I used to love my old 92 1000 F, sold her with 97,000 Kls on her, she was a grand lady. Upgraded to an 06 Bird last year and she has taken the crown for me.

Waz

Wasn't your Bird grey or something? I have never seen that colour before, and I have seen quite a few Birds.

Looks awesome!!!

 

Well i've onlydone 4,000kmssince I bought it at the beginning of 2004, and 900kms of that was the trip home to Melbourne from Canberra as I took a flight interstate to buy it. The bike's previous owner bought it brand new, elderly fellow who had a pristine late model Mercedez Benz S-class and a huge mansion of a home, everything was spotless; so I had comfort in knowing he took pride in his belongings. I was told that most of its 70,000kms travelling time was spent on country roads at 80/100kph, it's had very little stop/start traffic type riding.

I had no idea the bottom side panels would wear over time.. certainly hasn't in this case (and it's definitely the original decal - ie. not resprayed) Perhaps it does have to do with the type of gear one rides with, though sometimes I do ride with boots/leathers... but more often than not I dont go to that effort and typically ride with jeans and casual shoes.

The plastic holder is what contains the VICRoads registration sticker, yep. It needs to be made visible somewhere on the bike, it's where the previous guy had it and it's out of the way so i've left it there.

It's sunday, today I get out the spit and polish and give her a THOROUGH going over, more pics during the week folks.

 

4000 K's in nearly 4 YEARS ??????
MORE RIDING, LESS WASHING...........
No wonder it looks so clean..........

 

Noe, yep she was a silver grey. So at X Mass time my wife and I headed over to England and took all the plastics to the spray painter and said Jaz her up its a damb nice paint too takes on many shade of orange to red, plus the metal flake through out. Shes a one off now. Now I can be see very easily on the road but will have to watch my wrist bending too much.

Absolutly beautiful Bike!

Waz 57 Are you going to put back the decals?

Dragon64 with his morning coffee !

 

here is my 94, 31,000 and still the original front tire.........just kiddinhas a few scratches but in due time will get that fixed

 

Totally amazing colour Waz! Almost doesn't need stickers!

 

Dragon, I am leavng the decalls off as I have onlly put the CBR back on. Like Mikekop has said it just about doesnt need stickers. I did place the two big XX on the panniers as they are Mirrored Chrome. You get people look at it and sratch their head ( So you know they dont know bikes properly ) and then they either come for a closer look or simply or the question. What is it, HAH then I have their ear for a half an hour.

 

Waz. I must say. That is the sweetest looking Bird I have ever seen! It's stunning.

A one of a kind, and then some!
