I just bought a 2000 bird a couple weeks ago and its awesome. I rode 900RRs for about a decade and have since decided to calm down a bit from my youth and get a big, fast, comfortable couch! Its great!

The history on the bike is as follows... as far as I know.
I bought it from OC357 who bought it from Ed last year. Its super clean and has just over 27k miles on it. I need to do the FI light issue "fix" as it pops on on occasion.

Anyway, I manage a bodyshop, and fixed up the scratches on it first thing. I got a new chain and sprockets for it, went one down in the front. I ordered a OEM Honda decal for the right fairing which wont be in for a couple more days. But so far I love riding the bike!

Here are some pics!
