Hi, Just bought a CBR100f on a 87 plate, 27k, and a bit of a project.
Promised myself after my 50th that i would get back onto 2 wheels.
Bike history, several Suzuki GT250/380/750, Kawasaki GPZ750,Z400,KE175.
Honda 400/4, CB900F2.
It's in need of some tlc but after a few hours and getting it to fire up we have decided to give it a re-furb.
Plans are to strip it and re-powdercoat the frame and give it a full make over.
After removing the plastics found this, mice had chewed through a couple of wires, nothing major.

Welcome to the CBR Forum Steve,
You have definitely come to the right place - and welcome back to the world of two wheels too.
The bike looks a solid start so ask any questions you need.
Your right in the Hurricane age demographic and we love a good rebuild.
Drop into the Hurricane Saloon and bring your sense of humour.
Cheers, SB

15 mins and we are in the peaks....
Years ago (80's) Matlock Bath on a Sunday, the good old days when X7's and the first LC's where wheeling up down the prom, plus the only place for miles on a Sunday to buy a bag of chips...
oh and the mouse an aftermarket mod by the previous owner.

I see you're in Chesterfield. I was born and raised in Dronfield. I was just back in May to watch the Lanc and Spitfire fly over Derwent dam for the dam busters anniversary. Last time I was in Matlock Bath there were some lovely old Nortons and Triumphs. Glad it's still the place to be on a bike during summer weekends.
