See, it even says it on the bike. These take 10 years to build
You do realise it couldn't be any different if it tried - that's a 2 stroke you menk...
And I built my KR1000 in about 16 months

. One month in 2009, a month in 2010, a month in 2011, a month in 2012, a month in ...
Tot them all up, comes to ... 16 months!
Where did you buy the bare frame? And who was the manufacturer of these parts?Nope, 16 months from bare frame to completion - it's all documented
I'm beginning to speculate now, did I build my 999S? It had a bare frame at some point and it does have manufactured parts.
I wonder how long that took me!
I remember helping you refine your fitting instructions ... but thanks for not answering my questions. Again.No. all you did was clean it from time to time and fit some cables the wrong way around until help arrived
Where did you buy your frame? Someone else might want to design and build a bike from scratch in sixteen months. It could be helpful to them to know.

Aika-san looks more paki-san than Japanese....

So, about that frame ...Don't pass your crap onto me you loony
Good advice.
Where did you buy your frame for the KR?
Great, that worked on the silly twerp, phew
