I've always called my 1000F "BIG BIRD"
Just seems to fit somehow

I call her Tracy.. I really don't know why. It came to me one day, when my gf asked me who I was talking to.

Obviously my bike is called Shadowfax, thats not my nickname- its my steed! Comes from Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" It is the name of Gandalf's horse, and I couldn't put it more eloquently then he... Thus my Tag Line:

Red face

You call her (and I'm assuming she's a "Her", as most bikes are) the man? Or is it: "The Man"? They have kinda different connotations...just sayin'

I call my bike Naomi. I bought her with a carbon fiber tank pad that has a blonde girl wearing a blue bikini same blue as my bike. At first I was like thats the first thing thats coming off (was going to replace with a plain carbon fiber one). But then I was sitting on her while she was warming up and I looked down at her and she winked at me! lol She's never coming off!

thanks bro.... when I was shopping around I went to go see a dull navy blue rr that I actually thought was black. It completely threw me off. I actually was shopping for a red bike. But when i saw this blue in person I knew I had to have it. I want to do a few more things to it but nothing major i like the way it looks now. Maybe Honda carbon tank knee pads. HID's and thats it. Can't wait for spring here.... damn RI winters

I hear you man.... what color you looking to paint it? I like the F3's but decided on spending the extra cash because I didn't want to deal with an older bike (was nickel and dimed to death my an old CRX I had lol). I sold that and bought a 5th gen prelude (my other baby) and then My rr..... The 03-04's are priced very decent nowadays. you won't be disappointed plus the price will be offset with the sale of your F3. Good luck bro
