Hey Guys
Thought I'd share my story here...
Just got a CBR600F2 the smile from my face has yet to go out since the first time I accelerated... Learnt on a Honda CD70 a 70cc bike and that too quite a while ago. Had been driving a 2005 Honda Civic and a Daihatsu Charade Gtti since then but traffic has become a nightmare here in Karachi and driving around in a car is not the same anymore.
So one day I basically borrowed a friends bike and saw how different the world is with no hassle of being stuck in traffic and no parking issues. Hence I was decided that I need to get my self another two wheeler went out looking for bike and had a tight budget in mind but did want to get a good bike. Dealers showed me quite a few models from yester years and then looking through I ended with the F2 which was just there with one dealer who said the crank was broken and there was an F3 engine for sale so I said yes as there aren't many options for good bikes here in Pakistan.
The bike looked good otherwise nice paint job new tyres.
The gauges on the bike are from a Kawasaki as the guy who owned it previously had crashed it and the original meters were done.
Since then I've put on a Dual HID kit Low - High Beam
I've put a Yoshimura exhaust
New Oil, plugs, cables
and now just looking for either F2 - F3 gauges as the reading on these ones is crazy.
Loving the CBR experience and just learning day by day new things...
I must say this is a whole new kind off love... Named it the J Falcon
