different 10's

[matt76]

So i know you guys love your crims, and seem to favour them over the 05/06 models, why is that and how did thay all get their nicknames?

I have my eye on an 06

[red_dave]

To clarify year models:

04/05 = Crim
06/07 = Gumby
08 on = Bug (i think)

[Saki]

Its been covered many a times,

Crim = Cause u end up in gaol if you ride one. short for criminal
Gumby = looks like a playdoh man a.k.a gumby
Bug = looks like a bug!

[Six Addict]

crim looks ok and apparently is a beast to ride..... personally i dont like the front lights....
gumby always seems to get bagged out.... does look a bit too swoppy looking like a hyabusa....
bug i reckon will be a shit hot bike...... i could easily forgive it the ugly pipe and the weird indicator position.....

u couldnt go wrong with either i reckon.....

Crim is a beast to ride
Gumby is fun but not as fun as crim
Bug yet to try out! but next few weeks!

[matt76]

So apart from looks I hear a few people complaining about the handling of the gumby? Surely still a very good bike though?

[ttc]

Still better than any Honda

[matt76]

I dont think anything would handle as good as my Honda It would be nice to get back on the road again though. How was your ride the other day, I forgot to msg you back sorry

[Saki]

:P I dont think anything would handle as good as my Honda It would be nice to get back on the road again though. How was your ride the other day, I forgot to msg you back sorry

I didnt thnk the gumby handled that badly, no where near as fast as the crim! but still nothing to complain about

[Blurr]

I I have recently ridden a crim and really didnt find the handling all the different. Admittly the sus. wasnt set up for my weight but still not that different.

I have heard the bug is skinny like the gsxr but yet to confirm.

[Dyno]

gumby is too fat, and doesn't have that sexy factor.

crim got it all power, sex appeal and nice lines.

bug wait to see it in the flesh.

[hoffy]

The Gumby is my fave of the lot, feels well planted..the Crim was too flighty !!

Ive had a good look at Smek's Gumby, and it's the Shizzle Dog !

[brendanzxr]

what about blur's sexc gumby hoffy

[dave#3]

bug wait to see it in the flesh.

It's worse in the flesh than in the photos. I'm become quite partial to the gumby recently, although I'd want a side-pipe conversion. I'd never buy one for the road, though, and can't justify one for the track.

I have to disagree with you mate, this black one looked very nice today...
