Ghosty Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 On 12/3/2020 at 11:31 PM, Ghosty said: Christ that's rough. 900 isn't far off the mark, but considering shagged paint, need for a new rear bumper, and suspicious messy black sill ends that suggest it could have been bodged or welded badly, I'd think that's more a £650 example. However - importantly, it appears to be a manual. If it was an auto it'd probably get bought to break for parts - hell, it might anyway. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-Civic-classic-1989-89000-miles-on-the-clock-sound-mechanics/333816876743?hash=item4db9094ec7:g:vLcAAOSwJX5fzhWK The seller clearly has no idea how to eBay as they've added a whole another listing for this car, purely to add four photos, one of the rear bumper, two of the sills, and one of the driver's seat bolster. This confirms my suspicions that it's fucked - it needs sills, tyres, upholstery, a rear bumper and trim panel, and probably a cambelt. And what's the betting it HGFs too... However it also confirms it's a manual, which is pretty much its only saving grace. The price has changed too, it's gone from 900 BIN/offers, to 700 auction/1000BIN. 700 is top dollar for it as it needs a fuckton spending on it to make it good. The MOTs being clean as they are is absurd. scdan4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scdan4 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 The superblackbird was hard to beat, chiefly because it’s genuinely brilliant and epically fast, so close yet so far from the magic 200mph enter the hayabusa - named after a blackbird eating bird of prey. very marmite looks and styling but who gives a shit when you have the first faster than 200mph bike who cares. Hugely fun to ride, akin to sitting on top of a controllable volcano. You just decide where you want the speedo to point and it just rotates there, boom. Will hit limiter in top gear, 212 apparently (from memory) Amusingly they take a turbo so well it’s an off the shelf bolt on kit. 450bhp achievable for the brave https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124466737536 £3850 / 212 = £18 per mph.

Could very well be absolute bollocks, but a mate of mine back in the day had a friend who sent his ZZR 1100 to be tuned. The fella supposedly told him if it didn't do 200mph he could have his money back, and allegedly it did. scdan4, Burnside and Barry Cade 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scdan4 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 But although Suzuki got 200mph first they didn’t get the fastest bike. Kawasaki was also desperate to win the 200 race. and they did it, and if the road was long enough it was faster than the busa. Game on. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254796515724 Full power unmolested version looking like £1500. No one else is likely to bid in anger, experience tells me that they are hard to sell in the summer.

scdan4 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Then the fun police got involved and everyone stopped playing before it was all banned. The generation 2 bikes were slower, third gen slower again, get an early one. Everything else had to pootle about at a paultry 181mph. this agile little slipper came on the scene with the amusing party trick of 0mph to the 181mph limiter and back to zero in 30 seconds.
