Hi all,
Great forum, signed up a few days ago as just purchased my first Blackbird. I’ve had sports bikes before TL1000R, R1 & Aprillia RSVR, “I was slimmer & younger” got a BMW R1200gsa now, but miss a sports bike so thought I’d get a real sports bike “THAT SORT OF FITS”. Funds are tight so purchased a 2003 Blackbird locally “cheap-ish”.
Good points: Black, Akrapovics, Power Commander set up by HM Racing, ok miles 42k, rides nice. Bagster saddle, tank cover & bag.
Bad points: It’s been a commuter, corrosion on forks.....and everywhere , sketchy history.....loads of bills & receipts but not for the last few years. Slight marks & scuffs. (I think I will put it in for a full service for peace of mind).
I’m sure it hadn’t been properly cleaned for years, give it a good going over and to my surprise come up pretty good, going to strip off fairing next weekend to clean and see what needs sorting.
I will hopefully see you all at a meet soon
Kind regards,
Liam
