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.

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
