First the tecate is really hard to find parts for, the R is faster, better looking, EASY to find parts. And the tecate 4's really aren't as fast as an R

as a tecate guy it's hard for me to say this but keep the R. oem parts really arent that hard to find for the T4 but their resale value is almost zero. I have seen very nice ones for 8-1200 and they don't sell. aftermarket upgrades seem to just not exist for it either

Indeed,,that's what I cannot understand.. they aren't worth Anything!! I would think Kawi guys would drool all over them as a rare machine.. But yes,,$1200 for a mint one,,and it goes nowhere...

ya im not going to trade it. i just got it back and i didnt want to let it go first time i got rid of it and the highest ive ever seen a t4 go for is around 1500obo. i have a 350x that needs a little work i might trade instead if he's interested but it has to be a real nice t4
