The choice

Im thinking about replacing my motard with another street bike, a few of you might remember that i used to stunt a 600rr, then changed to a motard.

I love stunting the motard, its alot of fun, but i hate the need to trailer it everywhere, i loved how easy it was with the RR to just get on, ride to the local spot and stunt, plus it was nice and quiet, i cant ride the local spot on the motard because its too loud i have to go to another spot 40mins away!!

So ive have a few opitions, my friend has a CBR600 F2 that he may sell for 2k, i could get atleast 6k for the motard, so thats an opition, i also have a friend that may trade his 05 636 for the motard, but it is damaged and would need quite a big repair (frame is twisted, front rim bend, few other lil bits and pieces)

Im just really unsure on what to do, because i hardly use the motard at the moment and its not really justifyable having it, would much rather something street legal

any advise?

Re: The choice

if you hardly use the motard, it's too loud and you like rollin up to the spot. there is no question, buy a bike but I wouldn't do any of the options above. i'd get a straight 636 or another comparable cheater bike. what, they are fun!

Re: The choice

ive tried make it quiet, spent alot of $$$ on exhaust mods, i think its the type of noise, the thumping, echos off everything.

and i cant make it street legal, if it was the crf450x model i would be, but not the R

Re: The choice

636 are about 11k for a decent one
F4i's are about 9k
954's and 929's are about the same 9k-10k
F2's and F3's are about 4k to 6k, but im getting a sweet hook up.

www.trademe.co.nz is like the New zealand version of ebay, just take a look there and you can see some of the prices

Holy **** lol. Those prices are ****** nuts. I figured for 6k you could get a decent deal. If homies willing to trade for the 636 I would probably go that route and put a few dollars into it for repairs, depending on whats fucked. actually just read the first post and read you need a new frame and other **** Sucks prices are so ****** high there

Re: The choice

after riding a fuel injected 600 and a minty motard you will absolutely hate the carburated f2 and getting a new frame for your buddies 636 is gonna be expensive as hell , maybe you can find another 636 for around the same price as you can sell the motard for , one with some damage but not a twisted frame

Why would you buy a frame with a title if you just need the frame? no point in buying a frame with clean title if you already have a title, and just need a replacement frame....

$300-600 you can get a slavage title straight frame

Anything over $800 and you should be getting straight frame with clean title...

And if you dont mind the dirty stuff you can get **** even cheaper

well technically restamping the frame with your title #'s is a felony

Not where I live, and maybe not where he lives either. Shops here will order blank frames for you and stamp your old numbers ...They will not grind off old (dirty) numbers obviously, but if you bring a salvage title frame they will restamp it for you with your clean title #'s...

I know its probably tight where you live, but its not uncommon for me to see something like a 1000RR running F4i paperwork with a restamp job...This isnt something I would do personally, but it happens all the time...

Re: The choice

having a dealership stamp a brand new frame is perfectly legal but even removing good #'s from a frame is considered tampering with a vin # and thats illegal in the usa...

i don't know about newzealand
