03 Model. Black.

Are you sure its an 03 bike :?: K3 bikes came in Silver, Blu and 'Ginger' (Copper) :!L

Cloggsy -

I've just gone back through all of the purchase and registration documents and everything I have dates it as a k3 model although the original receipt doesnt have any date (of model) information on it. I bought it in May 03 and to the best of my understanding it wasn't a k2. The dealer was the one who registered it and on the rego doco's it states the make as 03.

How can I check ?

Thanks - Naomi.

It should say on the sticker on your service book :!: May 03 would make it a 53 reg (I think,) but it isn't a K3 colour (unless you've had it sprayed :?:) :!:

Bl**dy hell mate! I resemble that remark!! :wink: :lol:

[Biker Biggles]

Could it be an import?Did they do a black one for the US or EU markets?Either way it's a nice looking bike.(Apart from it being a pointy of course) :wink:

[Valman]

It's a K3. The rear mudguard is the huge thing that came with K3s and there's no kink in the rear subframe so the tail sits higher. Another clue would be the gear lever is slightly different on the K3, it doesn't fall off like the K4 because of how it's mounted, but that's not clear in the pics.

I to have a Black K3 with a 53 reg
they were a ltd edition

[Carsick]

Could the fact that it's naked be the reason it's a black one from that year?

[Sid Squid]

It's a K3.

As Tahir says, the seat/side panel shape denotes this.

I've got a black nekkid K3 too.

[Mr Toad]

I thought the givaway was that K3's had 'Suzuki' on the tank, rather than just the logo as on K4's. However it's got an Oil cooler radiator, which I thought only came in on k4's.
But then again, no toolbox, so it must be a K3

perhaps

:smt102

[muffles]

i have an oil cooler on my k3! (s)

what do you mean by tool *box*? wher'es that located (i have a tool kit under the rear seat that's it...)

May 03 would be an 03 reg 53 started in September

Well it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong about something :lol:

The toolbox on the K4+ is at the front of the undertray - you access it by removing a small cover just above/behind the heel plate
Not the cleverest of designs - it has a tendancy to fill up with water so the tools rust, and is totally insecure so any scumbag can nick your toolkit

:D - a pointy.... havent heard that one before. The designer must have been having an angular period when asked to do a new bike. I like its looks.

Was bought from Daytona's in Angel - and wasnt sold as an import.

Yep - its got a big 03 on the numberplate. I never have been able to figure out your numberplate system over here.

I to have a Black K3 with a 53 reg

I didnt know that. . So does that mean I should change the for sale note to say 'Ltd Ed' :D

Another clue would be the gear lever is slightly different on the K3, it doesn't fall off like the K4 because of how it's mounted, but that's not clear in the pics.

Gear lever intact and 100% functional. Thats a bit dodgy that the 04 loses its lever on the odd occasion. Be a pain in the ass if you were out somewhere.

Thanks to all for the bits of info. Interesting.

[Cloggsy]

I think it must have had paint...

[Jelster]

I think K3 naked's came in black......

And Squidly, yours is a biggun, so that don't count....

.

[Last Action Pimp]

Cloggsy it is a K3!

They did do it in black!!! and it must be a ltd ed because nekkid's dont sell as well as fairing (lots of wusses out there!!!)

[orbi007]

It was hot pink before we painted it black..... :D
