Default Need pictures, Not sure if this bike is fraud or not!

Hey guys, I went and looked at the CBR I wanna buy and it just seemed a bit weird, maybe not what im used to on my older gsxr.

I noticed that the RMP tach/Speedo was tucked WAY in the nose of the bike, is this right?
Also I notice when I rode it, i would look at the MPH and feel like I was doing like 100 but only doing like 75mph, happen to you guys?

Can anyone take some pictures of the front of the bike like if you were sitting on it, just wanna compare. Thanks

Where can I get OEM farings from for an 2004 honda CBR 1000rr

One last question, I have the VIN # anyone wanna check car fax for me if you have an account? I be gladly to tip via paypal =)


Oh by the way, OMG was it NICE, I loved every gear!!!!!!!!!!

Here's a pic of mine....it's an '07, but should be the same gauge setup as the 04-05

Is that a Canon S5IS you have there? (in the reflection of your gauges?)

I have an 04 and you don't really notice that it is tucked in there. What I really have problems with is the mirrors. They only let me look at my elbows.

One more thing. If the bike is an 04 CBR there was a speedometer fix that was required and done under warranty.
The fact that you felt like you were doing 100 and the speedometer said 75 is probably a speedometer that needs replacement.

How do I tell if he geared it differently, whats the stock teeth in the back.

Will a honda dealership tell me about this recall if it has been done or not?
