I am reluctantly selling my Bird. She was originally sold on here last week but I am having to relist as my buyer was let down selling his bike and as a result could not buy my Bird. After a knee injury I do not feel confident riding her as she is a fair weight to hold up when stationary and I couldn't hold her up late last year on the drive and had to let her lie down (a few scratches to the right fairing, close up pics included). I might look at a Cruiser at some point in the future. V5C states "Was registered/used overseas. Declared manufactured 1999". "Date of first registration in the UK 01.08.2000". She has been sat for over a year now on a charger and still starts no problem but as has not been used for a while she is currently SORNed and not MOT'd. She has only moved a few yards up and down the drive in over a year. In my personal opinion the brakes, chain etc should be checked over before riding any distance so she should be transported checked over and then put back on the road. As you can see from the pictures she has had Repsol fairings fitted, LED tail light, clear indicators, adjustable clutch and break levers and a smoked headlight protector. I think with possibly a new chain and the carb overhauled and perhaps two tyres she would give someone a great deal of pleasure. I have the original fairings, and lights, which you can have if you wish and I am throwing in an Oxford soft cover. Remember she is 21 years old so not in showroom condition but she is in good condition. I have put a reasonably low reserve on so have a bid and please if you have any questions just ask. Payment by cash in hand or bank transfer.

I have now checked online at Gov.Uk and it would appear that 3 years before I bought the bike the speedometer may have been changed, possibly for an MPH instead of a KPH as this was an import, but certainly you can see that the mileage has changed. In 2014 at the time of the MOT the mileage has been recorded as 56,199 (not sure if this is miles or kilometres) and then on the MOT in 2015 it has been recorded as 21,963. When I purchased the bike I did not make any checks at all myself - possibly a little naively. Based upon this it may well be that the true mileage is circa 65k miles but obviously I cannot confirm this - it is purely speculation. This mileage is still obviously relatively nothing for the Honda Blackbird engine. Apologies to all for any confusion but I was unaware myself of this discrepancy. With regards the fairings and panels the ones on the bike are in excellent condition apart from the ones shown as scratched, the spare originals would require painting. Kind regards
