Hi guys!
Having read with interest the threads recently about buying a Blackbird and heeding John's (Jaws) advice re: buying carbed over injection (and somewhat dictated to by my budget), yesterday I picked up my first Blackbird and my fourth CBR!
Having previously owned the CBR600F, CBR600RR and CBR 929 RRY FireBlade, I can now claim to have completed the set!
According to some, at 31 I'm too young to own a Blackbird, but if the ride home from Reading to St. Albans yesterday was anything to go by, I think I'm gonna enjoy it!
So here she is. A 1997 carbed model with just under 27k on the clock. Not bad for an 11 year old bike, let alone a Blackbird!
The bike's pretty much standard bar the double bubble screen (very effective) and a Scottoiler (not sure if the hugger was standard or not) and it looks like the front mudguard's been extended and a plastic shield has been installed to protect the downpipes. Plans involve a wingrack and some luggage, clear indicator lenses and maybe some heated grips.
