If one was looking for mid-cost bike (circa $6,000) then there are some decent bargains to be had.<BR/><BR/>This is due to Easties having a bigger market with more competition between people selling bikes.<BR/><BR/>Just don't forget the insurance...Dr Neo Laohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15999712948059124532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785573708847456487.post-20992995857242461942009-04-08T16:46:00.000+08:002009-04-08T16:46:00.000+08:00Ok, the e-bay bit _was_ a joke, but hey - next tim...Ok, the e-bay bit _was_ a joke, but hey - next time I'm in the market for a motorbike I'll know where to start... :-pSarahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785573708847456487.post-54509931477675646742009-04-04T21:57:00.000+08:002009-04-04T21:57:00.000+08:00*slaps forehead*Thanks for pointing that one out -...*slaps forehead*<BR/><BR/>Thanks for pointing that one out - picked up a copy of the Quokka earlier today.<BR/><BR/>I did have a look around eBay. There is a good range of decent priced bikes over in the Eastern States but once you add in the $1,000 odd dollars to ship the bike over here then it isn't as much of a bargain.<BR/><BR/>I'll keep hunting around looking for a cheap-ish entry-level bike.Dr Neo Laohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15999712948059124532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785573708847456487.post-4617962413902297032009-04-03T16:53:00.000+08:002009-04-03T16:53:00.000+08:00Don't they sell motorbikes on E-Bay? :-pHave you t...Don't they sell motorbikes on E-Bay? :-p<BR/>Have you tried the quokka or auto trader? Or the West on a Saturday?<BR/><BR/>And... you're right. Trying to build it yourself is a bad idea - even if you are a fully qualified mechanic. I'm just thinking of those who share a living room with you - they don't need spare parts all over the floor and grease on the carpet - and face it - you know thats where it will end up. For months. Or maybe years...Sarahnoreply@blogger.com
