Ok, this is my first posting. I'm the guy that drove over the mtn's and bought it! This is my first Bird, I currently have a '96 CBR 1000F, love the bike but have always wanted a XX. I stumbled upon the craigslist ad last Friday am, got my ass over there first thing Sat. and layed some cash down without even a test ride. (6 inches of snow on the ground)
I'll be picking it up Monday (after a ride to check the mechanics, ride quality, etc.) but it looks like a well loved Bird!!! I'm paying less than he asked also. I'm super excited, can't sleep at night, have watched every damn You Tube video I can find........
I've got it bad, got it bad, got it bad.............I'm hot for Blackbird. (hey this group has awesome emicon's)
Hey SilverBird, I've got a XR650 as well. Let's get out and go riding man!
