Hey Jeff , Are these going to be released ADR complient ? same as the originals were , I had a 69 K2 it needed a full resto and I want a fighter so I got rid of it on ebay but I got $550 for it ,just in Feb. they are worth heaps in great nick http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/67068666181525.jpg

I can see you on that, suits you right down to the ground. Huey on a monkey.

[Weaselman]

you'd assume they would be ADR'd Honda wouldnt waste there time otherwise...
I dont know if you recall but a chinese company released a thing called the Munster it was a monkey bike clone.
But it was ADR'd

[zx12argh]

My mates got one - he's offering $50 to anyone who can make it stoppie with that drum front end - and if you face plant it doesn't count ;)

How good an option is that over a scooter?

[WHO-NIN]

Heuy they ARE ADR compliant as they have a plate mount n all indicators,
and they re a better option than a scooter ZX12RRRrrrrr.....their also the first bike i ever got to have ride of as a 6yr old.....

as for a stoppie onit i'd be afraid to break it(or me)trying

just because they have all the gear does not mean they are ADR compliant , same as the Ag CT110 available new from Honda

articles i have read about the anniversary model specifically stated not ADR and about $3k or so

[WHO-NIN]

I stand corrected, didn'y have time to have a good look or investigate....was just driving past....

Speaking of driving past....
don't see these often, even in bits

God the FUCKERS i work with are rough as guts.....i wouldn't let half of 'em drive a fucking golf cart let alone a car or fork:(:(:(:(....thank fuck i'm getting out:):D[8D]

[DaveK5]

Made in Thailand....mmm quality.

[RUSS M8]

So they build crates as good as they build bikes.... :(

[WHO-NIN]

nah the crates are fine...it's the fuckwits who let a stack of 3 crates of bikes drop out the side of a semi trailer, didn't even try to prevent it happening before removeing the strap holding them down[V][V].....
......rough as guts.........

[BOHEMION]

So what happens to those bikes now?

[Large]

They go through pre delivery and noobs buy them

[WHO-NIN]

the company will have to pay for the damaged bikes n may end up sending them to a "salvage" auction. there was rumours they'd sell them for $2g a pop( i think they retail bout $4,990+ ORC), apparently they are only $3500 per unit to the shop!
will have to find the unit price on the CBRthou n 600, could make some interesting haggling at a bike shop!

There's a racing series for these bikes out at the queensland cart racing track - looks a shit load of fun. No real minimum age requirement either. If I had a kid (or admitted to them being mine) I'd get them into this.

[WHO-NIN]

i know the w/shop manager at the "honda shop" n had a chat bout them as they did a favour checking out my yammies lecky prob, 2 or 3 are writeoffs the rest repairable and the national service manager was due to fly ova and check things out as well! might not bode well for my soon to be ex employers![xx(][xx(] dumb mofo's :):D[8D]

[HOS]

Someone say MONKEY !!!!!

Check these guys out ???

http://www.monkeybike.co.uk/

They have some majorly trick Monkey bikes and tuning stuff !!

Billet frames, billet wheels, big tubular swingarms, NOS installs, high level Yoshi systems.... you wouldnt believe it !!

They made a couple of bikes costing well over £20,000 !!!
This is real cult stuff [8D][8D][8D]
