Default Hi all picking up my new bike tomorrow

Hello everybody
I've just bought a 98 f3 cbr600f in Repsol colours. Its a 50th anniversary edition. #21 of 50. I've been searching for a little more information on these limited edition versions of the bike and that led me here. If anyone has one or knows anything about them I'd be very interested.

I've not seen the bike in the flesh yet but it looks very clean in the pictures. Hopefully it's as described and as good as it looks and I'll be happy.
I'm due to pick it up tomorrow so I'm hoping the weather holds.

I'll post up some pictures tomorrow.

Karl.

Welcome to CBRF, Karl. I didn't know they made Repsol F3's from the factory. I was only aware of the Smokin' Joes editions. Oh well. You'll love the F3's. They're solid performers and near indestructible! I hope you indeed pick it up.

It's a 50th anniversary edition #21 of 50 produced. So it has a few extras over the standard bike.
Uprated camshafts
Engine tuned by Russell Savaroy of RS Tuning
Ohlins steering damper
Full Akrapovic stainless exhaust system
Proflex suspension
A selection of carbon fibre parts
Originally it would've had paintwork by dream machine but a previous owner has changed it.

It's a fine adrenaline pump / manufacturer of grins.

Thanks mate. She's got a few very small marks / stone chips but overall she's in great condition.
