Just got back from making a deposit on this bike. Going to pick it up Wednesday. It's a 2 owner (I'm the 3rd) bike with just a hair over 30k miles on it. For its age, it's in excellent shape... Regular maintenance (previous owner was a motorcycle mechanic) and the chain/sprocket was replaced at 25k miles. Plastics are great, no signs of ever going down, etc.
It's been about 20 years since I've ridden, but I guess some things you never forget lol... It's going to be my commuter from my home in NW Montana to the North Dakota oil fields, where I work... At least till the weather turns.
Anyway, just thought I'd share

Thanks! For a 1993, she's in excellent condition. He also had a '05 CBR600RR for sale, but it didn't fit me as good as this one did. I'm really looking forward to putting some miles on her!

Excellent bike. You're going to enjoy the ride - until you leave Browning and ride a straight line for the next 400 or so miles. But the CBR will make even that enjoyable.

Ha! You're not kidding about the straight line ride lol... The only good thing is it'll probably be a day and a half ride coming home. By the time I get off work in Williston, it'll be dark by the time I get to Glasgow and I've had too many close calls with deer and antelope in my p/u truck at night to even want to ride the hi line after dark...

Great looking bike Matt.
Enjoy and watch it when you hit 6000 RPM - they aren't called Hurricanes for nothing

Fit a set of HID lights and you'll be good to go in the dark
