Hi All w;;v

Just picked up a 98 bird with 9,000 miles on the clock, loving it so far. How can anyone buy one of these and hardly ride it?

I know it needs clear indicator lenses but need to buy a Bagster bra and bag first no way am I sticking my magnetic one on this tank.

Oh and its the the fastest colour :-0)

So come on then Lord do tell Why is it blue..........................:dunno:

Well I didn't set out to buy a blue one in fact I didn't set out to buy one at all, it was a toss up between a Busa and a Bird, I am 6ft 5in tall sitting on the Busa my knees were in my armpits not good when you use your bike almost every day for commuting rain or shine winter or summer.
Had a sit on the Bird and it was just soo comfy loved it colour and all and deep down I am really a Honda man.

My 6yo daughter calls it a Bluebird lol

 

[robsbird]

its a good looking bike but i ask why is it blue as they did not make a blue bike in 98 and did you know why it was changed......:dunno:

I knew someone would pick up on that eventually, well done @tu*, it was originally silver, apparently as the story goes an old guy had it but hardly used it just sat in garage, had lots of scratches and knocks on it over years from just sat there so he sold it his mate which sprayed it blue as he liked the new colour better.
Although the dealer only decided to tell me after I had pointed out it looked like it had paint.
They made a good job of paint but then got Stevie Wonder to stick the stickers on so I have some new ones coming to replace them as they made a right mess, managed to rip one in half while applying by the looks lol.

 

[robsbird]

what's the paint code under the seat......................as they did not do a cab bird in silver...........
