Hey Smacky,

looks like an F2 to me, the f3's have a bit of a different rear body/seat. Very clean looking bike though!

You might wanna ask Juliet. Going by the plates, you're overseas. So it could be one of the Fireblades. Not sure but I think they're styled slightly different than the US models

Looks like it could be a 95 or 96 F3. Definitely a European model though with the rear hand rail. The US models didn't come with those. Nice color scheme.

If the frame's vin says 96, it'll be an F3. But being a UK model there will prolly be some differences from the US version.

Definitely Juliet can shed some light on it. She's like an encyclopedia of CBRs and she's UK

deadly,

I'm picking up a few service bits for it, Whats the best plugs to run in them? Gonna get some new chain and sprockets too, might need to check out the fuel pump as its a bit slugish the odd time,

I'll try get up some more pics too..

I looked at the 'Super review' thread stickied in the forum. Your bike looks almost exactly like the 95. Juliet even points out the steel grab handle on the early 95s.
