The frames ARE strong on the f4ez,but you didn't break your frame.the swing arm is not concidered part of a frame:shruggs the swingarms are strong also but if your bike goes flippin down the road at a good speed then somethings gotta give,swingarms are alot cheaper to replace than the frame,so I wouldn't be too pissed...you could pick one up on ebay for 30-50 bucks.

I broke my swinger in half at the welds too, but it happened after I hit a phone pole at about 60 so it's not that big a surprise lol.

Hittin a tele pole at 60... damn dude I bet you broke a couple bones huh???:banghead Back in 1998-99 My friend and his girl on the back of his gixxer left a graduation party about 20 min after I left,he has to pass by my subdivison to get to his house,well he was goin to fast and didn't make the turn and hit head on with a tele pole,He died instantly,and his girl is a quadraplegic(sp?).The weird part is that I heard the crash but didn't put 2 n 2 together,I found out the next morning that it was them two.You got lucky your still here bro.:cheers

I know a couple people who have broken their swingarms at the welds. All were coming down from endos.

Re: f4i swing arm broke
 
I could see that happening from tryin 180/360 endos and comin down before you get around all the way.At least it a relatively cheap fix.

Actually no. I walked away from it with only a concussion and a hyper extended knee. I hate to hear that about your friends. I got way lucky.

nothing could touch the 900 for how many yrs. + in my opinion, everything today is just a tweaked, updated version of hondas original 900 concept, besides didnt kawi originally make jet engines or something?:LOL
