Hi everyone. I'm hoping someone on here can help but I know it's a total long shot. The bike in the photo is my dad's old bird. He bought it new in 2005 with the registration NU05 BYK. I'll have been about 10 at the time and a few years later we went round Scotland together on it. My dad went all over Europe with his mates on this bike and loved it. It was fitted with Blue flame exhausts and a double bubble screen, and I believe heated grips. A few years later he replaced it with a ZZR1400 thinking it was a good move and has regretted it ever since. Whenever he sees a photo of the blackbird he always says how he should never have sold it. To him it's the bike that got away.
I want to try and track down the owner of this bike with the intention of trying to buy it back for my dad, if they're willing to sell. As of yesterday evening it's still insured, taxed and tested on UK roads so it's still out there somewhere. If anyone has any info, please let me know.
It initially was sold to a guy in Scotland, I believe possibly the Dumfries area - looking at the annual mileage on the MOT history it's possible that it may still be owned by the same person.
I appreciate it's finding a needle in a haystack but I really want to try and get it back for my old man.
Thanks in advance.
