Oh... parallel import comes with 3 month warranty period.

 

And for CBR1000RR04 black colour.. need to wait for 2 months if getting from Boon Siew.. too long a wait...

 

Parallel importer (Mah motor) can give me just next week...

 

so.. just want to know whether worth to risk to get parallel import...

My 954RR and 1000RR are from them, even both are BoonSiew bikes.

 

What color are you getting?

if i were u, i'll wait 4 2 months to get a boon siew bike because its covered with a 1 year unlimited mileage honda factory warranty.

 

i'm not sure about the so called 3 months warranty. u should find out more about this 3 months warranty.

 

regarding the risk, i'll leave it to u 2 decide.

 

for 2k less, u get 9months less warranty.

in the event of a recall which is a higher chance especially for a 1st model bike like the RR4, is ur parallel import bike covered by honda?

 

unlike the R1, the RR4 is not even a year old on the road. u'll never know what's going to happen to the RR4 within 1 year on the road.

 

touch wood, skully the HESD/Instrument Panel/PGM-DSFI spoil after 3 months u bought ur bike, is ur 2k which u save earlier can cover the repair/replacement cost?

 

or worst, honda detected a manufacturing defect in the RR4 DSFI sometime in December 2004, there's a world wide recall to repair/replace the RR4 DSFI which is free for RR4s covered with Honda factory only...

ok, stop scaring u already... i'll leave to u 2 decide... hehehe

 

this is just my point of view and i am not a boon siew salesman/anti mah motor/anti parallel import bike or such. please don't flame me. thank u. :)

Mah is correct.

 

Mine is a BS bike, flown in, probably 1st red on the road. Serial number says mine's made in Japan. Ken's RR4 is parallel, came awhile later by sea?

 

His serial number is just +1 from mine.

but anyway, i think ur bike is parellel or not oso nvm as long as u having fun riding it, its okie.

but if really got recall like zx10r's problem and not agent bike, u will cry.

but since its a honda bike, other than some cosmetic flaws, be confident in other things.
