I'm looking for a cheaper bike in between getting another busa or a zx-14. Found a 1998 VTR1000 firestorm with staintunes, 50,000k, in black for 7000.
Its out of rego though. What would you guys offer the bloke. http://allclassifieds.com.au/c/ac?a=vm&i=1940787367 I reckon 6000 tops. Suggestions???

It's a week by week charade.

Lol, I found his username and a post regarding the sale of his bike on ozfirestorm. Anyway, I found out it actually has like 73,000km on it rather than the 50,00km he quoted to me on the phone. So obviously he has wound the odometer back. Saw something on their about replacing the instrument cluster so it sounds like he's wound it back.
What would you guys offer to him with 73,000km on the clock. In his other posts he seemed like he took good care of it. Just can't stand liars. I'd say 5000k tops now with 73,000 and no rego.

Thanks for the suggestions guys...i'll put the offer to him as seriously as I can. If he says no, I couldn't give a f***, i'm not in a rush & thats all its worth in its current condition.

You got game mentioning thinkin of getting a zx14 hahha I was there once,an mentioned getting a busa on a zx14 board an got toasted haha,an then the kwak dealer ended up being the biggest cocksmoker i ever met so i didnt care even if it was the better bike,i aint getting one an would rather spend the money to make my busa THE better bike. Nothing a hairdryer wont fix sooner or later...

You know its seriously tempting to get one of those beautiful 07 blue busa models at like 15,000 & slap a big ass turbo on it. Ofcourse it would be excessive but i reckon the thrills in the summertime would be worth it!
 I will have another busa eventually....i just know it, was the first bike that truly had the full package. I think when the 08 model matures and shit...and they bring out some better colours, i'd get one and pour money into it...hehe NEMESIS Wrote:copperjosh Wrote:I'm looking for a cheaper bike in between getting another busa or a zx-14.

Josh...
It all sounds pretty dodgey to me... I'd be inclined to look for another bike. Good luck Peter

I offered that guy 5500 bux for the VTR1000 and he replied "no i want more than that"
With 73,000km and no rego you gotta be kidding. & its a 98 model. I said...then goodluck with the sale...lol

Good weather, good woman, good road, good bike, good-bye!!

Mate, I just sold a mint condition black 2003 Firestorm with staintunes, polished rims, bagster tank cover, carbon fibre rear hugger and belly pan with 15,000 on the clock for $8,500 with no rego. I sold it for a realistic price whereas most VTRs on offer are HUGELY overpriced.
What people selling their VTRs don't realise is that dealers are actually selling the bikes for $10,990 brand spankers. The best offer I got from a dealer was $5,000 (coz I was fleecing him on a new busa) and he told me to sell it privately to get more money. Considering the fact that it's the old model (crappy instrument cluster, small fuel tank), this bloke's absoloutely dreaming. BTW, you've gotta watch the cam chains I think it is - when they get a bit of age on them, the rear one can go pop. Actually come to think of it, I sold my bike to a guy in Canberra...
