    Hi All,

    I have finally got my Bird 1600 and its been a long time coming. I wanted the 1600 in blue and white as soon as i saw it in 2009, however, living in France is was a no go and I ended up getting a VN 1700. Now back in the UK and although the newer bikes are great the Blue and White is still the only one that flicks my switch. So pick this one up, some nice extras and the BB kit. I am sure I will picking the brains of the Older sweats on this site.

    Regards

    Mark
