2004 Suzuki GSX-R 1000

Photos: 8
Purchased: Sep 2008
Info: Bought this puppy after it having a flip with the previous owner. Replaced the subframe, tailpeice, rear rim, left hand side fairing panel, tail light, stator cover, cannister and clutch lever, and hey... she was good to go. All she needs now is a good sprayjob and some decals.

Purchased: Sep 2008
Info: This bike belongs to a friend of mine, he has long been looking for a Suzuki Bandit 1200, but when he saw this, and the good price it went for he immediately took it. He is extremely happy with it, and I must say, it really is a beast.

Info: This was my baby before the spray job and major overall, and after. Three sprayjobs later and several thousand ZAR, this is the result. Not to bad, I am quite pleased.

Purchased: Jun 1999
Sold: Dec 1999
Info: Ah, me NSR. I loved this bike, according to me these are the best 250´s ever built. Now I know that alot of people will differ with me about this, but this bike gave me no problems at all, never even ran out of gas on me, and she went like a rocket!

2001 Kawasaki ZX-6R

Photos: 2
Purchased: Sep 2004
Sold: Jul 2006
Info: Well well well. I would have never thought I would ride a Kawasaki. Well, came across this one at a bike shop in pretty bad shape. Had a frontend. How bad it could be I dont know, cause I am still using the same bottom fairings, front light, screen, mirrors and mirror bracket from before the accident. Got it for a next to nothing, and I have completely fallen in love with it... Goes like a rocket,
1997 Honda VFR 750

Photos: 2
Purchased: Feb 2007
Sold: Dec 2007
Info: Well, this was ur run of the mill RC36 up until the previous owner found out how bad the front brakes on these were, and smashed it into a car. I bought it for cheap with very low mileage (17000km), replaced the tripple clamps and forks with ZX-R750 upsidedown units, and the brake discs, calipers and master cylinder come straight off a Blackbird. I fitted aftermarket handlebar risers to it, aswell
