Post by: runutz698 on July 10, 2009, 06:48:53 am: it has 2500 buy it now price!!!! With reserve not met. People who have a buy it now price and reserve they are normally the same. So at that price counts me out. Still looks the part though the rear shocks are very straight up and down and make the bike look a little wierd.

Post by: All Things 414 on July 10, 2009, 07:30:15 am: Everything's great in hindsight isn't it? A could have had a very nice VF 250 a few years ago for 2G (sorry Greg. That's how much he offered it to me for in 2004 :-X). Now this thing shows up. I could have had the whole collection! But I'm selling, not buying.

I think whoever bought it wouldn't want to ride it a lot. I think unless you had some 'special' friends in Spain, parts would be murder. That rear sprocket alone makes me shudder. :-\

It does all seem to be there though and assuming you could freight it for under $1000.00 I think it's a bargain.... ;)

Post by: runutz698 on July 10, 2009, 10:16:25 am: Well Ross I will swap you a very very nice example of a VF250 for the 414 if you like LOL, But I would remove the safetysign side cover and make another from plastic with no writting on it for you. !!!

Post by: All Things 414 on July 12, 2009, 08:54:38 am: I think I must have just had an 'out of body experience'.
I'm sure Carole just walked into the room, looked at that VF125 and said "Gee that looks pretty good. Why didn't you buy it?" ???
I'm off to belt myself with a large piece of wood......

Mainfreight would be a good option as they have depots here in NZ & Aussie, as it is at the top of the south it's a short trip to Wellington & on a plane to you.

Post by: paul on July 14, 2009, 02:44:52 pm: gator what happened i thought you bought it
Title: Re: VF125 anyone?
Post by: Heikki360 on July 14, 2009, 02:48:46 pm: If you click on the "new" next to his handle "suz125" and look at his profile you will see that he is indeed a Paul from Australia. I appreciate that there may be more than one Paul in Australia, no reference intended. Was not trying to wind anyone up, jeez....

As for the price, just scroll down to the Q&A where the vendor confirms it is in fact sold to suz125 for $2500.
Title: Re: VF125 anyone?
Post by: All Things 414 on July 14, 2009, 02:51:31 pm: Yeah Gator bought it. That's good. I know where it is now. Nice and close. I'll wrestle it off him later........ ;)
