What & Buy a hoonda

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!

Awesome Saki hope you do end up getting the Crim you'll never look back unless you look back in the rear vision mirror & see all the bikes behind you

Yeah! I still have the old dash LEd light convertion sitting in the back of the mind like i was gunna come up and do to the 636 with ya, but if i get this orange one maybe there is no need... maybe white would like nice!

Also this year at the toy run we should get all the tassie crew together and meet up at the dec! get some nice snaps!

My mate today has been trying to compare his 05 R1 with me and telling me its better!!! We shall see

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

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

Get a 12 man....these 10's are just Girly Bikes !!

It's bullshit mate. Noone here has had problems. Perhaps if you slam it into a guard rail you'll have a problem No doubt if you slam it into something it'll come apart because they're relatively light but I'd say no more than any other modern sports bike.

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.

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

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

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 ???
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!
