Hey dezz that queer colour that Charles' bike came in looks real different under certain lights. It's a weird pearlescent blue. In the day it's metallic aqua...under unnatural light it's dark blue...and depending on angle, up close, it looks purple lol. Definitely nabbed himself a bargain either way, that slip on is worth ~$800 alone.

Yeah queer color or not he got an awesome price for the year/kms.. The guy he bought it off must've realized he was hetrosexual after all, and therefore had to sell.

Funny you mention it though, a guy at work was telling me this morning that one of the other apprentices is selling his blue ninja 250 for $3500... It's an 09 model and didn't ask how many kms, but he said it's been dropped, so not ideal...especially come re-sale time for me

Bike looks good in person, color looks heaps better than pics show

Yer but mine looks similar to 04-08. The biggest change for R1 was in 09, which I'm not a huge fan of. Even then it's only really the headlight assembly + slight change to front fairings lookswise. The rest of the bike looks basically the same!

Hanging for a bike manufacturer to do some radical changes to their bikes, like Kwaka did with the new Ninja.

Why do people expect to pay the same as USA for cars? Granted we pay too much but it should cost more here simple supply and demand just not 5 times as much lol

Not expecting the same, but also not expecting nearly twice the price either. May not get under 40k for the base model, and with Subaru only bringing in the top spec model that will be close to a WRX.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
