Title: When was the crescent produced
Post by: kak2222 on Friday, 30 August 2019, 11:36 PM
Anyone know when the gsx 1400 crescent was produced.
I'm looking at buying a final edition (07) it has crescent decals.
I've tried researching and all I can find is a 2002 crescent special that sold on flea bay some months ago. Thanks in advance.

Crescent is a dealership in Dorset. They did a modified K2/3 in 2002/3 which had Yoshi cams and different exhaust and put their decal on it. Never heard of any others being done by them in later years.

I suspect that someone has just added a Crescent decal to a (possibly standard) K7 - what is the spec of the one you are buying. Do you have a link to it you could post?

If not - why not ring them up, give them the reg number and ask them what they did to modify it? If in fact they ever did.  https://www.crescent-motorcycles.uk/

The back plastics look like a K6, but different tank colour.  The model will be on the Vin plate in any case.

New a standard K7 in 2007 was £6,200 anyway, so if Crescent say it was £6k new, then it's an absolutely standard K7 with no mods apart from a Crescent decal on the side panels. Same as any other K7 sold new at the time.
