Two weeks ago, Beginning of May 2013,

Its second hand, a 2006 (Black) Bird,

My last bike was a ZX9R

Have previously owned a (Carb) Model Blackbird in Red, always thought it the best bike to have, and after a major bike accident have decided to get one again while I still can ride.

Regards
Stuart

About three weeks ago

1999 carbed Black-Bird

Last bike was a Hinckley Bonnie

I wanted more power

I had a bird ten years ago and loved it. Fell on the right deal at the right time
