Oh dear.......

I sold Carol;s  beloved Triumph Bonneville . Ten years and 100,000kls from new (all hers ,trouble free from new )she said  it was time for something lighter .
She got $4000 cash and someone got a very good bike .Trouble is ''''''''''''in less than 24 hrs i spent the 4 grand on something for myself .
I couldn't help it ,it was looking at me calling my name so i bought it . Yes its another bike ,it was $4000 and its got a FUCKING GIVI on the back .
Any guesses ?

CB750?

You'll need the Givi for all your worldly possessions when Carol finds out 

She knows , I told her " it will only increase in value dear' .
Nothing "old school  ' year is 1998 I think and its not my usual Suzuki Brand or  a Honda .

Kwakka zephyr?

ZZR1100

BMW R1100GS

Top box looks awesome Gus

Smart ass , I'll sell it to you cheap then .  I'll also make you a pair of underpants out of the dead sheep on the seat .

You can never have enough twins in your life. 

Nice reliiable Italian engineering.

If you were closer I'd buy the Givi off you.

are you talking Givi or Ducati there Re-Cycled

If it was the newer "less boxy" Givi I'd buy it as well, my only regret is not going bigger with the Top Box

Excuse my ignorance Gus, what model of Duc are we talking?

It looks like a 900SS but I could be wrong, Gus?

Nice find Gus ..............& that box on the back will come in real handy 

I think someone forgot to bolt it together - looks like it's together with cable ties.

is it a st3 or 4
either way supposed to be a decent bike

The V46 is not macho enough for the VStrom boxy is what is required. Boxy with aluminium panels... even better.

Ducati st4?

900SS for sure, probably about 1998?

Top marks Ewok , 900ss  that's about all I know . I started it once then went back to another project .I have drunk a few beers looking at it though .

I bought this for $200 yes $200 . The gearbox was stuffed but the idea was to repair it . After pulling it down and with 160,000 kls on the clock it wasn't viable . (and I own 2 already ) .It went well just no 4th or fifth gear .

I grabbed all the parts I wanted and advertised the rest .$200 never looked so good .

I'm amazed at what you keep finding Gus.

Also I bought this in a pile of bits for $1000 , needed a seat $50 and exhaust $70 and a paint job $20 (rattle cans )
It was great fun to ride but a 100kl trip was a mission . Sold it to the same guy who bought Carols Triumph .
They ask big money for these things , I tripled my money and it still was $2000 cheaper than the average . Would have liked to keep it but I live out bush , nothing is close .
Anyone notice something missing ?
