  1. Ooops, I may have given you the wrong impression, sorry. I am 65 and have been riding for 50 years. The cx, when the waste gate is massaged, is strong enough to seriously pin your ears back as many squids sitting on the latest zoomers have found out. A most surprising sleeper it was. The old fart on the red, white and blue Turbo has surprised quite a few. My riding bud's range from low 30's to 50's and track time at Willow Springs once in a while. It is nice to ride all year round. I have ridden the Geezer and the new CBR is almost here, which may be the new hot ticket so I will wait to ride it. I want to do less canyon and more highway riding and while I am here recovering from an accident (Suv,illegal "U" turn= totaled CX Turbo) the idea of the Blackbird as my replacement ride has me wanting to find and buy the best, cleanest and most well maintained example of the breed that I am able to locate. I do not care where it is, if the bike is what I want I will travel. My family is in N.Y. and I will probably be in the city over the Holidays so if your Bird is still available I would like to see it and as I am serious I will have seen to shipping before leaving Los Angeles or arrange to leave it at my cousins home until Spring. It would be my 6th cross country ride. I live on my Sailboat and so if you and family find your way out west I can show you the Pacific ocean up close. A good friend of mine was with the Vance and Hines racing group for about 25 years and when I told him I wanted to replace the Turbo with a Blackbird, he thought it was a good plan and said the V and H might be able to transport a bike for me from anywhere in the country so there are some options. I will let you know when I firm up my travel plans. Thank you, Capt. Bob C
  2. I want to buy a Blackbird although I am not familiar with the pro's and con's and have not ridden one. I was knocked off of my CX650T and want a fast Sport Tourer and your Bird looks set up for that. Do you have more info or anything to add to your description? Photos? My email address is captnbobc@yahoo.com and can be reached at 310 722 7337. Thank you, Bob
