Busa offered for magic beans

I always have a little giggle at the phrase “barn find”

I’d have considered a barn find to be something you found in a barn you recently bought and the previous owner forgot about.

12K for a bunch of busted Honda 50/90s isn’t a find. It’s a “I don’t have time for these restoration projects”

Nope, but you're close.
A bit more sought after.
Negotiations haven't started yet but was told it'll be normal price, not covid price.
Nothing guaranteed yet though.

Surely they wouldn't get 5000 tickets sold for that, even at 3 quid!

If they sell 4000 they keep the bike and have €1000 for their troubles.

I’d never raffle a bike nor partake in one. It’s another way of saying they can’t sell the bike at the price they want in the normal way. Waste of time

The story of this bike keeps getting better, never taxed since being vrt'd, so no log book and you'll be the poor gob****e paying back tax.

Did this last month with an ex UK DRZ400. Guy had paid the VRT in December, and has a couple of off-road bikes so was only using it in a Forest beside him.
As advised by a friend (who used to work in Dept of transport in Shannon) we filled in an RF200, crossed out the top bit where it says "only for vehicles 1st registered pre '93", and sent it off to Shannon with a nice note asking them to contact either myself or the previous owner if they had any problems.
3 days later the bike showed up on motortax.ie as having changed ownership and I was able to tax it online from the start of April (the month in which I purchased the Bike) and received both the VLC and Tax Disc 2 days later.

On a change of ownership tax is only due from the date of change. Is it different on an import that's never been taxed?

mgbgt1978

No. It's exactly the same.
You cannot be liable for tax on something you don't own.
I was just putting the record straight as some people seem to think otherwise.

Why does this have black plates xD
Irish motorcycle plates have very little in terms of regulations, but you could be technically pulled over for this one.


My Dad's mate got pulled over for his being too small, and apparently being told the Garda should have gone to spec savers wasn't the correct answer to why he couldn't read it properly

I suppose some guards turn a blind eye or may not know that anything from 1987 on should have white plates.

I was told my 86 is obliged to have white plates because it’s not a ZV reg, this from a guy I tried buying black/silver plates from but he refused to do it after seeing the reg number

That's got to be a misprint. Surely you'd pick up a bike like that for £1500 across the water.

If it's even barely running it's one of the cheapest bikes on DD for ages.

Pity he's not sure what model it is

Sold within 20 hours.
It was a '93 Kawasaki KLX250R. Road registered. Asking €500.
From looking at the photos it needed a seat cover (€20)and some aliexpress Graphics (€14).
Everything seemed to be complete, so assuming it ran OK all it may have needed was a service and Brake overhaul.

"Must be herd"

A lot of motorbike ads suffer from very poor spelling and grammar.

Depends what it needs.
There was a lovely one sold for 2200 recently.
You mightn't be to far off that money if it needs a sprag clutch and various bits on top of getting it in decent shape.
