Default My girlfriend's 97 F3.

I just bought this bike for $2500. It only needs fork seals replaced and a front tire. It is in great shape for it's age. It has some light rash on the left fairing but it is only noticeable up close. It came with Vance & Hines 4-2-1 comp system, K&N filter, ignition advancer, a brand new pirelli diablo rosso rear tire, and an electric popper set up to remove the seat without having unbolt it. It has 33k on the clock.

Very Nice! Excellent find on the F3. The fairings look great.

Is this her first bike or has she ridden before? How is the ride height for her?

It is her first bike. She has only walked it up and down the driveway. Her work schedule conflicts with all of the local MSF class dates that are available. I'm trying to get her to get the time off to take the class soon or she will have to wait till spring. The ride height is just right for her. I need to turn the preload a bit.

That looks really nice. Congrats to her.

Wonder how many older but nice bikes like that are just sitting in garages & storage units out there.

There have been a lot good barn finds around here. Our dispatcher the union hall found a complete 1948 Indian sitting in an old barn. He dumped a small chunk of change into it and it is beautiful!

Nice looking bike, I love those colors and the seat looks good with the white on the back.

Hope she enjoys it!
