, it seems. I thought the leg out of the bed might be down to some drongo not realizing that the bike had separate oil compartments, but the condition of the basket and hub might mean it was owned by some drug addled twirp that didn't even realize that the engine needed oil, be it in 1 or 2 compartments
