Okay, I've read a bunch of posts on this 'Team Crim' and I'm a little confused. This may be because I'm a wee bit meaty in the forehead region, but nonetheless I've come to the following conclusions about Team Crim:
a) They ride ZX9s
b) They ride ZX10s
c) They ride Mina
Which of the above is true? I've read variants of all of the above!
Also, how did 'Team Crim' develop?
I'm bored and need some lore to keep me going on this amazing Thursday morning.

a) is incorrect
b) is correct...'04/05 models to be precise
c) doesn't everyone?
Pontikat came up with the name Crim for the '04/05 ZX10R after test riding one not long after they were released. Something about being criminal bikes because you couldn't help but ride them like a criminal. When I got mine I asked the guys to make me Team Crim (the first I think) and it's gone on from there. The Titanium Crim gets the extra distinction of being the Smooth Crim because of the highly desirable, very attractive and unique finish to the paint

...oh yeah, I should also add that there is a little Crim that also goes on all my road trips and gets himself in a few of the photos

Sunsequently, after test riding the 06/07 ZX10 Ponti decided to term it "grumby' - I think because he has troubles with normal words

It's Gumby (sometimes Gumpy), not grumby, and it was because of the look the headlights gave the front of the bike. The special name was reserved for the Golden Gumby for the yellow ones

The Bloke at Team Homo where i test rode the 04 told me they call them Crims cause if you hang out with one long enough you're sure to go to Jaol !.
"I was so impressed i bought the company. !"
Gumby for the 06-07 .... its' green, its magical & it's got one of the ugliest heads i've ever seen..
I was a Sociology student in the Mid 80's those feckers have made up a word for everything so ..............
