Comments from the seller

Thanks for looking at my ad, I’ll try to keep it short but I will just tell the story. I owned one of these bikes brand new in 1998, half my lifetime ago & just had to have this when I saw it, being totally original & not messed up with peoples own personality - except for the exhaust cans which thump just perfectly (have originals) I paid $6,500 for the bike on the 02/11/24. I spent $1,000 on new tyres & chain & road worthy. Then I spent $175 joining the red plate club for historic rego which then made my VicRoads transfer fees & rego & plate $107.50 So this is where I’m at, I road it home (100km) & it has sat in my shed since, but I finally took it out today 03/03/25. Perfect day, great ride, loved it & it will be a regrettable sale but I simply don’t have the time to enjoy it & I live in kangaroo country & on a dirt road, I can think of better ways to leave this earth !! I will have the bike fully detailed, rwc & registered for its new owner. Inspection & test ride will not disappoint, for being 27 years old it’s a credit to all previous owners to have kept this very rare bike in such amazing condition. Contact me anytime to see if this is going to be your toy. Oh one more thing I do have to offer for your consideration, I have matching personalised matching number plates for bike & car, that’s right, you can have the same plate on your bike & car side by side in the garage, looks great, unfortunately VicRoads stopped this from being available since 2012, only existing plates are still aloud. So the plates say ERASE, make of that what you will. They are available for purchase with or without this bike for the same price as the bike $7,500 or lets make a deal where everyone’s happy ?! Sorry I’ve only put one photo but will happily send more or videos on request, thanks Cam 👍🏻
