Title: 2017 Honda CRF 1000 l
Post by: Gwilliams on December 17, 2019, 09:35:39 pm: Hi

I picked up a CRF 1000 with a bent subframe, damaged exhaust, right radiator shroud damaged and probably a damaged rim

Any advice or suggestions ? Honda Cape Town quoted R224 000 to repair . I own a number of bikes and intend to build a rally styled bike - any comments , suggestions. This will be a special bike , it will join the Vintage Factory Cape Town collection when done. See Vintage Factory Cape Town on Facebook

All suggestions re options and sourcing greatly appreciated

From 990R to GSA LC to 1290 so next up probably an AT. . . .

Anyway I spotted this a while ago before buying the 1290 which could probably send you in the right direction:
