  • My (new to me) CBR 600

    She's a beauty that I picked up for $3,000 which was a killer price for the beauty of this bike, the pictures don't do her justice! I'll be doing a write up here in the next few weeks after I ride her for a bit.

    Happy riding!

        Nice... Take it easy on that, it's no KAT...

          Love that color scheme. Great bike! I would have to do bar risers though. Too many broken bones in my past to ride low any more.

            F4i is still forgiving as a sportbike, but lighter than Katana in handling.. brakes are much better than Katana.

                    It certainly isn't a Kat but she sure is an absolute blast to ride! A little on the uncomfortable side during long stretches but it certainly doesn't take much to get the front wheel off of the ground!

                      Nice! I'm the same way, but my little collection is nowhere near that nice and shiny.

                        Most if not all of my bike collections are under $2-3k, ridden hard and put away wet, only gets washed while ridden on rainy days... except for the street-legal, dual sport, kickstart-only KLX300, it gets cleaned after a muddy ride:



                        My daily commuter (between Hoboken NJ, Manhattan & Brooklyn) is a $850 Ninja 250 that gets operated at the rev-limiter going between car mirrors:

                          Very nice K! I just recently added a KLR along with my other two bikes and my garage is beginning to overflow that's for sure. I paid $1800 for the Kat, $1700 for the KLR and well $3k for the CBR. I love them all but not necessarily equally. ;D

                            I've been riding the CBR around a lot lately seeing as how my Kat is out of commission for now and I miss the seat of the Kat...so much.

                            I do enjoy the light feel of the bike though and it certainly has it's pros.

                              I bought a CBR600 F2 back in 1994 Brand New and loved it. Very fast and easy to modify. Bought my second CBR600 in 1998 and loved it just as much. Great pic!
