Swapped the zx6r + £200 for this little animal, really wasn't getting on with the ninja and it pissed me off that I spent loads on a bike that I was enjoying lol
Not currently road registered, hopefully shouldn't be too much of a ball ache, applied for the paper work and need to get a rear light and tyre for MOT.
Also had a full engine rebuild in december 2012 due to a recall so literally brand new engine lol and it's only on 50 hours/1300 miles!
Nath, wouldn't have needed a rebuild I doubt, just a precautionary thing I imagine. They do need looking after but honestly I don't think they're as bad as they're made out to be, just a case of changing the oil every so often and checking the valve clearance. Still keeping the rmx though for off road abuse plus I'd miss having a 2t lol
does anyone know where I can hpi it off the frame number? It's got a certificate of authenticity from ktm, receipts etc, just worries me having a bike worth that much with no log book lol. Although he did give me one that was done 5 months ago, just want to be sure for piece of mind lol
No it hasn't...only thing I was thinking if he bought it on finance or something, it could be logged against the frame number. I did get an hpi check from him though so...
Guy seems pretty genuine though, has KTM headed receipts, certificate of authenticity, and more receipts lol so I doubt it stolen. Can't wait to go for a decent ride on a nice sunny day!
Well 50 hours use over 3 years + a full engine rebuild half a year ago, can't get much better sounds so smooth lol! Gonna change the oil and filters anyway though I think.
Soon man, want to get this thing on the road ASAP! I wish I still worked part time sometimes, more riding time ftw haha
All means jack. I don't know what was wrong with the Ninja you had, but you just bought a right ball ache.
Nine times out of ten sellers spout out any bollocks to get a sale.
If that's been raced, then Nath will be correct, it'll need a rebuild before the whole thing goes pop.
These kinds of supermotos are high maintenance and go pop quite regularly.
TBH I think I'd believe him saying it's just track days looking at the tyres don't look like they've been pushed to the limit. I know what these bikes are like, it's healthy and there's only so much wear you can do to a brand new engine in 5 months tbh! It may have been raced previous to rebuild but I don't care, as that was essentially a different engine.
BTW when I said it has a rebuild it wasn't just some chav saying it's been rebuilt, got a dealership receipt dated 06/12/12.
