Default Hi

Hey folks, newbie from the UK.
I have a US 2006 CBR600 F4i which I brought back to the UK in 2017 having been in Fort Worth for a couple of years, It had 1600 miles on it when I purchased it from a chap in New Hampshire
It is the 3rd CBR that I have owned a 1998 FW and a 2005 F4 (which I had to sell when I went to the states.)


I am doing some small mods to make it slightly more comfortable as I think they are a fantastic bike (more of a bike than I will ever be a rider) but I have very short arms and with getting on a bit would like them raised a little prior to contemplating flat bars!
Cheers
Al

Hi there, actually in the UK now.
Welcome, how long have you had a CBR?
I have been on bikes now for the best part of 40 years (boy that makes me feel old!!!)

Every Credit, just take it easy and keep rubber side down.
These are a great bike but as with all things need to be treated with care as get them above 6k and they fly.
What are you having done to your bike?
I am in the process of getting some bits together to put a set of riser bars on mine
