Default Happy as hell

Well, I sold the girlfriends F3 last Monday. Put it on Craigslist for and literally 2 hours and 50 minutes later, it was gone.

Yesterday I bought a cherry 1999 F4 with a brand new carbon fiber Yoshimura oval slip-on, brand new tires, frame sliders installed and a tank bra. 10,900 miles when I picked it up at 8:15 last night - when I pulled into the garage at 2am, the odometer read 11,068.

This is going to be a dedicated track bike - I'm completely stripping it down this winter to convert it and I'm going to keep everything that makes it a legal street bike just in case for whatever reason.

It's got the silver and red paint scheme (one of my absolute favorites) and it rund harder than hell. I'm happy -as soon as I get off of work I'll post some picsup!

Oh yeah, it's also got an undertail installed, plate relocater, integrated LED tailight and hotbodies flushmount LED's up front. Really is a sick looking bike!

That rocks, Kid! How far do you have to travel to get to a track?

Also forgot to mention that with the bike came a spare tank and a brand new rear racing plastic with the solo seat cowl. Seems perfect considering what I want to do with it.

I'm heading out now - gonna take some sweet pics... stay tooned

Yeah - the sliders suck. I think they may belong to a crash cage, in any case I've got a buddy who wants them and we're gonna swap - he's got black spools.

Voodoo - there are tracks in Topeka, KS., central Iowa, northern Illinois and St. Louis. Need to find a truck and trailer.

I'm pretty damn excited... here are some decent pics from today...

Oh yeah, it's a 2000, as well. Apparently Motorcyclist magazine shows the dyno readings from the 1999 and the 2000 and the 2000 showed 4hp less than the 1999. The myth is that there were a couple of thousand 2000 models built in late 1999 without the new emissions changes hence a, "unique bike."

The title says 1999, the frame says 2000 and the VIN matches each other. Anyone know anything about this supposed Honda Legends?
