Hi,
I was hoping to get an AR model but picked up a Mk2 when it was available.

It has been dis-assembled and rebuilt with a new piston and rings as well as a lot of other work. Now it is registered (just lapsed actually) and has been treated to a new custom sticker kit.

I am in the process of converting it to a motard using Aprilia RS-125 wheels and front radial caliper using a custom made adapters and yes, it does require a lot of work to make this combination fit.

I'll get some photos up shortly.

Welcome to a fellow Aussie, where abouts are you?

Currently on the east coast in Syd.

I sold my Fireblade and downsized to the CRM, since it accelerated like the 'blade. I'm a big fan of two-strokes and their power-to-weight ratio.
Not sure how long I will hold on to the CRM for though, it's fantastic but as soon as you get on it turns you into an instant hoon. Still great to see the strange looks people give you when you ride a chook chaser down the street.

Cool, I'm in western Sydney. If I ever get mine running it'll be another motard terrorising Sydney
