You and Sprock not brothers by any chance..........that's 3 each by my count.....
Spolt boys both of you
My bike got a wash after the windstorm that did my roof in - couldn't believe the dust in a closed garage.....EEK
Maybe a ride later as it's a public holiday here........

Not quite Shadow, I was merely the purchasing agent for Mrs Bear, - her son, her money. I just found it and negotiated the price.
I just may get to test ride it before it is handed over though.

LMAO!Well It seems to have stopped but I'll know as soon as I get a decent day and can take her out and really open her up.
What's top speed supposed to be? With the crappy jets I was only able to top out at 120 before. 
For those who have followed the 1987 US Import CBR1000F adventure (and I just spoke to the bike's Godfather Naga ), will know that the bike was intended for my partner's eldest son. For some reason THAT didn't happen..................................
I have just remedied his lack of a bike with this one............
Managed to educate the man as to the benefits of CBR1000F ownership The previous owner is as fastidious as Naga, so I know it is an honest bike.
Now, I will stop looking at bikes online for a few days

Depends on the gearing but if yours is standard you should get 155+ MPH without too much trouble

And unfortunately I will not be keeping this one. In fact, the only reason I really got it was so that Mrs SB's son would join the CBR forum and vote for me in this month's ROTM
I now know just what politicians go through to buy votes

Sell it to it's Uncle Naga
He'll do you harm if you don't !
If I'd known you were buying votes with 1000F's I'd have waited........................LOL
Sprock - Pfffft - If you believe that, fine, don't expect me to fall for it

The latest red/white '92 CBR1000F Shadow was bought specifically for Mrs SB's son. The US import originally was destined for him, but I kinda intercepted the pass
Uncle Naga can visit, advise on and ride the US bike, but it won't be returning to Melbourne in the near future............................Cheers, SB
