Hi mate and to

Where are ya from then?

[T.Murphy aka Tim]

Lots of unanwerable questions re whats the best Bird. As you know, opinions are like arseholes and were all different

[T.Murphy aka Tim]

Depends on what you want to spend for starters. People will say "get a carb Bird" for various reasons that at the end of the day are trifling details. . They are all superb sports tourers.
Obviously one that's well looked after and as low a mileage as you can reasonably get just for your own peace of mind as these bikes are bullet proof.

Have a perusal of the Bird forums as everything you need to know about the Bird will be here and there somewhere.

Nice to see you here Tommy; I enjoy how you wind them fekkas up with your conspiracy theories. Spot on.

Any BIrd will be more capable than its rider. Unless your name is Eric, of course.

Hi Tommy, I've owned both Fi & carb'd 's. Not a lot of difference between 'em performance wise. As said above, engines are pretty much bullet proof, providing it's been looked after, i.e oil & filter changed. ( usually annually) Depends on your budget. I'd recommend a "test ride" on one first. A "double bubble" screen is preferred by most owners. Decent tyres, an "X ring chain", &, depending what mileage you want to do, a " Scott oiler " could be beneficial. They'll do a ton in second, in fook me, that was quick, & four more gears to go ! Or quite happy munching miles two up, with full luggage. If you can find a later Fi with lower mileage, within your budget, then Bob's your auntie. Happy hunting, regards, Sircular.
