That's right boys and girls!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Bye bye spuzuuuki (altho she is a great bike!) the Ninja is coming to town! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

2008 ZX6R Special Edition.

9000k, red key, 2 black keys and books.

I'm doing the "repairable writeoff gamble" again :lol:

It's in Melbourne at Pickles Auctions, and is banged up ,and I haven't crossed the bridge yet on how to get it here. ;) )

I've done this before successfully and I know the risks, I think this was a bargain, and Glen has the exact road gear for her! (THANKS GLEN!)

As far as I can tell so far from pictures, descriptions, and Tape checking it out ( THANKS TAPE!) the extra things I'll be after will be a TANK(unless I can fix this one), MIRRORS(s), refarbicating/buying a speedo BRACKET plus the inevitable 'unexpecteds'.

Anyways, I'm patiently and reservedly chuffed.... I test rode exactly this bike last week - MUMMA it's nice 8)

:D

ps.... can anyone transport a Ninja from Melbourne to Sydney? ;)

Great buy Tim, Another 08 6r on the road. yeh hello2.gif hello2.gif

Good luck with the rebuild. Good score with Glen having the road fairings for you.

While rebuilding her you should move your rear brake reservoir to under the seat, make a cleaner rear end. :D
