Auction Day

Finally after a 1 month wait, the damaged motorcycle auction has arrived. Three very interesting bikes. 1- 2003 Honda CBR1100 xx 2 - 1999 Yamaha R1 3- 2005 Kawasaki ninja ZX10R. Unfortunately the ZX10R was sold for $4300, which was way out of budget. the CBR was in the best shape with only the front fork damaged. I was the highest bidder for the CBR with a price of $ 3000, but i canceled it after thinking 3000 bucks was way too much. In the end i landed up with the Yamaha for $1300, a pretty good bargain. A very good bike to start off with, especially considering the price.
