According to 'how many left' there are 1013 registered CBR1000F in the UK.
Just thought I would share that piece of information.

I wonder who's got the oldest and newest?

 

That is actually quite interesting. Especially looking back at some of the vehicles I've owned over the years:

57 MkVII Jag : 104

63 Austin Healey : 30

Mk1 Cortina GT : 59

H2 Kawasaki : 8 (probably not a real surprise to be fair)

The UK has about 12x the population of NZ, but I bet we could beat every one of those numbers. No salt on the roads in winter makes a huge difference to vehicle life.

 

Tell me about it will ya! My last car only had 130k mi on it when I had it hauled away. The trailing arms rotted out of it.

My current car, Lincoln Town Car, I am replacing this week. The frame is rotting away. It has 152k mi and they say you can get over 300k on them. I just replaced all the rotted brake and fuel lines on it.

My daughters car had rockers replaced 2 years ago and their gone again.

My ex-wife stopped by yesterday and said that when it rains, her legs get wet because the salt eat her floor boards out.

My utility trailer has flaking paint because I thought the roads were dry and pulled it 5 miles.

The list goes on but I do ride when it gets cold and have been trapped by them throwing salt. It eats up all aluminum parts in hours. I have owned a few bike with salt eaten side cases. If that **** ever gets into things like side stand switch or other electrical systems, you are totally f...........

 

Rick are you sure about this?
What is 'how many left'?
I find it very hard to believe that there are so few in the UK.
What years are we talking about that this so called count captures?

 

Hi Henry,

go to howmanyleft.co.uk

according to the site its the total number registered/sorn in the uk for all models.

Funny thing, there was quite a big Classic Car show in Dunedin a couple of weeks back.

The provincial newspaper had a full page of photos from the show, and there in all its glory was my old Mk1 Cortina GT. Different color nowdays but still the same rego number that it had when I sold it back in 1982(?).

Freaky coincidence.

 

I reckon that the percentage still running and on the road compared to total sold is a LOT higher than any other bike of the late 80's and 90's from any other manufacturer.
They are just sooooooooooooo strong !
