New bird

[ron d]

Hi all, just bought another blackbird, i sold the 53plate one just over a year ago and yep i regretted doing it, so i kept looking not sure what to do, so when a 1998 Titanium one came up with only 21000 mle on the clock ( seems right) i jumped at the chance and am now the proud owner of it, i will post pictures when i get a chance, cheers

Top banana ! I keep trying to get away from Bird owning but somehow never quite manage it .. Still nowt out there I prefer really

Yep i agree with that, i work for a Honda dealership and have ridden most of the new bikes, VFR1200 plus the dct and others and i can not find any of them that float my boat, mind you i am stupid as i also love Benelli's and have 3 of them but the blackbird is the dogs.

Blimey that's clean for a '98!! Where did it rack up it's 21k, rolling road in a garage??

My 27k '98 isn't quite so pristine.

If your a volvo fan then the gul T5-R estate is the one most people would like to own at one stage.

I mention that because I feel the same way about a carbed titanium's, They certainly seem to be gaining in popularity.

In 2011 it passed and shows 18765 mile on the certificate and previous ones show little mileage in between mot's, in the first eight years it looks like that was when most of the mileage was done as in 2006 it had 15k, i am over the moon with the bike, the side stand issue was a bent stand so the guy's at graft heated and straightened it and it is now a lot better, they picked up on a small thing that the clutch lever clicks when letting it out so i will remove clean and refit the small plunger that sits inside the lever housing, fingers crossed if thats all i have to contend with, happy days. @tu*
