Default Got my first bike!

Found it on the HT classifieds (thanks Loudlude). It's in excellent shape considering age (1999) and mileage (19k). Got my equipment already, but she wont be ridden till i get her insured and practice like hell in an open lot.

There is no info on the for sale thread anymore. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1398933

Was the bike ever down? Specifically on the left?

I guess it's just a reflection, on the frame, and tail section. Do the pegs match on both sides, they look different? Could just be the angle of the pics. Nice ride though

Congrats Brian . Ride safe down there, just cruise around the drillfield a few times before hitting up Mt. Tabor or 311 . Maybe I'll make a trip down there next spring, a few of us have been talking about a ride down to Tech.

Another reason I asked about the left side, the decal is only on the right side of the tank, and not the left, strange.
