G'day all, Ok my brother inlaw is turning 50 in 2 weeks and my sister has left me the task of finding a bike for him in that amount of time, she wants to get him a Kwaka 650, 900 or 1000, not a newbie but something around the $1500 mark as that's all she can afford, failing that she wants to get him a 750 honda, FARK THAT, i'd rather see her in a whore house than a family member on a Honda Yuck Blech Retch Puke, i'm looking for a J model or similar, you know an Eddie Lawson relica wanna be bike, paint not important just the mechanical side has to be good, if anyone can help please PM me or ring me on 0407 878 969 so long as it's rideable i'll pick the thing up and ride it back to Mildura, the bike is going to live in Adelaide SA if that helps, if you know of one there even better, thanks all.

$1500 doesn't get a heck of a lot for a bike I suggest Les, might be best buying a repairable writeoff from Fowles and then spend some time working on it as a project...

I'd be suprised if you get anything thats reg and ridable for $1500

There is a nice J modle zxr750 on ebay but is $3000 I think



















$1500 will get a week of Bretts mum though :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Does anyone here really think I care whether this guy gets a bike??????, for 30 years he's been telling me Jap bikes are shit an he'd never own one, Harley's the only bike he'd ever own again.
I think my sister will have the fact it's a jap bike thrown back in her face and she will wear the embarrasment of it in front of the whole party, he's an unappreciative prick as far as i'm concerned, anyone else would just luv the hell out of her just for the thought, not this arsehole, still she's my sister and i'll do my best.

Well look for it, but make sure your Sis knows, that way she's been forewarned (this presumes that from the sounds of it she's blissfully unaware anyhow).

Failing that if he goes off at her about it being a shit bike, tell him to go f*k himself as he's an unappreciative wart on the arse of the family.

Thank christ no one in my family or my gf's one is that much if a c*nt (that i've met at least that is.....)
