Hello everyone, a quick hello having recently become a 1997 M900 owner.
The bike has very low mileage in fact I think another forum member was recently contemplating purchasing the same machine prior to me buying it!
After passing my test a couple of years ago my first bike was a 1997 600SS which I still have and still love, subsequently my 50th birthday pressie was a 1983 BMW R100 (I've always had a thing for them as well) which I travelled to the South of France on - what an experience!
The M900 is an awesome bike to ride and I like the fact that having become familiar with the 600SS workings it's isn't too different to work on / maintain.
The tank had been painted at some point for some reason but not re-laquered, anyhow, I had a plan to put a sripe down the centre of the bike along with new transfers (which I've now done), not exactly original but not too far away from standard.
Oh, and I put a couple of pipes on it :)
All the best everyone, nice to be here!
