Thanks from a new '93 owner
 

This is my first sport bike and frankly, I didn't want to hound the guy I bought it from with too many questions. I bought a 93 CBR1000F with 17,000 miles with a busted upper cowl for $1,000 and can't wait to get it on the road.

But first, I had many questions that reading the posts here has taken care of.

Anyway, I just wanted to say "thanks" to all of you that have posted wisdom here and there. I needed it. :D

Oh, and let me qualify myself here. I'm a loyal Honda guy with a couple of XL's in my past, an old 1973 CB 350 twin with 3,000 miles (stolen in Kentucky) and a CX 500 (that I used to burn my knees on). "It runs like a Honda"

Oh, and I'm a 240 pound fatboy, so I appreciated the thread regarding our sizes. Nice to know I'm not the only one. :eek:

Thanks again,

Idaho rider

Hey orofinocbr, welcome to the forum. I think you'll really enjoy the 1000F, they last forever. I too had the CX-500. In fact I had 2 of them. A 1980 CX500 Deluxe that I had for 2 years and put 15K miles on it. Then in 1982 I bought the CX500TC which was the Turbo. It was an amazing bike, and the most beautiful bike I've ever owned. It really had some technological firsts. Too bad the photo is in B&W.
