Default I finally own a bike.

Ever since I was a teenager in high school I've wanted a motorcycle. It used to be a Ninja, then my taste changed to the GSX-R and finally the CBR. Now that I had the money to buy one I got this little beauty.


2006 CBR600 F4i with just shy of 6k miles on it.

Needs the CCTL changed out since its making the rattling noise. I've thought about cutting the exhaust down about 4". Read the tutorial on how to do it and I know I can, just need to go get a rivet gun.


Anyway, I first learned to ride on a friends bike which was a 1000cc and I did pretty good. Another friend has a little 250cc cruiser that I rode around a lot for fun and that's how I got even more comfortable on a bike.
I've already taken the MSF Basic Riders Course and been riding my bike a lot to get a better feel for it and so far I love it.

Welcome to CBRF! Thanks for your service to our country! The military has some great rider programs if you're ever looking for more. Nice F4i. Chopping that can will make it look a lot better.
