I don't think so?
« on: February 26, 2012, 12:44:39 PM »
OK here for sale in NZ is according to the blurb a Royal Enfield, but to me it looks suspiciously like a Yamaha XV or VX, anyone else want to hazard a guess?

I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

No no no, your all wrong.  It's a Bultaco that didn't make it into production.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

That starting bid converts to $6300 USD!  Is that the going rate in NZ for a 14 year old bike that's not currently running and has some cosmetic issues, or is this guy as far off on the value as he is on the make?

Just got an email from the guy, he is selling two bikes and got the photos mixed up, easy to do I guess when you don't know a Royal Enfield from a Yamaha. ;)
