'Bird in the stable. I think I'll need an attorney on retainer!

[Stray Cat]

A special delivery came today.



 

[Jetpilot5]

Watch your speed.  

Beautiful bike.  Enjoy!

[Zen Rider]

Beautiful bike, indeed.  

Love that color.

[Stray Cat]

It is stunning, isn't it  

Needs new tires though. They POs seemed to like long straight stretches of road. Plus they are older BT57's. I don't think that they are even made any longer.

[mtrider16]

What happened to the Yamaha?  I think I may be a little behind on your bike purchasing.    Last time I saw you, you had the front swing are thingy.

[Stray Cat]

That was the GTS. I sold that last year about this time. It was a cool bike, and if there was any aftermarket or manufacturer support for it, I would have kept it. Finding parts or farkles was next to impossible.

Lot's of good 'bird stuff out there.  

[birdrunner]

Welcome to the XX side of things.

Red is nice,  but remember the Blue ones are fastest.

[SilverHound]

Very purdy! Looks just like mine. It's a great bike but I think that the speedo on them is messed up because every time I look down at mine I seem to be going 120 mph and I know that I never ever go over the speed limit.

[2RR2NV]

that is one DEAD SEXY bike!  err..  1 moment plz.............



..  dabnabit..  darn tissue paper........




whew, ok....i'm back. wow!  that ride is bada$$...  oh  err...gotta go.  

[vulcanbill]

The final nail in the coffin of the 1000F?  

[merrily]

might consider pre-paid legal services.

[googus]

Nice
I might even like the color better than my black one:)

[Stray Cat]

The final nail in the coffin of the 1000F?  

You know I really like the 'cane. It's a really good bike, and I bought it as a 'tweener thinking I would get another, but it's lasted the longest of my recent bikes.
It's farkled well and rides great. It will be a sad day when it rides away. But alas it will ride away.

I suspect the rides great part will become less and less relevant now that its grandson is in the house.  Sometimes I miss mine.  Usually when I'm looking at pictures of it all clean.  Then I remember it wallowing around in turns and eating batteries and then I don't miss it so much.  I definitely remember loving it in cold weather and on the interstate.  Balllistic sofa.  

[MadMax96]

In my best Napoleon Dynamite voice - "luckeeeee"
   

[Steve Smith]

I.M.O. the very best looking stock color is that red!  :thumbsup:Be good to her and she won't let ya down.

[Gsam]

Great looking ride, as you already know it is so smooth you really have to watch the speedo. mine just wants to cruise at 100  

[Mookie]

Sweet move there Randatolla!

In like 3rd gear

+ 1 for Jeannie's legal prowess.   This may be a very good idea all things considered.

She sure helped me out a while back during the ole "FJR" days (the damn throttle kept sticking open on that bike    ).

Side Note:  I think you will find the XX to be much smoother through the RPM range than the Fejjer.

Good luck and enjoy the new ride.  

[TuffguyF4i]

I love mine.  This is my sport tourer.  





The guys over at cbr1100xx.org are great.  Very helpful with any questions about any bikes, but they know the xx inside and out.  

[XLR8]

Congratulations, except your bike will be faster than mine.  

It's very pretty.  

[greench440]

That's pretty sweet    I wish I could think of something witty to say.  Stop by on Saturday, I'll be around.

[DosEquis00]

Congrats on the Bird as I do like the red ones.

[Stray Cat]

I'll try, but I've got to get the title changed, and some new shoes for her. These old BT57's are pretty square.

Beautiful Bird ya got there Stray Cat. I love mine, been the best overall motorcycle I've ever owned. Very easy to live with, but deceptively fast as others point out. As for shoes, I have some new Pirelli Diablos that I like very much.

[TuffguyF4i]

They are deceptively fast.  For the first time, i bounced mine off the rev limiter in 2nd, while passing 3 cars and an 18 wheeler,,all with my wife on the back.

In a 45 zone, take me to jail speeds

[MuddDawg]

Yum.

Only the you part of we were napping

Hence the attorney on retainer in the topic!  
I have an incredible amount of self restraint. However every man has his limitations  

Yum.

It looks even yummier in person. We need to hook up for a ride before it gets too nasty out.

[emillard]

Beautiful XX.  That is my favorite color.  They seem to be rare.  Infact I've never seen one in person.  The best part of owning the bird is that no one knows what they are, kinda like a ZZR1200.

I'm the third owner of my bike and put about 17,000 happy miles on mine last year with not a problem to be found.  








PS:  I still like the red better!

[Loki]

Nice... You are going to love it...

Just remember....Ride Casual.....and they will never look twice at you.

Works for me

P;

[MuddDawg]

emillard.. Got    any sound bites of those Staintunes on your XX?  I love mine on my VFR

Defiantly......

[XLR8]

So have you had it out on a ride yet? What's it like?

[greench440]

I think he's waiting for the rain to stop.

[XLR8]

It rains there? No way!

[greench440]

In the words of Mr. Sunshine, its "chunging" today.  

[Wockman]

Nice BLACKbird    Even if it is red.

You'll never miss the 1000.

Here is mine.

[rajflyboy]

One of the Coolest bikes of all Time !!

[blackbuell]

Stray Cat,

I agree with many of the earlier posters--the color is stunning!

Remove the decals; drives other riders crazy trying to figure out what the hell it is.

Bird photos ought to be on page 1.
