So i know you guys love your crims, and seem to favour them over the 05/06 models, why is that and how did thay all get their nicknames?

I have my eye on an 06

To clarify year models:

04/05 = Crim
06/07 = Gumby
08 on = Bug (i think)

Its been covered many a times,

Crim = Cause u end up in gaol if you ride one. short for criminal
Gumby = looks like a playdoh man a.k.a gumby
Bug = looks like a bug!

crim looks ok and apparently is a beast to ride..... personally i dont like the front lights....
gumby always seems to get bagged out.... does look a bit too swoppy looking like a hyabusa....
bug i reckon will be a shit hot bike...... i could easily forgive it the ugly pipe and the weird indicator position.....

u couldnt go wrong with either i reckon.....

Crim is a beast to ride
Gumby is fun but not as fun as crim
Bug yet to try out! but next few weeks!

So apart from looks I hear a few people complaining about the handling of the gumby? Surely still a very good bike though?

Still better than any Honda

I dont think anything would handle as good as my Honda

It would be nice to get back on the road again though. How was your ride the other day, I forgot to msg you back sorry

I didnt thnk the gumby handled that badly, no where near as fast as the crim! but still nothing to complain about

I I have recently ridden a crim and really didnt find the handling all the different. Admittly the sus. wasnt set up for my weight but still not that different.

I have heard the bug is skinny like the gsxr but yet to confirm.

gumby is too fat, and doesn't have that sexy factor.

crim got it all power, sex appeal and nice lines.

bug wait to see it in the flesh.

The Gumby is my fave of the lot, feels well planted..the Crim was too flighty !!

Ive had a good look at Smek's Gumby, and it's the Shizzle Dog !

It's worse in the flesh than in the photos. I'm become quite partial to the gumby recently, although I'd want a side-pipe conversion. I'd never buy one for the road, though, and can't justify one for the track.
