Quite a decline after the 2003 model year. From the numbers it looks like the North American market was about 90% of the total. Makes one wonder why Honda stopped importing after that year.  |

'99. Bought with 4,900 miles on her in February. Went for my first real ride last weekend and I can't wait until the next one. (I'll come up with a better avatar pic as soon as I find someone with a decent camera).

How on earth did you find a '99 with 5 thou on the clock. Where are these old Birds, they don't seem to be in Canada. Are there any '06,'07's in the US? It warms my heart to know there's a Bird with nearly 320,000 kms on it. My "02 only has 102,000 kms.

My '01 in candy glory red. I got it at 6K miles, and I'm sad to say I've only put 800 miles on her so far. But they are great miles!

Bit miffed. I bought my bird a year ago and was informed by the shop that it was a 99 Bird. Just ripped the bike apart to re-spray and do some mods, only to discover that it's a 98 Bird. But hey, still the best bike I've ever owned (until I can talk the wife into letting me have an MV Augusta F4).

No idea yet, found a sticker on the frame that says 1100XX-W which would make it a 98. I'll be having a look at the FI/carb side of things once I know what I'm looking for!

Just look for where the oil cooler is. If it is mounted infront of the radiator, it's a '99. If the nostrils have mesh instead of vertical bars, it is '98 model. I used to have a Candy Apple Red '98 until it died by dropping when I lightly touched the brakes to maintain my separation from a car infront of me at 100-110kph on a freeway (60-65mph). Front just dropped out with no sign of it locking at all. Then it went off the side of the road on it's side and hit a cheesecutter post. Front wheel hit it straight on and it put a 4-5 inch dent into the rim. The post was completely unmarked. That was Sep 04. I just got a new bike after almost 3 years and it is another 'bird, this one is a Black 1/07 model.  |

The short answer is, no money to replace it. 2 (now 3), kids and being out of full time work for 2 years... (The isurance had to help finance a cage replacement,  as I haven't figured out how to get a <1yo to stay put... Occy straps maybe??? And the cost of keeping them in helmets... )It hasn't been easy, and the last few months I've been getting twitchy... So when I saw them for $12,990+orc, what else could I do?  My sister, (who is 10y older than me and also has her license, but usually just rides pillion on my brother-in-law's Buell), also said that she wondered how I lasted so long without one. |

Well unfortunately I hit something on the freeway that put hole in the oil pan and by the time I could get off the freeway(SoCal rush hour in the carpool lane) the crank was ruined. So I got a low milage motor a couple of years ago that now only has about..mmmmm.....getting to close to 80,000 miles The first motor had 76,000, it had a very unusual problem right after I got it but after I fixed that I had no problems, the second motor is very strong no problems. The real suprise is that I have never had the rear shock off of it and I went 100,000 miles before I had to change the fork seals, one just blew again though in only 30k. Oh ya I looped it once and got hit on hit once. I will never get rid of this bike!
