im a NOOB and buying my first "cane" today
 

Haha I've been reading a little here and there on this site an I'm 99.9% sure I'm picking up a 94 CBR 1000F!!! Im almost 22 and its gonna be my first street bike!! Although I'm familiar with bikes. I ride dirtbikes and atvs.. I'm pretty stoked about this bike. A comfortable fast reliable great all around bike?!?! From what I've read on this site... ill post pictures when I pick her up!! They says its 100$ solid. And not a scratch on her. MINT condition. $2500 it has 21000 miles good deal?

Not a bad deal at all for a 94 .......but depends on condition ......so post up those pics
of that black and white and red 94 when you
get her.

They are a solid heavy bike that GO ! Get ready :D and since it's your first street bike
exercise due care and attention .......... ya picked a fast one to start on .......!

BTW Welcome to the Club

Congrats and welcome! Post up those pics when you get a chance

Good choice! Be careful of the weight, they're heavy old girls, always double check the side stand is down otherwise you'll bust a gut trying to catch her!!

Welcome along mate. I am looking forward to a few pics of her.

'94, my favorite year.LOL
It's a good deal for the price. You can't buy much bike these days for under that.

She may be old on paper but she is young at heart and still spirited.
Big bike to start out on. My 24 yr old son dropped mine last year. They are a little more top heavy than what you are use to so, plan accordingly.

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome aboard! Hey, 94...you must have excellent taste :)

re: price...for $2500 it better be perfectly clean and 100% in every way. I mean, if it's nice, and mechanically all good, it's not a huge ripoff or anything, but If you search and are a little patient you can find a perfect one for that money.

Also, please take the MSF course. This is a big bike for a first bike, and that heft will have a tendency to amplify mistakes.

I dont know if i should admit this but when i got mine last feb we gently got her off the trailer outside my house, i fired her up, turned her round to go in the garage AND halfway through U turn i layed her on her side DOH !!
Luckly only a light scuff on the fairing bumper.

That was a QUICK lesson in how to respect her.

Enjoy your bike & the forum.

Welcome fella! Some piccys would be great when you can get some! :)

I agree with everyone else ... it's a deceptively heavy bike, so be ready! ;) And just watch your right wrist, or you'll be doing obscene speeds before you know it! lol

Welcome mate! Sound like a great bike with bugger all (for one of these) miles!

+1 on watching the weight. They're heavy old girls and the steering lock comes on sooner than I was used to.

I dropped mine 1 week after getting it swinging into a parking space and leaning too far for the lock!

One other thing to really watch. Corners come up mighty fast at 140mph+ and these bikes take a while to pull up so FFS take some time to experiment before you go ape5hit!! Have fun.
