Buying a ZX2R ?

[iamvinhy]

Anyone know any good places in Sydney to buy late model ZX2R's ?
C model ..

I was thinking of buying from Victoria as theres a few that I like..
what would be the price of freight?

I know from a Queensland store they offer $100 freight and will also
colour the bike to any colour you like..

Any ideas ?

For i=1,1000000
print{"Do not buy a grey-import four-cylinder four-stroke sports 250 from a dealer."};
endfor;

That should make it sink in. Buy private and get a bike which will have had most of its issues dealt with (otherwise the current owner wouldn't've gotten very far on it), and which will offset its less-than-spiffy cosmetics with an asking price of the order of a couple of grand less compared to a dealer-bought bike.

I seriously doubt this board would allow you to write in PHP. Imagine the damage you could do.

I have to say I'm glad it didn't work. Seeing that statement 1000000 time would've been a bit annoying

Ummm, how could it have? It'd be a pretty lobotomised forum package which just slurped up and exceuted whatever code was passed to it in a posting. This quite apart from my syntax being pretty sloppy, anyway...

I dunno, not my area of expertise

pontikat, i-k was just referring to staying the hell away from dealers bearing 4 cyl 250cc sportsbikes. Be it for how the bikes are condition wise, or the condition of your wallet after buying one of those over-priced bastards (although not all dealers are (in)equal) ).

I beg to differ, on the qulity issue anyway.
$5K was prob a bit too much for my ZX2 but its in great nick.
supsensions a bit soft and there's a couple of stone chips that have been bogged up, but it rode really well on sunday.

it was advertised for $6,250 from spot on motorcycles on elizabeth st in melb.
i got it for under 6 with 12m reg, helmet, jacket and gloves.

they deal mainly with bigger bikes and got it on a trade in, they just wanted to get rid of it.

cheers, vince
