Mines starting, after 96K miles, to use oil. Looking for a replacement with lower miles.

 

Thanks CBR, made an offer...waiting to see. $1200 a bit steep, offered half.

 

Steve, he turned down my half offer and says he's able to hang on to it as long as needed to get close to his price. Wish him luck. I could buy another bike for that price. Still looking.

 

I live near seattle, and was looking at that engine. I emailed him too, the dude is totally insane. He'll have that engine long after everyone's forgotten what a cbr1000F ever was. Can't you throw the engine from any year into a 1000F frame? Are the dimensions different at all?

 

Yup, I'd be better off buying another bike (same year group) and having a few other spare parts. I've been told other engines won't fit the frame.

 

this is closer.

And cheaper, I know nothing about this bike.

And really crappy, don't waste your time on the Reedsburg WI stuff.
