Hi,I'm Andy from Scotland and I ride a CBR 600fs1

 

Nice ride Andy and 900 Blade in the background. Yours as well?
Whereabouts in Bonnie Scotland are you?

 

Nice! Welcome to the forum, sir!

 

I have a 96 f3. Shes seen better days but shes my daily drive. You said you have a fs1? Is the the european version of the f4i?

 

Yes, I think so

 

The FS was sold in the UK in 2001 and 2002 with the FS1 being a 2001 example. It was the same model as the US F4i. The FS was discontinued in the UK in 2003 where it was replaced with the RR
They were also sold along side the F model with a year designator in the same manner from 2001 to 2006, the F1-6's have the banana seat and centre stand as the main differences, can't remember exactly when the banana seat version was introduced int the US.

 

Banana = 2004-2006
