THE BIKE IS NO LONGER FOR SALE***

Thanks for pointing that out to me because I should edit the post to read that it is has a (Restored/after Salvaged) title. I had to take it to the DMV to get it inspected and relicenced, etc

It is with tears that I am writing this for sale ad. A permanent move across the US is the deciding factor 2003 CBR1100xx Blackbird (Always Garage Kept) (39,000 miles) Accessories: Included are Givi (E52 topcase) and Givi Keyless side cases ($1,000 + when bought new) Twin Yoshimura exhaust which make it sound amazing! Powerlet Accessory Plug Sport Touring Windshield Ram mounts for several electronic devices included a cell phone and IPOD I have owned it since it had only 2,000 miles and have extensive records of all maintenance and upgrades. *****NOTE: - CLEAN TITLE but it was knocked over in a parking lot a few years back and the cosmetic damage was enough to make it salvaged. However, I did get everything fixed and took it to the DMV so the title now states that it is (Restored/Salvaged) and has been licenced for the road for years now. . Pictures included show the cosmetic damage. FIRM $2,300!!!!! No haggling,

THANK YOU so much for your time and inuput Superhawk! I will try that all out tomorrow. You definitely may be on to something with the battery. It is a few years old and Arizona isn't kind to batteries. Thanks again and "let the force be with me" I need my therapist back on the road! Michael

I moved last October and had a friend take care of getting my 2003 blackbird into storage. I think he tried the big "no-no" when trying to get it jump started and used his car. He won't admit to it and ASSERTS that he turned the car off before trying the jump. Anyways, after the bike sat for 7 months, I installed the fully charged battery that I had taken out and now there is ABSOLUTELY no power when the ignition is on. I checked all the fuses (including the main one) and they look fine. Any help would be appreciated. I fear for the worst. Michael Mesa, AZ
