New Owner (Lancashire, UK)
I thought I'd pop in and say hello; this sub-forum looks pretty active, which is nice to see.
I've owned a 1993 model for, ooh, about 36 hours, which I recently acquired from ebay uk. All seems to be in decent order with the bike, though I'm sure I'll be looking for an uprated reg/rec as a preventative measure.
When the piggy-bank has recovered from buying the bike itself!
I haven't owned a big I4 for a while, but I am a former CBR1100XX owner, so I roughly knew what to expect. My '93 was a French import; no idea if the 100bhp restrictor is still on the carbs, but it doesn't feel like it.
Cheers folks,

Had a full fluids service last September, plus re-greased linkages etc, but I don't know if/when the carbs or valves have been looked at.
She certainly feels fit enough, based on the couple of hours I spent riding on Friday.
Also has the Nexxus cans and s/s downpipes, and the full Shad wing-rack. I'll have to see if my old Givis will fit, but doesn't look like it at first glance.
