Hello All. Long time member, been absent a while though. I thought I'd post a little something to show off my 25 year XX anniversary ! I bought this '97 model brand new in May of '98. It has been an incredible machine. At a little over 100K miles, it's barely had any issues at all, and never anything serious. It has aged far better than I have

There have been no mechanical mods to it, just comfort and convenience add-ons.

I toyed with the idea of selling it in 2016, but couldn't go thru with it, I'm so glad I kept it. Having kids has slowed down the odometer quite a bit, but it still slowly accumulates more miles.

What a brilliant motorcycle! It still turns heads everywhere it goes.

Bought my 98 Bird in 99.
Once set off to test ride a VFR1200, but never got to the dealers as I changed my mind on route. Few years later set off to test ride a Triumph Triple, again changed my mind on route. So the Bird still sits snuggly in the garage waiting to be exercised. Cant see me ever selling her till I decide to stop riding. Wife thinks I love the Bird more than her!!!!
