Default Hello
Just picked up my 1998 CBR 600 F3. Definitely needs some TLC but it's getting there. 9,640 miles picked it up for $1450.

That's it for now!

Hey there Jman, congrats on your new bike, and for that price; sweet deal. Maybe I'm crazy, but I think that bike looks real nice as a street fighter/naked, imo.

Welcome to CBRF
Thanks for the compliments! I love this look as well, and I have already taken off that nasty front fender with the bronze flames lol. That alone made it look 10x better.

TLC? Looks like it's pretty much ready to go! I'd hack off the windshield brackets, and replace the headlight with a pair of UFO goggles:

You bought yourself a pimp streetfighter, my friend.
