Hey great forum you've got here, I just purchased a 2004 Honda CBR600rr about a week ago. It's mint condition with only 2400 miles.

So far I have driven it once... just learning to ride and i'm in the middle of taking a driving course. I'll have it finished tomorrow with my endorsements to get my license.

Here's what i've got, let me know what you think.

This is the gear i've acquired so far, I think i'm almost set.

Welcome!![sm=welcomesign.gif] Congrats on the new bike!! Glad to hear you're taking the MSF course... Take it easy out there and ride safe... shiny side up!

Here's your pics... links aren't working (you used URL tags instead of IMG)

 

Nice bike. Take your time with her. She can be your best friend or worst enemy if you don't know how to handle her. Everything must be a smooth action. Take your time and learn somewhere safe.


Welcome to the site. Love the bike. Buddy of mine has one in the exact same color.

 

Hello & Welcome!!

 

Thanks guys, I just got done with the course and took her out for a spin. She did great, I couldn't ask for better.

It just needs to warm up around here... my hands were ridiculously cold, even with gloves on.

I do have one question, the rear view mirrors for some reason i can't get them to look backwards at the cars behind me. They just point to my arm. Is there something i'm missing here? or do i just have to move my arm every time i want to see behind me....

 

Welcome to the forum.
Congrats on the new bike. Looks sweet. Nice gear to.
Be safe!!!

 

Bingo. Pretty much you can just adjust them as best you can and compensate when needed. It helps to stay to one side of the lane or the other, that way you can clearly see behind you on at least one side.

You hands were really cold because those are more "summer" riding gloves, pretty light for this time of year.

Edit: almost forgot, welcome to the board and ride carefully!

 

Yeah, I went out tonight and rode, wow that was ridiculously cold haha. It's 25 degrees out. So I swong by wal-mart and got some cheapo leather gloves. That helped a ton.

Do you guys know of any sort of material I can put on my visor to keep it from fogging up? I tried this "anti-fog" whipe that I found while I was there, but it really didn't help. If anything it made it worse.

 

Ah, i had that problem to..i just spent the $20.00 for a new "ant-fog" shield..and so far its worked great. just ebay one or something.

 

Personally I just leave my visor open a tiny crack and wear a ninja style head wrap/neck warmer that only shows my eyes.
