...talking bout frame cracking, lots mentioned suzuki's frames cracking issue. act of war or is this true?

 

of course nothing is perfect in this world, my posts are merely to widen my knowledge. hope you know where i came from too.

 

i'm a die-hard kawi lover. no way, i'm devalue-ing my greenish.

 

Ok, I know where you're coming from....

 

I never bothered to verify the frame cracking. But think about it this way, the bikes nowadays are getting lighter and lighter. Alloys are being used more commonly to achieve that weight savings. Although stiff, they can be brittle, kinda like titanium. So I think it's entirely possible for them to crack easier compared to steel frame bikes during an accident.

 

Just cracking by themselves? It's still possible but probably a one off case/cases. Don't think it'll be a mass manufacturing defect. I'm sure the manufacturers would've issued a recall as the legal implications are tremendous...

Kawa agent, Evershine, is offering a very competitive insurance for Kawa bikes. It's no longer as expensive as you think....

i don't like the look.

in fact, i hope all kawi and non-kawi lovers will find it ugly, so no one will buy and i will be the only one on the road!

Oh..... 1 thing for sure, the 06 10R looks better in the flash. The pics dun really give it much justice. But then its up to individual how they view the bike. Rather taller than the 05 model. Need to tip toe a little on the new 10R but not the previous model. But the 06 636r looks really good in black. Thinking bout a new set of fairing in black but wa biang ey! Damn X ah. Gonna think of a way man! hehehehe.......

the looks doesn't really matter much. i need to feel... the "connection" with the bike. i tried cbr1000, tho with all the safety features, i do not feel good on it. i feel comfy on K6 tho. but i know kawa is in my veins cause i bleed green.

 

black 636? nope nope.. read my signature. GREEN IS THE COLOR
