--- Quote from: uncle albert on April 08, 2008, 06:48:48 PM ---Ok, I've taken the plunge and have ordered a bike (through an import agent here in Sweden). 7-10 weeks for Service Honda to build the thing, then about another 2 weeks to ship to Sweden. Thats going on 3 months, it's going to be a long wait..
I would normally never buy anything that has so little information available about it, but I've decided to take a risk :| However, I think that the risk that I won't like the bike, or that the bike will be nasty, is small.
Regarding the price of the bike, I understand that in the US its expensive, but for us in Europe its about the same price as a new 450f (until the USD recovers, that is). So choosing a new bike was a bit of a no-brainer, really :-D
"Good", if you know AJ, then feel free to have a word and ask him to put the KX destined for Sweden together with even more love and care than normal :wink:
Mick, if you can wait a few months, I'll be able to give you a ride review for free :-D

Beware,Swedes are contacting each other via USA ..... :-D :lol: 8-)
Mick:
Uncle, that's awesome you ordered from Service Honda. I'm jealous. I'd give an arm and a leg to ride your KX500AF. Having a S/H CR and an '89 KX the "what if's" are constantly playing games in my head. My '89 is so fast I'd love to put it in a modern chassis like my CR. You won't be disappointed that's for sure.

I just cant believe what I'm hearing! :-o This is BLASPHEMY! Service HONDA building a KAWASAKI KX500??? That's sacrilege! Whats next? A Chevy Mustang??? A Nissan CIVIC??? A Mitsubishi Impreza???
Just kidding... at least someone is building them. :wink:

Good:
I don't know AJ, but one of these days I will own one of these myself so I enquired about them.
On another note, I'd have the motor sent to Stewart before it was all packaged up for some "finishing touches" to get all you can out of it. :-D
