I commissioned this custom postie from a well known builder called
Champion Motorcycles, based in Abbotsford, Melbourne.. Sadly I never
got to ride it, whilst it was being built I found out I was moving
overseas, so the only km's on the clock are the test ride miles

"confused" is the poor flucker that shells out 5k for this!

[RjpRacingAustralia]

5k for a postie bike, whatever.i dont care how many times you polish a turd as its still a turd...

For all the Honda riders here is a chance to buy a bike for the EVO 125 class.

It has air cooling, no disc brakes and no linkage rear suspension (or is that no rear suspension).

Also it must be a Mugen machine it's white.

Bike can be viewed by appointment........FFS.....what a drongo

[Rossvickicampbell]

have to ask...........................why?

[Iain Cameron]

What can you say !!! except whom ever built it needs help .  Iain

[yamaico]

I certainly wouldn't be putting my name to that "custom underslung exhaust" that would point well into the ground when the bike's off the centrestand....

Here's another one, although it looks a lot better and is a lot cheaper, although there is no way it either would be in my garage

How do you get a $300 CT110? Start with a $1200 one!

I was in Darwin in 1989, and a stream of Japanese "adventure riders" were coming thru the caravan park we were in... step 1. buy a postie bike, step 2. buy a ts 185 petrol tank and bungee cord it to the down tube... step 3? ride down the Birdsville track... amazing.....

Located in the beer garden!!!
Wish I had thought of that, didn't know pubs were leasing the area's out

Prepped and ready to go !

Not sure how to work out the rear shock travel owing to none there.Looks multi adjustable to me (ride height only)

not only the japs buy old posties to see aussie, I remember working through a Friday lunch break to respoke a postie back wheel from the boxes of odd spokes we had for a german dude and charged him total time it took being a contract mechanic back then. I refused his $20 cash bonus as thought id freaced him enough so 3 months latter a m watch came over from Germany as his way of saying thanks which was better then the $20 they like to tie milk crates on the carrier and load them up plenty too I guess there a cheap sloowww way of seeing aussie but not for me
