Pretty cool find

[Rick]

When I bought my FZR600 last week I was informed that it was featured in Sport Rider a few years ago. I posted a link to the e-article in my intro thread, but I wanted to find an original copy of the issue. Unfortunately, Primedia, the company that prints Sport Rider, only prints back-issues from 2004 and up, but luckily someone invented eBay and I managed to find a mint condition copy of the August 2004 issue complete with the FZR of yours truly... Granted it wasn't mine back then, but it's pretty cool seeing your bike in print.

Disclaimer: Apparently it's been confusing people when I tell the story, but yes, if you could see the VIN number on the bike it would match the one I own. It's not just the "same model" that was featured, but the bike I actually own.

EDIT ~ Damn, the pictures are cut off... here's a link to non-cut off pics LINK

Definitely... it's going to sit in a sealed plastic bag until that time comes. I'm gonna track down another copy just to have one for myself.
