I voted No, but I'm sure most could spot the difference. Had a friend who had one for a while till he got his 900. Had matching leathers/helmet & I referred to him as a "Power Ranger". We must have got a few, as I see them around a lot & there is always one or two for sale in the classifieds. With my 98, we got the Euro paint schemes & the one I would have forked out a few more $'s for was the Tri colour (Red, White & Blue), but that scheme walked out of the show room. You see it a lot on the 900's, but rare with the F3's

I voted no... but there was one on Ebay I' saw a while back I'd have grabbed. Had 3k-4k on the clock, all documented and I think a buy now price around $3.5k IIRC. Think they had been using it as a showcase piece in a bar

The SMJ bike is a sexy piece of Honda/racing lore but I had to vote no. I'm just happy I have a great looking 98 F3.

I too am a no. I am partial to the color scheme's of the SJR, but I woudn't put that much of a premium on them. I like the 98 version better than the 96. The color purple that they used looked almost like it was anodized rather than painted.

I'm guessing it was the CCT, one of the more common things to go out on our bikes at about 25k miles and typically noticed when you get some pinging metal noises from the engine at certain rpms.
