RE: Buying advices...
Thanks guys for your advices! Two days ago I bought a -96 CBR 1000F (black and grey) with 41000km mileage. Like Noe/R1000's advice, I were concerned about low mileage. The chain hasn't been taken care of enough, but otherwise the condition is very good as far as I can judge!
Wow, what a bike! Heavy as ****, but a dream to ride on. Suits me perfectly as I'm a short person.
Have not experienced the same "kick" on any other bike on 3:rd gear from ~90km/h... the bike just bolt away. *ouh* [sm=wootwoot.gif]
Buying a setup of bags and the dream of a EU touring is a bit closer.
Thanks again everyone, and I look forward to keep in touch through this forum concerning the owning of this bike in the future!

RE: Buying advices...
Nice buy Marson, you're sure to enjoyyour new mount for many years to come. I picked up my second hand '93three years ago with 22k miles on the clock, bone stock, and in excellent condition for $1800US (thanks Craigslist!). It was a great buy and I have not regretted it once. The bike is heavy, as you've already noted, but it still handles pretty well and it is rock solid stable on the freeway at speed. Great bike for a mature (43yrs)post crotch rocket guy like me, plus itprovides some room to move around a bit, which at 6'4" is a great benefit. They are solid bikes and work well.
I hope you really enjoy yours!

Tallenuf: That's right, I bought this bike/model because I want it to last for several years, both in the terms of economy and to satisfy my requirements.
