My wife only complains when i walk into the house smelling like gasoline, then i just head out for another ride to air-out the smell, the Blackbird does the job quicker than others.

Latest addition to the garage.. replaced the old 1976 Honda engine with a 140cc Chinese unit. Still trying to find an optimal placement for the oil cooler.

Adding another two-up ride, 2007 Burgman 650, 8k miles on odometer, sat outdoors for a couple of years, cosmetically kinda rough.
Needed new battery/tires/fluids/brake pads.. of course gone darkside when replace the rear tire: |

No nearly as nimble as Ninja 250, but the twist-n-go is nice for tight traffic pattern... just not the weight.
The weight (600 lb.) of the scoot is cumbersome when maneuvering by human strength; but under its own power it can outperform most 2-wheel vehicle with higher placement of engine transmission in cornering. Enough underseat storage for two full face helmet, no need for extra external luggage. It's designated as a 2-up ride for the extra stuff that my passenger need to have along with the ride. |

Thanks.. I like variety, no particular rotation of vehicle, just what I find suitable for particular purpose.
Picked me up another 06 CBR600F4i this past weekend, 4k miles on odometer, minor body damage, unmolested with only a slip-on exhaust. $2k cash, since I was the first person to show up with payment in hand and seller was desperate for $$. I'll probably just turn it for profit in a few weeks. |

Sold my 99 Katana 750 this weekend. Bought it for $1600 back in 2013 at 9k miles, sold for $2200 w/16k miles.
No garage queen but rock solid bike.. heavy, too. I will miss it once in a while.. like many of my bikes, it needed very little care: fuel, lube and go. Performance of the 750cc air-oil cooled engine is just fine for the streets in capable hands. If I find another one in decent shape and low price, probably will buy again. |

Great bike that cost you $-800. Seems like it worked out.

While replacing the battery on the R1100S, discovered that there may had been some creature hibernating in the area under the fuel tank:
and chewing on the negative terminal wire: Someone had been doing shady mechanical work.. missing buncha bolts as I took her apart: |

I'm no master mechanic, but when I take apart something, I keep track of which bolt came from where.. at least put everything that came off the bike back on. Missing bolts just indicate that someone didn't pay attention.

I sold my 04 Ninja 250 to a friend for his son to start riding motorcycle, the Honda 599 will be a replacement commuter for NYC metro.
Hard to beat a pre-gen Ninja for filtering thru gridlock traffic at walking pace, I will see how well this inline-4 holds up after a months. |

Scooters I have are not 100% Hondas, with exception of the 82 Honda C70, the other two: one is a Chinese clone of Honda Reflex/Helix, the other is only a 77 Honda C90 body with a Chinese 125cc pitbike engine.
