Bikes here are slightly more expensive than the UK but are generally in better shape thanks to the lack of road salt.
I had a 99 Bird in grey and loved it but if I bought one today it would have to have a top yolk and bar conversion due to my ageing frame and neck.
May be you could tell me if the Fi model with the full electronic dash is a better version than the Fi model with analog dials....I personally like the black frame / black engine version..cheers !
ps....I miss my Rex too...had 3 over the years...and here's my other ol' favourite.

The best version and I'm not just saying it as mine is one, is the early carb. Once you buy an injection you then enter the realm of loom fixes a problem that appears as they age, plus the power is down.
For anything Blackbird can I direct to
here a forum where I've been a member for abot 7 years. Doesn't have so many members now since the down fall of Bikers Oracle but the amount of information stored away in the bowels of the forum is un believable. (Like this one) The main moderator Is JAWS who has been a Blackbird guru since the first modle came out and though he has now retired and passed the 'JAWS website' (Blackbird specialist site) on, he still helps them out.
ps. Jaws designed and made the flat bar conversion for the BIRD.
I run mine with vfr vtec bars, straight swap, slightly raised and a lot neater.
