Well I have another bike...woohooo

**kneescraper** · 4th February 2007, 17:51

Hey guys and gals.

I've just brought my self a Honda CBR1000f, it needs a new front tyre and some other work but for the price (don't even ask

) its a good deal. I should get it late next week if not the next. I'll post pictures once I get it and inform you guys how it rides etc.

I'm quite happy with the purchase as I'm wanting a larger bike for making the big trips up north to the old mans place...oh and to see the places GIJOE talks so highley about.

I really hope its as good (for the price) as the photos and owners says.

Oh yeah, if any one knows of any sites with any info and pictures about these bikes that would be great. I might even pay a visit to Roxanne while Im up north...it would be great to see another one of these bikes..as we have none in my town.

Sweet one mate , looking forward to the pics , those bikes have almost bullet-proof motors.

I would love to hear about their engines etc. Ive always thought they have tough engines. How many kms would you expect out of one of these bikes...if its been serviced at a normal rate.

what kinda k's has it done also is it a speed limited one? ya can tell from the speedo, if it stops at 180kph ish then its limited, but have heard of an easy fix for that somewhere.
but look forward to the pics of it.
and well done too.
whats the color and year?

**kneescraper** · 4th February 2007, 19:26

Ummm it has done very high KMs...80,000MILES!!!! +. Umm its the unlimited version. Red in colour! Im really hoping these engines last awhile...I'm going to give it one hell of a service once I get it.

dam thats some impressive miles. but there should still be alot of distance left in that engine. bearings and cam chain would be something too look into, but dam thats brilliant miles. hope to see ya up hear when ya visit roxanne.

**kneescraper** · 4th February 2007, 19:35

Hahaha yep...I'm worried about how the engine will go. My last bike was a RGV250 so I'm kinda use to a high maintance machine...however this is a Honda so Im hoping to get better running out of her. The cam chain was done 2 or so years ago...not sure about how many Miles it was done.

When I get her I will give it new sparkies, carb balance, oil and filter change and a good check over and clean. Once I have got her looking good again and running to 100% I will travel up north to Whangarei to see the Old man and his XJR1300. On the way I hope to meet GIJOE and all the other riders.

Am I right to be worried about the high KMs or with this beast last for ever...

Ive had one of these bikes..

Shit its self at 75,000kms...

Fckin Cam chain came off and destroyed the top end....

Crazy Steve...

Dude this bike with those MILES would have to be cheap or free!!!

**kneescraper** · 4th February 2007, 19:46

Nothing in life is free.

I can still pull from the sale if I want to..I will see what the Honda mechanic says. Dont know if I can trust a crazy person....atleast one with a MO'. Hahahah just kidding Steve. Yeah it is high...a bit to high! Hmmmmm

**kneescraper** · 4th February 2007, 19:50

They can last 200kms ive heard from Gud Mech's...

Mine didn't..

And it was maybe thrashed and never serviced...

But seroiusly a Mech won't ever say yes to buying a 130,000km bike...

I think the repair bill for that head damage was $2500ish...But I only paid $1000 for the bike..And when i brought it it had done 62,000kms..

So i had got my moneys worth...

And sold it for $300....

Crazy Steve..
