1. That's 1/3 the way to a new FJR1300. If I had the other 2/3s' I would do it.
2. What shape is the bird in?
3. You have to think about replacement cost. What can you buy for $4,500 these days?
4. What shape is that bird in?
5. What shape is that bird in?

pretty good shape,the guys is a collector, so that is whyI am hesitating, if he wants my bike it must be in pretty pretty good shape, in fact some poeple asked me if it was new, they could not believe it was 20 years old, and also it is the pride of owning a vehicule that as significant for the motorcycle world as a Jag type E for the car world, and alsoI love my Hurricane, you know sometimes old ladies get more respect than a young thing... but stil i am undecided, horsepower is calling me a bit....

The thing that holds me back from selling my '93 is that Honda doesn't make a sport bike physically large enough for me to be comfortable on all day. My son's '05 CBR 600RR feels like a toy. The CBR 1000rr is the same size.
