Default Hi new member from the Netherlands

Hi folks

Im a UK expat living in a small town just outside Amsterdam

Been wanting one of these for ages, but due to other bikes and this and that I keep passing them by.

However while scanning the net I came across a CBR600 fi 2002 in mint condition, and I mean mint. Not a mark on it anywhere. 9500k around 6000 miles on the clock and just had all the filters oils coolent and brake fluids done. Plus two new tires Bridgstone BT016 Pro. The plugs were changed as wel, all new Iridiums. He gave me what was left of the oil and the old plugs which looked like the engine was running very well. Beowulf can, polished wheels, a cover plus a Abus disc lock. Needless to say Im very pleased with it.

Jak.

Hey Jak, welcome to the forum.

I used to live in Amsterdam in the 80's, I like the Dutch, which is a good job, because my sister in-law married a Dutchman

I'm sure you'll be enjoying your bike this summer, any trips planned?

Thanks for the welcome. Yes the Dutch are OK, good sense of humour.

Still getting used to the bike really, very different from my other bikes. I have a two old Suzuki GR650s and a Harley Sportster so you can imagine.

Will be doing a few local rideouts here and I hope to take it over the the UK in the summer on the Welsh roads. That should test the handling good on the twistys there.
