http://i64.tinypic.com/14w4scj.jpgIt’s one of the classics, this was the unlimited Fuel Injection model, 164bhp, 24ltr fuel tank and a host of revisions to the original carb model focusing on handling and performance.
These are fantastic bikes and can do it all from back road hustling to touring, it takes it all in its stride and the model is well regarded as mechanically bulletproof.
The engine never feels stressed and the low down torque makes it a breeze to ride through town.
Its a big bike, maybe not for the first time bike owner but will forgive a lot.
Its in excellent condition, I just don’t have time to ride anymore and I hate seeing it not being used.
I’ll entertain trades for guitars.
Alas, she has now been sold.
Bye bye Blackbird
