Can possibly deliver bikes to surrounding areas if required.įeel free to email us at using the button below if you need any further info. We'll arrive in London in approximately 1 month. Not a bad return on investment from our original 200. Although it is a great bike, it just isn t the ideal candidate for a cafe racer conversion. Interested in offers for one or both bikes. Well after much discussion it was decided that the Postie bike needed to go. We would love to take them back with us but shipping is unaffordable - we hope instead they'll go to a good home. These bikes are well traveled but have served us admirably over the past 20 months traveling through some rather inhospitable environments. Electrical work will need to be done to ensure all lights etc function properly.īike 2 has new engine number listed on registration document but capacity is still listed as 110cc. Both bikes run well but will need rings done shortly. Racks and guards may require some welding/ straightening. Both bikes have front racks, engine guards and crash bars. Small piece of frame plastics has been cut to accommodate carb.īoth bikes have custom made pannier racks installed (believe these were made by Australia Post)and lockable ammunition canisters on the back (fit a 15 inch laptop nicely). Seat has been replaced with a longer home-made fibreglass seat. Running aftermarket carb and air filter (original airbox is still in place but converted to a tool box.) Side stand has a larger footing welded on.īike 2 is a 1986 CT110 with a Zongshen 140cc 4-speed manual engine.Įngine has done 35, 000km, total bike kms unknown. Handlebars replaced with multi-adjustable bars.įront and rear indicators replaced (Enfield at the front). It is a 4 speed semi auto with original parts aside from the following: We then use that money to purchase a ‘classic’ which we will restore/customise and hopefully get registered on the club permit scheme.My partner and I are nearing completion of an overland motorcycle ride from Australia to Europe and will soon need to part with our beloved Honda CT110s.īoth bikes have Australian plates and registration documents.īike 1 is a 2008 CT110 with just under 80, 000km on the clock. We sell the Postie bike as is (which is in great condition really) on ebay. Which brings us around to the new grand plan. Our postie is a 1999 model, so far too new. The catch is, the scheme is for classic vehicles – meaning they need to be 25 years old. We’d be lucky to use the bike that much – so it sounds perfect. For around $60, you can get a log book which allows you to use the vehicle for 45 day/year. We did however discover that Victoria has a great Club Permit scheme for classic vehicles. Hardly up for an hour cruise through the hills on the weekend. Plus we’d need to get a road worthy certificate (at least $100 if everything is OK).Īnd while purchasing parts to modify the bike aren’t that big a factor, at the end of the day we’ll still only have a 110cc postie bike. Motorcycle registration in Victoria is expensive (about $350 for the postie). After the intial excitement of purchasing the postie, cleanining it up, and surfing the net for customisation ideas wore off, the reality of costs involved in registering and modifying the bike hit home.
