NOS CBX1000

This is better than a R1, and yes i had someone smack me from behind

Not really my cup of tea, no wonder they only made 500    I know they made it a production bike to gain entry to World Superbikes but what are they like for spares etc. ?

Spares available but, seat unit £1,780 and the tank is over £7K from Fowlers.

Back to CBX1000 for Norniron, here's a good article.

The one I ride is a 2001 carburetor model, I don't mind addmiting that I have never ridden it to anywhere near its capacity as the pulling power frightens me to death, and my brain just does not work that fast any more 
I also had an Exup in the mid 90's, couldn't handle the power on that either, that's when I started buying new CBR 600's, plenty fast enough for me.

Best and safest way to be, always ride within your limits, the only time mine gets opened up proper is on track days.

Spares worth a fortune dont give a shite what year it is would have it.Sorry guys dont go for fairing clad boy racer bikes so an R1 to me is a newer Bazza sheene bike didnt like them either
I am who I am and try not be be a racer man clone sorry if this upsets some dont mean to but on this site I thought you could air your views and yes in that time the rear tyres were too small
Julie thanks for that but Trigs right she definatley would not buy that one
A convertable motor quite possible
