I just picked up a 89 cbr 1000f, was a barn find covered in bird**** and hay for 6 or more years! I've spent the last two weeks polishing, unseizing the clutch/ hydraulic cylinders and a bunch of other cleaning/adjusting! Took it out yesterday and clocked up 270kms goes very well! I should have kept before and after pics.

 

Welcome to the forum, great find.
Wow, wish I could be out their with you stuck at home in lockdown.
That was some test ride! Just goes to show how good the Honda is.

 

Wow, great find indeed. Looks like you've put a lot of love into her already. They do have a comfortable seat. I picked mine up in Minneapolis, WI and rode to Ft. Lauderdale in S. FL over two days. It's a great way to get to know a new bike. Welcome to the forum.

 

Wonder how many of us in New Zealand there are on here? I have a similar story soon to be posted (rescued after 10 years in a lockup garage after a minor put down). Have modernised mine as fairings were stuffed.
