ErikL Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 It's finally time to sell my pride and joy and release from work pressures. 2001 CBR 1100XX Blackbird. Excellent condition, no dings or scratches. Adult owned, never raced, never laid down, garage kept. I'm the 2nd owner and bought her with 5K on from a previous forum member. Candy glory red with 12K miles. 2 Bros carbon fiber oval exhaust cans, power commander usb, gen-mar risers, tank bra, laminar lip, extra corbin gunfighter and lady seat, matching painted beetle bags, shop manual on cd, Dave's pegs, and cover. If more pictures are needed, please let me know. All maintenance has been done, and only Mobil 1 used. I really don't want to sell her as she is the best bike I have ever had. My wife and I relocated to Indianapolis last year for my job. I work about 25 miles from my house and can only pretty much travel the 465 loop to work. I have had issues with cell phones, people applying makeup, and inconsiderate drivers tailgating, and cutting me off. Too many close calls. My wife happened to see one, and is putting her foot down on selling the bike. Any questions please call 317 518 0728 cell, or 317 399 6048 home. As a long time lurker here before I registered, I will miss all of the people here that I have corresponded with, and have purchased parts from. Erik Lorence Duh. It would have helped if I listed the price. First 5,800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOXXIC Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Beautiful bike! I would have bought this one over the low mileage 01 bird I bought. I know it is a long shot but if you decide to part it, I am interested in your Beetle bags. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurora Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Do you have the stock cans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97 exex Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Think I saw you and a buddy roll into the Red Ox in Castleton back in the spring. IIRC, your buddy rode an FZ and a girl with him. Not many that don't ride know the year by the color. If that's the bike (and pretty sure it is), I can vouch that its a jewel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikL Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 Do you have the stock cans? Hi Aurora, I do have the stock exhaust system for it. Erik Think I saw you and a buddy roll into the Red Ox in Castleton back in the spring. IIRC, your buddy rode an FZ and a girl with him. Not many that don't ride know the year by the color. If that's the bike (and pretty sure it is), I can vouch that its a jewel. Mark, thanks for the kind words. I have been to Castleton several times on the bike. I don't have any riding buddies that have an FZ though, mostly GSXR's. If it was a blue and white FZ, I think I followed them in.

BarryG Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Nice XX! Why not just keep it and ride it on the weekends? I can't imagine not commuting on mine but traffic is light on my 18 mi commute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikL Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Nice XX! Why not just keep it and ride it on the weekends? I can't imagine not commuting on mine but traffic is light on my 18 mi commute. Barry, That's the same question I posed to my wife. She said absolutely not. She thinks that I can get into an accident as easily on back roads as on major roads. Not true, but I can't convince her otherwise. In another life I used to race amateur motocross, and have done lap time at Beaver Valley Raceway in Pittsburgh on other sportbikes, but she doesn't believe me concerning traffic. I think the real reason is that we recently bought a used Audi TT for her, so she is using my close calls as an excuse to bargain for the garage space. She is letting me drive the TT so I can't complain too much. It is just not fair, but I need to keep peace in the family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just never been exposed to a wife/g/f that had any say in my riding. Been with the same girl since I started riding in '03. She doesn't ride with me anymore and it's not really her thing. But if she told me my bikes must go.....her opinion would be vetoed immediately without further discussion. She knows I enjoy my bikes and my commute and stays out of my business. I can't imagine giving up riding due to a spouse/girlfriend's demands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
