Calling motorcyclists

[BurningAngel]

I drive with my black Yamaha RD125cc. Top speed over 180km/h
I thinking to buy next summer an Harley...
I got my first "bike" when I was 7 years old and since then I've been an "motorbike maniac"..

Get a black texta and write Fubu on them,then you could sell them for 4 times as much as you bought em.

 

[Southy]

you could well be right...what if i wrote W A N K E R on 'em ya think they would still buy at 4x my 10 bucks?

 

[KoichCPA]

If it was WANKAZ then maybe yeah.

Fuckin' hilarious dude!

 

[Winmar]

How much would your bike or a newer model cost if I bought one now, Sydo? Looks rather good, I must say. Much better than my old thing!

Oh yeah, in this booklet thingo I picked up, it says you can park your bike just about anywhere other than in the middle of a freeway or a swimming pool. Realistically, where exactly can you park a bike?

 

[Sydo]

A used Virago like mine go for about $3500 to $5500, it all really depends on age and condition. Keeping that in mind, I got mine for $3k and it's in near perfect condition!
I think they sell for about $8000 new.

As for parking, I'm not real sure. I park mine basically wherever I please, but often feel guilty in doing so. I should look that up 'eh, before I get a ticket..

 

[Winmar]

How much should this one go for, Mr Sydenham?

At the current price I'd damn well buy it if I was in Melb already!

 

[Sydo]

I've been watching that one myself. So far I've never seen any good bike reach their reserve on Ebay.

It's probably worth around $4500.

 

[Southy]

I think ya CAN park 'em any where so long as it isnt in a pedestrian or vehicle traffic's way

 

[Winmar]

So is the reserve hidden from the prospective buyer's view? I'm pretty new to this ebay stuff.

Sweet, parking is one of the real advantages of having a bike. I can't wait to ride one in Melb. Hmmm I can't really afford anything over $3000 though, as I also need to buy a car.

I got my learners when I was back home very briefly in June. The practical test wasn't too bad at all. Will the test for my Ps be much harder?

 

[Southy]

you should get something Alright for $3000 or less if ya buy privately

Not if you can ride.

 

[Southy]

that always helps dont it sydo

 

[Winmar]

$3000 should be ok.

Haha I can ride, but wouldn't want to have to balance myself on the bike through 4km of witches' hats or anything like that.

 

[Southy]

They don't test ya with what they cant do mate

 

[Winmar]

Ah good to hear.

Sorry to keep bugging you guys. I just can't let this thread go. I keep thinking of new questions I want to ask you. If I had a mate in Melb who rode bikes I could get all this done in one simple conversation!

Anyway, for $3000 or so, which bikes should I start looking at? I want to research the market a bit before I get home, so I can buy a bike pretty quickly. I paid too much for my bike here because I didn't know shit at the time, and I don't want to make the same mistake in Melb!
