Default SOLD MY RIDE - Reluctantly

Hi All

Sadly, as of yesterday, someone made me such a great offer on my ride that was hard to refused so I reluctantly let my CBR1000f go. He paid the deposit and was gonna arrange for the balance within 2 weeks Unfortunately my new ride is not a CBR so it won't be the same coming to this forum without owning one. Nevertheless I will log in from time to time. I will however miss coming regularly.

but don't stop voting and get a CBR1000f to win!!

I´m sad to hear it, that is a fine bike.
What are you planning next, something else to overhaul ? :-)

That`s too bad, I hope the new owner knows to appreciate your (prev) bike, and not wreck it.

madkawa,

Your bike inspired us to love CBR 1KF deeply. I hope you will have great bike and the new owner of your previous bike will keep posting on the forum.

Haha

I hope I won't be doing much overhaul on the next bike Oelhunden. I am planning to get a brand new bike this time round. I am more or less made up my mind on a ZX-14 though I have not made any booking yet. Another choice would be a used-Blackbird

I wasn't planningon changing the bikejust as yet but I had many offers and also a very good deal on the new ZX-14 including a good trade in for the 1kf. So that got me thinking. Then yesterday someone made a better offer that was just hard to let it go by. The irony of it all is that I did not even offer the bike up for sale.

I think the new owner is influence by his mates who rides the same bike as well. They know it is reliable and it goes. I also know that his mates likes to take their bikes on the track (sepang F1 circuit). He is a fairly new rider and I hope he treats the bike as well as I did. I will ask him to come to the forum but I am not sure he will.

However, If i do meet up with my soon-to-be old bike anytime in the future I post some pictures up from time to time.

HEY GUYS the voting seemed to have slowed down a bit, any chance of getting some more votes in? It is the last day.

Cheers All!

I took a ZX 14R for a test ride last year, it is the real thing in my opinion. A used Blackbird will cost far less and is great, but is by no means playing in the same division chassis or engine vise since it two generations behind.

It was very nice to have you here with that great looking machine. I hope you don't forget us when you change over brands. Enjoy the new ride you get.
