Well I thought I would make my first post one to introduce me and my newly bought 1999 Cbr1100xx.
I have just bought this for a bargain price and with an easily identifiable paint job which was done by the previous owner by Mean machine in Nottingham.
I have owned it for 5 days now and my initial reservations of it being a heavy cumbersome bike have already been lost along with any want to own a different bike(well an Mv Agusta F4s would be nice for the summerbrok3)
My previous bike was a Suzuki Gsxr 750 srad 1996 custom paint job, and lots of tuning. I decided to get rid of it after replacing the engine once, along with almost everything else on the bike to get something more comfortable still capable of loosing my license many times over and with better known reliability.

1997 is a p or a r, but also how feckin high are the bars raised up the forks!!.

Na not scared me off just been out busy riding while the weather has been good before the cold British riding begins.:-0)
Like most things its down to personal opinion and who cares if you can see it at from night from the Russian space station I like it :-0)
Not a graphics kit although seems to be an easy option to nick somebody elses design rather than create your own and I have seen a few different variations of this nothing as loud as the paint scheme on mine lol
