Re: To Crim or not to Crim ???
No doubt in my mind, the ride i had made the decision for me, i am just being wary and cautious and just making sure i dont go blow my money on something!
It seems tho that no one has had any hugely negative comments against the crim as far as mechanical bits go so i reckon might have myself a crim within next few weeks!
Woot!
Plastic weld those holes i reckon!

Re: To Crim or not to Crim ???
yeah will have to somehow get a few snap shots but will be a bit hard meeting up at the DEC trying to find one & other amongst all the bikes
compare his 05 R1
all the bike magazines compared them & the ZX-10R won
Never know there may be some color you wanna do them LED's on the Gauge cluster like White or Blue with Red in the Redline section so maybe

Re: To Crim or not to Crim ???
If i got an Orange Crim, i dont think u will have any problem spotting it! Seeing as i saw only in the toy run last year!!
Has anyone had any frame crack problems with there crims ? I am going back down to hte bike shop today to suss it out, but it seems like quite a few people are having that issue and welding is not the answer!
hmmm

It's bullshit mate. Noone here has had problems. Perhaps if you slam it into a guard rail you'll have a problemSaki wrote:If i got an Orange Crim, i dont think u will have any problem spotting it! Seeing as i saw only in the toy run last year!!

Mines only got 18,000 k's on it but it's done a bit of everything including a couple of trips to the island over some shitty bits of road and I'm not worried about the frame falling apart. I absolutley love the bloody thing. They really are a sensational piece of gear.
It's really all about standing around drinking Dave's beer.

Re: To Crim or not to Crim ???
yeah its just stuff to research and i havent seen many problems! I was reading few reviews and the reason kawa updated the susp from the 04-05 is because the 04 was very unsettled!! All the more reason its a crim i say! Went back to the shop to show my mate and speak more on price and they have knocked it down to $10k just for me, its not something they are advertising! But its cause i am mates with the bloke in there!!
woot

Re: To Crim or not to Crim ???
Could be a good price, might be a good idea to check the history of the bike sometimes their a rideoff rebuild. Looks nice from those pics

Re: To Crim or not to Crim ???
Well i have inspected the bike very closely, and there doesnt seem to be any sign of repairs, infact i cant pick a mark that looks like it is out of place ???dupster wrote:Could be a good price, might be a good idea to check the history of the bike sometimes their a rideoff rebuild.

The clock says 6,700 and the service books are all upto date.... so its either been very well repaired, in which case it would be worth than what its worth or i am just picking up a bargain IMO!
