Welcome!
Sorry to hear that you put it down. Unfortunately, it happens that way a lot with newer riders. Good thing it wasn't a brand new bike, but it still sucks I know. Good luck getting it back up and riding.

Welcome to the CBR Forum Bice.

Sorry to hear that you laid your bike down, but glad you found us. The 600 owners should be able to answer any questions you have and point you in the right directions for the parts you need to get you bike looking/running how you want it.

Remember - shiny side up

Cheers, SB

no no no. the plastics are just package wrapping from the dealer. they're not supposed to be on there anyways!

jk (i prefer naked bikes)



welcome to cbrf. we've all (well most of us anyways) wrecked at some point or another. some are much more serious offs than others, but as a motorcyclist - remember it's when, not if.


the main thing is that you do not get discouraged and you keep with it. you've gone down, you've learned from it, wear your gear and be safe.

glad you've joined up. this is a great internet community of riders

Welcome aboard!

Sorry to hear of your mishap. Thankfully, it sounds like its just cosmetic damage.

Have you taken the MSF course? Motorcycle Safety Foundation. Highly recommend the course. It teaches you basic riding technique & safety. In many states, it will get you a discount on your insurance.

Haha, thank all you guys! and why do they make the packaging so pretty? Someone should tell honda it would be so much cheaper to stop painting it haha. Its 90% Fairings yeah, the rear subframe Is bent to the right a little bit and the metal uhm ??? Holding the front cowl is bent. It still runs and rides great though (My buddy I got it from rode it after I laid her over) and yeah I learned the rear brake works a lot better than the front.
