This one arrived today, filling a bit of a gap in the garage left after I sold my ZZR1400 gen2 a couple of months ago.

First reg.d Sept 2000 , 15k miles and 100% bog standard. Almost blemish free paintwork but a bit of scabby metalwork underneath.

Ideal condition for me to bring up to a near showroom standard alongside my 99 Busa.

I hope not to ask too many questions, there’s plenty of detail on the forum to search for.

And the Busa for comparison, the first one registered in the West Country

You clearly haven't understood the fundamentals of this forum - never, ever use the search facility, always, ALWAYS ask questions that have been asked and answered hundreds of times in the past.

Awful carpet by the way.

It's been scientifically proven that exercising the gray matter in old age helps to ward off dementia. By asking questions of the forum that have been asked hundreds of times before.... and by you answering them.... Malone is actually helping you to fight dementia.

Now say thank you.... you ungrateful old fart. :D

Wash yer feckin mouth out, ya turncoat.
Er, I'm not a turncoat.

I have consistently said the Blackbird is a rubbish bike.

I took the trouble to have two and ride over 150,000 miles on them to validate.

It took you 150,000k & two Birds to find out?
