Kawasaki Triples Club

Just wondered....is good old fjk222frank a KTC member? Can I suggest that he is made a lifetime honourary member?
Anyone who is instrumental in pushing the value of a decent condition H2 up to the £20k mark by the end of 2014 must surely be worthy of this acolade? The way it's going, that's where the values are heading - and when people have got used to seeing such prices it'll be accepted as the norm'. Crazy!

Good on him......or perhaps not?!!!

I think Frank was a member!

In my experience he is a decent bloke and far more honourable than others that I could mention.
His prices are in a bubble.Don't even think for a minute that you could achieve a similar price for your bike by selling it yourself.
His bikes are generally overpriced by at least 50% in my opinion... and that is being generous to him.

And what has a bike's value to do with it's worth , or the worth and honour of it's owner. .?







Or is that too deep. For the shallow."WallStreet". Mentality. that. Has burst out like an std. Since. Classic bikes became an alternative. To. Stocks , shares or house prices. ???

Unfortunately it`s called market forces.

Wanting to buy bad.
Wanting to sell good.

Maybe he is just a shrewd businessman that prices the bikes as he does to achieve exactly this sort of result and get people talking about him ?

He is very unlikely to ever get the sort of prices he advertises at - but for sure everyone knows of him .....maybe that attracts enough punters that buy enough to keep him in business ?

Did I mention I have a Z650 for sale at £25,000 BTW - it's the best in the UK ...................... honest ...

at the end of the day

who decides what they are worth ?

its a long time since they were sold new

if thats the price then take it or leave it

i believe that the h2 will be the vincent of our generation which is great because i have 20 of them

20 Greedy bugger

Whoosh. Arrow over the heads again.

Let me put it another way. An Honourary Member is usually assessed as to his contribution to the Club , then maybe the marque in general ? Monetary values do not contribute to HONOUR .
Anyone grasp it now ?

Or am I truly living in the past ???!!!

Yes and you went to grammar school

now your talking

Oh 'eck, I wasn't trying to evoke a serious thread here - and I certainly didn't want to appear to be slating anyone who puts a high price on a bike ....after all it's everyone's right to try and sell something for whatever price they feel like. What I was actually thinking, is that as prices for triples in the £15 - £20k bracket become commonplace, then a decent example priced at about £12k will seem an absolute steal. Nowt wrong with that I reckon!

I'm gonna get back to my polishing now!!

Yeah you do that you`ve caused enough trouble.

I'll go and stand in the naughty corner for a few minutes. It's a good view of my bikes from there.

would he be a town member or a country member, i dont remember

Neil, if you hit the space bar twice on an iPad it puts a full stop in for you. Hope that helps!

Thanks Bill. I`ll bear that in mind !

Yep, same as an I phone.

Thanks Rog. off at a tangent here , I got this. I Pad secondhand , from a bloke in the pub < !! Yeah, sounds dodgy , but is was fine once I'd wiped the blood off. he really didn't want to let go ! )

not sure why , but I tend to keep off buying trendy brand gear. Maybe thinking you always just pay for the badge rather than performance. My favourite mobile phone was the old flip-top Motorola razor. Probably because it looked like a star trek communicator. So when they brought out a smartphone razor , I was down the O2 shop demanding one. Buggers weren't having it, tried to push me onto an HTC or whatever. so got it via their website . loved it, but managed to drop it down the bog within a month. Knacked !! ( don't ask !). So , conforming to the norm now with a Samsung.

Long way to say I don't use an I Phone !!!
