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.

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
