Default Plexi Clear 1000F at Bike show NOV 86

Hey:

Here is a pic I found going thru some of the old cd's I burned way back when.

It is in London at the Intermod, on press day I should have a few more I 'll try and find them, as I have thousands to look through.

This is the 1st viewing of the New for 1987 CBR 1000F with the clear PLEXIGLASS bodywork, lots of OOh and aahs, when it was seen.

Different for sure. At least it's better than one of those all chrome bikes.

Hiding in someone's collection somewhere, or someone got tired of cleaning it and painted all the clear.......
Certainly the only pic I've ever seen - good one !
I took the liberty of playing with the pic a bit to show the bike up - hope you don't mind.

Hey:

It scratches easily, 3 sets made that I know of, the one shown here was used for that whole show year. Who knows where it went, Knowing Honda in the dumpster/Skip. Glad I could share it I have some good close ups some where but I have to search thru a lot of cds to find them. I would never mind Shadow.
