Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

He has a couple of Ad's up right now. Typical boy racer cars, Celicas and TDI's that look completely ragged out of it and selling for a pittance. I don't trust the seller and I don't trust the bike. Even if its only a grand.
If I was looking at budget bikes, I'd go for something like this
This one makes me cry though. A 2007 from a Dealer for 2.3k and in good nick. Makes me wonder what the hell mine is worth.

:eek: seems crazy cheap to me. They're a great bike and it looks very clean.
When I looked at this thread first, I thought it was for 'bargains' that were really overpriced heaps of sh!te the seller had no hope of shifting! Would be a good idea for a thread
Scrap the cap!

This thread is destined to make us all realise that bikes are way over priced for what you get when compared to what you are seeing the bangernomics thread.0 -

I posted this in another thread but:

For a 2009 bike with only 12k km on the clock, it's very good value.

OK, not cheap, but one really nice looking machine. I reckon I'd be dead about 5 seconds after the turbo kicks in

Given that turbo bikes had low compression (to avoid detonation) and really crap throttle response when off the turbo, it'd give a great impression of speed when you did hit the power band
Wasn't long until they discovered turbos on bikes were far more trouble than they're worth.
Far easier and cheaper to just put a bigger motor in.
It only puts out a claimed 112bhp according to Wiki. It claims to be an 87 (they weren't produced that long, maybe was in storage) and only a few years later the likes of an early Fireblade would have blown it into the weeds.
Great looking bike though Scrap the cap!

The GPZ900 (as you probably know with your username) is the one to get. Was supposed to pretty much the same performance as the 750turbo even better than the 1000.
But the 750 turbo is the nicest looking imho.

Yeah it was the Top Gun bike I bought a 1990 (first year with no anti-dive and 17" front wheel) ten years ago which was a great bike, I still own it but it's been off the road for the last few years and I've never got around to sorting it out
Bit of a crap photo but it's the only one I have of the actual bike
The turbo is good looking but I think partly because we know it's so rare/exotic.
The GPz900R had less of an "80s" look about it so (imho) hasn't dated as much.
There were some pretty wacky guys in the German GPz owners club. ZZR1100 motors shoehorned in (actually not that hard, and some engine casings were the same!), turbos, nitrous... The UK owners club used to go over there every year and meet them for a mega booze-up, I was going to go one year but my back tyre had 3 plugged punctures and wasn't holding air, and 18" rears in that size were just unobtainable all over Europe that summer. People were ringing up Michelin and Pirelli begging them to run off another batch of 18" rears... Scrap the cap!
