New to the Forum, Need some Info
hey guys, my name is joe
i came to these forums because i'm looking to buy a bike.
i have found a 1994 Honda CBR600 F2.
its got 22xxx on it
it needs some TLC and some new parts, but it starts right up.
i haven't ridden it yet, but i plan on going to take a spin on it this saturday.
i have a few questions though, so thats why i came to this forum....
what kinda issues or consistent problems do these bikes have? and what should i be sure to check for on this specific model?
what would be a good price offer for this bike? it needs a front brake caliper, disc, rear side fairing and probably a new chain.
It's spray painted flat black but it has nice wheels and newer rubber.
Like i said it needs some TLC, but i think it definately could be a nice bike.
Any help or buying tips are appreciated.
thanks guys

Welcome
Hiyu Joe... welcome to the CBRF mate..
22K is not to bad , so she should be ok if she was looked after maintenance wise ...
Go have a read on the CBR600 F2 boards....you will find allot of discussion already about that CBR and what to look out for I am sure ..
Basic stuff when looking at any used bike are ,
general condition..(can sometimes indicate how the rest was looked after?? )
engine noise..
service history.. (if its available?)
tires , chains , sprockets (check them all for wear and service life left in them)
Chuck a search into the 600 boards and you will fine way more info...
good luck and take care...
BTW : Need any help around here just PM me :-)
Some fast find links are below mate ....use them with my compliments ..

hey guys just wondering how interchangable parts are between these bikes?
like are the parts from 87 to 91 the same? or 91 to 94?
that kinda thing
i checked out the bike mentioned previously in the post and the guy wants way too much money for it. it has been abused severly, but i found another bike, 1989 CBR 600 F, 32xxx miles, alotta new parts, $1200 obo.
how good are these bikes from the late 90's?
from the pictures it looks really clean
thanks for the help

It can be $150ish if you do it yourself..
$250ish if you have a mate in the business
$400ish if you get a one color base done properly
It can cost a $1000+ if you want a fancy top job....
It just depends mate as to what you want and who you get to do it ...
Shop around
and get quotes ...
