I wouldn't called Smek's flogged. Far from it. Seen this bike and is very tidy as I am sure Mel's is. Smek is a pretty smooth fast rider which the 10r love

Oh and I forgot to mention, you'll need a blue slip to get an unregister bike reg in NSW. Take it from me, a pain in the arse.

You need every little stock part like the full rear guard, chainguard and so forth.

I'd never call smeks bike flogged. He's too busy checking his reflection in shop windows to go too fast :)

That's what I was hoping. I was just going off the sledging from the sale thread.
Lots to think about... :)

That's what I was thinking, but offering a ride-away price surely means they'll get it road-ready, no?
It's just becoming too difficult, plus with some of the bikes that've come to light here, it makes it look awfully painful in comparison.

Blue slip can be easy-as with the right mechanic! Pm me dude if you want a good contact I've blue slipped 2 bikes with, my 6 with led blinkers and no fender.

Crims are good but watch out for some gear box issues. That ones overpriced by about 3k I reckon. Mines got 20k on it is immaculate and i'd be ecstatic with 7.5 - 8.0 but realistically it's probably worth about 7.0. Good luck, they are the best of the 10's by a mile (in my opinion)

We have a crim and a 2010 bug and the bug is far superior.
