Someone posted earlier this week about how much it would cost to build a BIRD using genuine Honda parts - cost was stupid

Now it occured to me.......

How much would it cost if it was built from parts bought off ebay

Anyone fancy producing a "build list" - then we can start sourcing and pricing bitz of ebay

Bet we could build one for less than ?2K

Cost for parts would be around ?1,000 squid..... the postage would be about ?25,000..........

Why go to all this trouble? As I said in the initial post, my 97 69k mile Bird is available with a free tank of fuel for ?40k, about ?25k/?30k below the cost of building a new one using parts from Honda.


I don't know, I'm giving it away at this price and still no interest!

Theres a blue BB at lings lowestoft with 10k miles on it for ?5199. Looks in good nick, got a few extras. 2001 plate. Extras that I could see (no hugger) may have autocom/simular, the leads and a PTT button. Thought about upgrading as mines now done 20k.... but its the wrong colour.... If anyone interseted post a new thread and I'll pick it up.

ROFLAMO!!

a] He didn't give me an invoice - it was err...err.....err.....a gentlemens "agreement"

b] He's considerably bigger and quicker than you

c] He's got new trainers so he can run even faster

d] At least some of us have bikes - Mr Pedestrian

Funny as fook though!!
