Welcome to the forum!
Congrats on the bike. We have loads of hurricane members around here. Stop by the hurricane section as well and say hi. They're usually good for a good laugh over there!

Welcome to the CBR Forum on da Honda - and good to see you have a CBR1000F

There is a very strong Hurricane membership on the forum as Demon says above, and there are a few laughs to be had. But as for knowledge and experience with keeping these beautiful old bikes on the road, you won't find better.

Post pictures of your bike when you can, and drop into the Hurricane Saloon and say Hi.

Cheers, SB

Welcome to the forums!

Only 7000 miles on the odo?!?! Wow, that's one heck of a find!

Here's to hoping the weather improves, in Guernsey we've got pretty much the same.

Hi On da Honda,

wecome to the forum. You got a major find there. Update your profile so we know where you are.

Don't know what you mean about the weather - I just ride unless its too bloody dangerous. 1800 miles done in October.

Mines a 93 with 89000 miles and still rolling.

Welcome aboard OdH! :-)

Congrats on getting your 1000F. Def a great find w/ that lower mileage. Did it have any maintenance history w/ it?

Hi thanks for the warm welcome everybody. Gotcbr no it doesn`t have any maintance history, apart from old MOTs. The previous owner only did 1000 miles in 13 years! And is a friend of a friend.
