Yeah I know right

There are MV specific forums out there for you to look at. The F4s are delicate bikes, especially if it's a 5V head. They shit swing arm hubs. They shit electrics. They shit radiator mounts. They leak. They look and sound superb. They're hard to ride properly. They're no faster than a decent 600.

They're pretty, that's it.

its not a 5v head,hubs only shit out if not maintained properly as the owner allready knows.Never heard about shit electrics and radiator tends do be only on the 1000cc and easy to overcome that worry as you can get a bracket that supports the left side of radiator so it wont viabrate and crack.But your write they look and sound superd

Hey Guys what are your thoughts on 2005 CBRR 1000?

There's one advertised on trademe and I'm just negotiating with the seller, bellow is the link :

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=627958653

I'm also attaching few screenshots that he has sent me by an email.

Please share your experiences and recommendations and any other information about the bike. Many thanks

P.S- There are few minor scratches on the right hand fairing and thats about it, the bike seems to be in good condition otherwise.

**mossy1200** · 10th November 2013, 19:25

It takes one to know one :P and I guess 20 to 25 % of kb members are Honda owners so I dont think so. Therefore I honestly think your'e jealous cos Honda can kick your a$$ anytime

Nope. Don't know him but it looks to be worth 7 not 8

Dealer would want 8 maybe but they would warranty it and need to turn profits.

This ones private sale and the seller had initially agreed upon selling the bike to some one for 7 K without the hardwire,detector stand and rear cowl but the guyswho wants to buy it keeps delaying in making the payment and picking up the bike as he is on an overseas trip so the seller has got back to me as i was he 2nd person interested in buying the bike. SO now im just trying to negotiate and buy the bike for 7k including the 2 extra items. Hope it goes well. Will keep you guys n the loop. Thank you

Looks tidy but get it checked out and seller to throw in radar detector as you'll need it.

**imdying** · 11th November 2013, 09:16

Looks very clean and tidy. The price is neither here nor there... you'll be able to work out a deal if you want to buy and he wants to sell. Have a look at some 8 year old GSXRs with 40,000km and you'll see where the extra money goes

Sounds like an admission to me...better go buy a Honda then

20-25% of KBers are Honda riders...wow that's a lot of ghey kbers. I don't think I got beaten in a race by a Honda ever...so no chance of having my ass kicked by one....their owners were too busy making sure they were looking their best to make the start line.
