This was in the carpark on Monday, wonder if this is one of the CRK kits, not bad I thought, though Im guessing its "work in progress", a few odd things going on here and there.

When you mentioned the other day on the phone remembered I'd seen a kit in mag about such and that's it.

I rather like it  :icon_biggrin: although I have to confess to not having suffered any kind of bike with a carb on since 99 and I intend to keep it that way :icon_wink:

I do like it but in two minds with them becoming rarer if you know what I mean.

I fancied cafe racering one when they were dirt cheap.  I need to perfect ally tank fabrication first

I like it. And I don't really care about originality much. If that is how you like it and how you want to ride it, build it. (As long as you build it in decent quality and not hack it and destroy it.)

Interesting. But just looking at that seat makes my @r$e want to pucker!

It looks half finished. Especially the seat. Cool bike though.

not a CRK kit, they have a modified rear subframe plus different tank and seat unit... :)

 :iagree race to the cafe to give your arse a rest  :augie

Although I like that, I think a set of triple stacked pipes would really at it off.

:iagree If they are going to use the X75 colour scheme it should have the triple pipes.

I looked at this kit but I think I like my Speed Triple standard.]

The CRK kit is aimed mainly at the old Daytonas, Sprints, Tridents etc. They can actually be bought fairly cheap
