Was it you who was going on about early(ish) R1s? Saw this one today in a dealer, obviously one never knows if it's worth the money given the age, even for the mileage, but it looked very clean (as it should for under 3k miles). http://tinyurl.com/3ok6ov I'd buy it if I had the money to burn. I actually think that model is sexier than the newer shapes, which are just too cock-waving-alpha-male for me. -- TD 1991 VFR400R NC30 (black and red) 2001 ZX-9R (red and black) 1999 M5 (neither black nor red) Missing: SOB, Unreliable Italian exotica, Lardy tourer
I don't disagree, but retro classics can be in any colour, apparently it's part of the charm. <g> That's why I've got a red 9R[1]. [1] Actually I wanted a green one but they seem to be more expensive for some reason, besides due to a mistake made in my youth, my leathers are red. -- TD 1991 VFR400R NC30 (black and red) 2001 ZX-9R (red and black) 1999 M5 (neither black nor red) Missing: SOB, Unreliable Italian exotica, Lardy tourer
