Should i PX my RR5 for a Repsol RR5

lol..i knew i forgot something...£400 odd for the tank!

called another dealer his prices were even more expensive! £2700

 

As above if you can stand to be without a bike sell yours privately before the summers up, then save what you can and seek out the best Repsol you can in the depths of winter. You might even be able to get a 09!

 

Yep here's a few of mine all taken in poorish light while I was building it back up:

 

Try Cox Honda- They quoted me considerably less for a nose cone (Mines got a hole in it from a stone, Venture shield didn't work on that bad by)

 

Love the white wheels - that's what I wanted to do with mine. Looks mint

 

Andrew, so you have £300 chineese fairings and £1000 wheels on your bike... ;-)

Looking nice...

 

Mine is slightly different in a few places- not sure what brand it is though

 

I thought that yours were also from actuamarts as I'm sure I read it whilst searching were best to buy on here, back when hondo owned your bike.
I've slept since then tho. Lol

Yep the wheels are mixed with £300 fairings. My thinking at the time was the wheels can always have different spacers fitted and be taken forward if I change bikes tho

 

Maybe it is then. You pleased with it?

 

Right!

After some thought, I have decided to keep my rr5..

Dealer was being but of a pr1ck! And little big headed!

So, buying new tyres tommrow, suspension setup on Saturday..looking for a power commander + k&n filters then off to get a custom remap...;-)

Also going to treat myself to a new lid and gloves...

 

That's the way! The mods you have listed will make your RR5 a new bike and you will wonder why you ever considered changing it! Keep us posted on the developments.

the new one looks a cracker mate. was in similar predicament last year. had an 07 in hrc colours and loved the bike to bits but not in love with the colour. after much dithering and contemplating on converting mine ( mine wouldnt have looked right as mine had black frame and 07 repsol should be silver) or selling i took the plunge. was going to buy a mint 07 repsol or an 09 but was a grand or so short so needed to sell mine first. i shook hands on a deal on mine with a local guy who never came back with a deposit. everyone wanted it for peanuts so popped in to local honda dealer to get mine valued and ended up trading it in on a brand spanker as was offered a great deal against mine. took the zero interest option on the difference and picked it up a month before my 40th. my mate put down a deposit on what was to be the first repsol to come into cornwall dealers back in early 05 but got fed up with waiting and took a new r1 instead. ever since then i vowed i,d have 1 in the future. i know i,m biased but its such a stunning colour on a top sportsbike. enjoy it and welcome to the club!!
