Stolen bike ? (Honda SXR)

**strandedinnz** · 25th March 2014, 08:36

There is a bike parked up on France street in Auckland that is just screaming "I AM STOLEN!" (no plates, no WOF, no rego and wiring is a hotwired mess)

Apart from the horrible looking fairings the bike engine and frame looks good, never heard of a SXR before.

Of course I could be wrong and it could just be sitting there for some other purpose.

that's a cbr600, the Honda bits right the SRX isn't. a srx is a Kawasaki jet ski and that ain't no jet ski.

Doh, have a rethink about post 2, there's your answer.

I dunno mate... most of a GSXR sticker or not, I think only Honda used those super ugly wheels? I'm thinking CBR600 is pretty on the money... a real early one?

Dunno. Zooming the picture up bit and it does look decidedly Kawasaki-ish.

It's not one of these tho http://gokartsusa.com/sxr-250-sport-motorcycle.aspx

You thinking the Comstar wheels they had on the 80's CB400s and 250s? I think they had more spokes though.

Early gsxr 400 I reckon, certainly frame & bottom fairing look like, grey import?

I think someones been playing in photoshop, that shiney exhaust looks like a cat converter.
And the reflection of white paint on the glossy fairing....

The Spada has pretty much the same wheels and they are totally not ugly!

If that is photoshop it's pretty well done. I think it's more backyard workshop...
