Thanks for the warm welcome guys! Lloydie; did you take your bird to the ADSA forecourt on Allard Way much in 2012?
Well done! I noticed on sunday that the edge of the nosecone fairing around the bottom of the screen is dark red. What gives it away as not being a natural blue? I presumed the nosecone had been replaced due to breakage and resprayed to match the rest of the bike... but do you think it's a full respray?
This one was declared new in 1998 by an independent importer and the odometer displays in kilometers (even though the speedometer and trip counter both display as mph/miles).
Hi BP and welcome..!
And ignore the daft old gits if they pick on you cos of the colour. Blue's the best by far. @tu*
Do you know what country it came from originally...? Mine was originally imported new from Belgium and registered in GB as new. I suspect the orignal owner may never have known. It turned out to be restricted to 100bhp (or whatever the Euro equivalent is..). Took me a while to find the method to de-restrict it but it's not difficult to do.
P.S. Blackbirds are always "she"...! That's why they're called BlackBIRDs...:-0)
