i like the 2000.
ask the seller of the 98 if he'd sell the front brakes separately?
there's a forum member wanting a.p brakes i know of.
 
i also see in the 98 pic a sticker on the bellypan, a hole cut in the mid panel for a slider. what looks like scratches on the top fairing infill panel, and scratching on the engines head.

better pics of the whole bike are needed!:fact
 
well i ended up scoring a 2008 cbr1000rr for $5k
I can't believe you went from one end of the scale to the other. Early R1s are a friggen handful full of life and character, and CBR's do what they are told when they are told. Hard to fault them but that's the thing IMO, makes them boring in comparison. I rode a 08 CBR. My mate just got it and it had 500kms so I had to take it easy... Nice but not enough 'fight' in em.

Anyway just my view, all liter bikes are awesome and too fast for me anyway :lol

Post up some pics!!!
 
Nice! Those Showa forks are a dream to work on. Don't know much about the shock other than it's sprung pretty stiff. The bike I setup had an Ohlins on it when I built the forks. Good all around machine from what I've read :thumbup

But really... a Honda???

:lol
yep, fantastic oil consumption!:crash
