Didn't like that much. so far this one has been great. plenty of rides this year; including three days to scotlands west coast again.
Welcome to the clan - a good ride down from Scotland will get you used to these girls.
Enjoy and hope to meet up with you soon.

Hello everyone my name is Alex and I am new here. I am the proud owner of my very first sport bike ever! (first motorcycle of any type actually) It is a 1993 Honda CBR 1000F and I am so excited about learning how to ride and enjoying this beautiful bike! The bike it self is immaculate to say the least, the only thing is the previous owner lost the key! So before I can enjoy it I am going to figure out how to solve this little problem!

Welcome to the CBR Forum Alex,

Good to see you found us as there is a very strong (and one could say possibly parochial) CBR1000F membership on the forum - from all over the world

Good luck with the key. Two ways I see of fixing the problem, 1. Remove the ignition switch (or pretol tank lock) and take it into a locksmith to get a key cut. Or 2. Buy a complete key set, including ignition lock, tank filler and seat lock off eBay (or a wrecker).

Of course you could just antagonise the previous owner till he/she found the original

Cheers, SB

Welcome to the world of CBRs and riding.

Lots of enthusiasm and expertise to tap on here, as well as friendly banter.

Enjoy.

The filler cap will probably be the easiest to remove. The ignition switch has given other members a lot of trouble to remove. Think it would be less hassle and cheaper to get keys cut for the bike rather than a new lock set.

BTY welcome to the forum!
