Wouldn't it be neat if the chart colors for the model years matched the bike colors for that year, i.e. the 2000 chart bar should be titanium colored.

My front fender is the only obvious indicator of year anymore. I am going to get paint on it this winter and it will resemble the original stock color.

Being Canadian, not many of them around here!

I started with a 97 (which was rear-ended and rode off) now I ride an 03 (purchased new).
It is completely stock, black, I swear always dirty . I hate to clean my bike, hard on the hands and I am scared of breaking a nail. Anyone want to drop by and clean it? There are benefits!

I would need to see the benefits package first but I'm sure I could help ya out Crystal

99 Bird for me hopefully she will be all back together in time for spring. Pretty sure you all know the story. Car hit bike I slide and flop down the road. Bird needs work love and parts.

'99, black (NH359M)... as I understand it, the only color available in the US at the time. I knew the was a change in the paint composition of the (black) '03 models, but I was surprised to learn that there are actually three versions of the black paint...

NH359M

NH418P

NH463M

'02 - Never did like the Bird in black, so bought a nice silver one. My first choice would have been blue, followed by red. I think maybe someday I'll do a nice custom paint job on my bike.....

Mine is a 1996'er

Only the poll starts with 1997.


The First BB's were build in 1996 but got the title: Model 1997.

Don't know what to do now.

Maybe the administrator could help me out with this by adding it to the poll?

Your bike has 1996 in the "VIN" tag?

Sorry, that's a US-only thing I guess. What year does the bike have on the title/paperwork?
