1988 CBR1000F w/450 miles!!
Hey Everybody, its nice to find a site just for the CBR crowd. My name is Jon and I live in Seattle. I lucked out and picked up a 1988 CBR with 450 miles last year. I have spent the last year restoring it. It is running sweet now and I am ready for the coming season that is for sure. One of the only times I am having fun is when I jump on this cool speed machine and take off for a ride. I have been riding it alot over the winter since we had a very mild winter here. The bike now has just under three thousand miles on it already. I have learned alot about restoring this bike so if anyone needs any help with working on theirs let me know. I will post some pictures soon. Take it easy and keep on riding!!

Hey Crash, thanks for the reply, the guy I got this bike from had a awesome collection of vintage bikes and this one honda hurricane. He had the original bill of sale from 1988. He rode it about a week or two and then parked it and never rode it again. I found out he had it and asked him if he wanted to sell it a couple of years ago!! Last year he comes in to the store I work at and asks me if I am still interested in it for $1200.00. Needless to say I jumped on it. It was in a little rough shape as far as a rusted up tank,clogged carbs, and the original tires. All that is taken care of now and it is running great. I have a couple of friends with CBR1000s too so yeah if you ever get over this way let me know and if I plan any riding up your way I will let you know to!! Pictures are on the way. Thanks Again
