hello newb checking in
Guess i better say hi too
Im Rob and i have just got a early 87 1000f for a re intro to riding after selling up 5 or so years ago (illness and mortgage payments meant bye bye to my very loved and modded zx12r
)
Anyway this is going to be my first honda (sorry i allways had yams and kwaks unless you count my cr250,s i used to mx on)
I live in Dorset uk and the bike will be with me in a couple of weeks as its sat at my mates unit awaiting a mot
bike is well used but only done 43k miles so hope it still has some life left in it and looks like it will clean up well
rear tyre size is dissapointing but looks like a wheel swap shouldnt be too hard to do
Anyway enough waffle im sure ill be back to pick brains soon enough

Hi guys, from Huggy, Gold Coast, Australia
I've been reading parts of the forum for the past few months, and have found it really useful. Finally picked up a bike about a week ago, a 1994 cbr1000f has 46000 kms on the clock and is in very good nick. I've only been on her 4 times, but I can't get the smile off my face. Look forward to sharing my thoughts on the bike.
Cheers all
From Huggy

Welcome huggy! There are a few Aussies here and some from NZ, sounds like a ride should be organized.
BTW, the '94 is undisputedly the best 1kF out there. You will be hearing that a lot form the members. Of all the different years, it is by far the best production year, the best colors and the fastest.
How about a picture of this true gem? Everyone will want to see it.
Also, if you update your profile to show where you are from it helps us locate parts and rides for you, no to mention conversion factors. If we know that you are from down under, we will also understand why you talk funny and call a things like a wrench a spanner. LOL

huggy, 1994 cbr1000f, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia
Thanks for the welcome guys, I have just got home from work ( I am based in Brisbane, 75 kms each way) Being a Saturday the traffic was light. The bike performed absolutely beautiful. Had a late finish, so I tested the lights out on the way home.
Really impressed with the stable feel and the smooth delivery of power. Why didn't I buy one of these in the 90's or before!
I don't know how to post pictures yet, I'll go and and read the thread on same, and give it a go.

Huggy's bike pics
Sorry for being so slow guys, I know Shadow and Tim buc two have been waiting with anticipation. Finally had some time to put the pics up. I'm off work for a couple of weeks over Christmas, I'm hoping to sneak out for a couple of early morning rides.
