[Skins62]

Yes stands me at 1200 lads

[CaNsA]

I bought my running, recently rebuilt for 920...

[Skins62]

Obviously open to offers !,but I would rather keep it than let it go for peanuts

[CaNsA]

£300 quid, pick up during the week?

[Skins62]

Not a chance my friend I would rather it sit there to look at it stands me at 1200 so your ridiculous offer I have to turn down

[CaNsA]

Lets have a look at the facts...

You bought the bike
You spent money on the bike
You expect running bike prices for a non-running bike
You turn down offers for what it is worth.

GLWS.

a mint condition 1991 zxr400 is gonna run you to about ~£1500 sale value, so factoring in what needs doing for the plastics (£50 side + £100 front + £200 3-colour paint job), and that yours would need the wheels doing (£100) brings you to £1000 before you've even tackled why it wont run, say a few hundred quid for sundry pieces and unexpected problems, i dont think £300-500 is a bad asking price.

and ive even pm'd you ofering you advice, now i know your selling it after (basically) giving up, my offer of help no longer stands.

Thanks or your help guys

please do not insult my intelligence

That is not our intention.
We are just pointing out that you expect running bike money for a non-running bike.

if you give up within a week on them all, i can see why you are onto bike #43...

[Skins62]

O my god I've had this for 8 weeks I bought this bike after having skin cancer on the side of my face and having an op and 43 stiches ,I bought it to ride not to mess around with constantly ,so if you would like to keep your unfounded comets to yourself please ,also I've been riding for 35 years thanks
