Default From Australia. 87 CBR1000F US import

Hi,
I recently purchased a 87 1000F and Im told it was impoted from the US in around 2006.
I have not seen this colour combo before, just wondering if it is original or what.
Thanks. Ben..

Welcome to the forum Ben, I have not seen that colour scheme myself, a nice neat example whatever the history, speedo in miles, how many?

Hi Jarvid. Thank you.
The speedo had to be converted to Ks when it was complied in 2006.
It has 61000 on it, but i dont know if that is genuine or not.

Not USA color. It seems re-painted and modified. Look at the turn signals.

Not original paint! Someone removed the paint on the wheels, they were most likely original red.
All the stickers are aftermarket. As mentioned above, the turn signals are not factory. They were originally where the upper vents are now.
The saddle has been re-covered.
All in all it's a nice job and good looking bike.
