HONDA CBR1000F SPORTS TOURER 1989. NOT ZZR FJ FJR FZR GSX GSXR BANDIT

HERE FOR SALE IS MY HONDA CBR1000F. 1989. I BOUGHT THIS BIKE BACK IN MARCH 2010 AS A CHEAP TOURER TO RE-KINDLE MY OLD TOURING ASPIRATIONS. WELL  SHE CERTAINLY HAS DONE THAT. SINCE THEN. I HAVE TOURED WALES. SCOTLAND AND THEN A 2500 MILE TOUR OF FRANCE. SPAIN AND PORTUGAL. SHE HAS NEVER MISSED A BEAT IN THE 12000 OR SO MILES I HAVE ADDED TO HER. OBVIOUSLY. BEFORE DOING THIS. SHE HAD A THOROUGH GOING OVER SERVICE WISE. LAST YEAR. SHE WAS TREATED TO NEW FRONT AND REAR WHEEL BEARINGS. A NEW BATTERY. CHAIN & SPROCKETS. TYRES. A FULL SERVICE AND RE-GREASED HEAD BEARINGS AND SHOCK LINKAGES WHILST THEY WERE AT IT. NEEDLESS TO SAY. SHE RUNS SWEET AS A DREAM. THE ENGINE IS CREAMY SMOOTH WITH PLENTY OF POWER. EARLIER THIS YEAR. SHE WAS TREATED TO A FURTHER SERVICE WITH VALVE CLEARANCES AND CARB BALANCING TOO. THIS WAS DONE JUST SHY OF 1000 MILES AGO. SHE HAS A SCOTT OILER FITTED. OXFORD HEATED GRIPS. BRAIDED FRONT BRAKE LINES ALL DONE BY ME. I HAVE ALSO FITTED A CIGARETTE LIGHTER SOCKET FOR SAT NAV/PHONE CHARGERS ETC AND A FAN OVER-RIDE SWITCH. THE FAN COMES ON AS IT SHOULD WHEN TEMPERATURES RISE. BUT AS I WAS TOURING EUROPE AND HOTTER COUNTRIES LIKE SPAIN AND PORTUGAL. I THOUGHT THIS A GOOD IDEA. IF YOU SWITCH THE FAN ON AS SOON AS YOU HIT TRAFFIC. THE TEMPERATURE DOESN'T RISE! TYRES (METZELER MEZ8) SHOULD BE GOOD FOR ANOTHER 2000 MILES. THEY ARE JUST PAST HALF WORN AND I NORMALLY GET 6-7K FROM THESE.  I HAVE PURCHASED. BUT NEVER FITTED A PAIR OF SECOND HAND FRONT DISCS AS THERE IS SOME LIGHT PULSING FROM THE FRONT BRAKE. BUT I HAVE NEVER GOT AROUND TO FITTING THEM AS IT DOESN'T SEEM BAD ENOUGH TO ME TO WARRANT DOING YET. HOWEVER. I HAVE INCLUDED THESE IN THE SALE. ALSO INCLUDED IN THIS SALE IS A SPARE GRAB RAIL THAT I INTENDED TO SPRAY UP AND SWAP OVER. BUT AS ALWAYS. I NEVER FOUND THE TIME. THERE ARE A FEW MARKS HERE AND THERE. PLUS A PATCH ON THE LEFT FAIRING WHICH HAS BEEN RE-PAINTED. SO. I'M GUESSING THAT SHE HAS BEEN OVER AT SOME POINT. BUT NOTHING THAT LOOKS THAT HEAVY. THEREFORE. AS ALWAYS. I DO RECOMMEND VIEWING BEFOREHAND. PLEASE CONTACT ME VIA EMAIL IF YOU WISH TO DO THIS BEFORE BIDDING. INCLUDED IN THIS SALE IS THE ORIGINAL HAND BOOK THAT CAME WITH THIS BIKE FROM NEW AS WELL AS SOME HISTORY AND A WORKSHOP SERVICE MANUAL. SO THERE YOU HAVE IT. A CRACKING RELIABLE BIKE FOR SOMEONE WITH A FEW MARKS HERE AND THERE. THERE IS A SMALL CRACK ALONGSIDE THE LEFT INDICATOR. WHICH I WILL ADD A PICTURE OF LATER. APPARENTLY THIS IS QUITE COMMON ON THIS MODEL. WOULD MAKE SOMEONE A GREAT WINTER BIKE. BUT IS MORE THAN CAPABLE OF TOURING HALF OF EUROPE. JUST LIKE I DID. ANY QUESTIONS. PLEASE ASK. DUE TO FRAUDSTERS AND GENERAL CON ARTISTS. PAYMENT IN CASH ON COLLECTION ONLY. A RECEIPT WILL BE GIVEN. OPEN TO UK BIDDERS ONLY. REMEMBER. YOU BID TO BUY. WINNING BIDDER TO ARRANGE COLLECTION. SET AT A LOW STARTING BID. SO PLEASE NO SILLY OFFERS AS SUCH MESSAGES WILL NOT BE ANSWERED. I WILL NOT SELL FOR ANY LESS. I AM ONLY SELLING AS I PURCHASED A NEWER BIKE EARLIER THIS YEAR AND THE MISSES SAID EITHER THE EXTRA BIKE GOES. OR SHE DOES. IT WAS A CLOSE DECISION!!!
