Default New to the Gang

Yep, found a 98 CBR600f3 at a Harley Dealership no less...only 8000 miles on it. I've read that the f3's are pretty much Honda bulletproof. So I pick it up tomorrow.

I was riding a 06 Ninja 500r. I really liked the little Ninja's flickability (is that a word?) but I wanted something a little more substantial with an adjustable suspension.

The fairings have some scratches, but it doesn't look at all like a lay down. Looks like it was a low/no speed drop in a parking lot and it looks like someone broke the rear fairing tabs so I'll need to get that fixed. May repaint all together but I kind of like the Desert Storm paint scheme.

Idles like a champ. Stock pipes and an engine that looks like you could eat off of it. This bike definitely sat in someone's garage for awhile.

Welcome to CBRF Kevin!! Thats a nice bike you got. I almost traded my F2 in on one just like it in those same colors a few years back.

Here is a link to the F3 Forum where you will find a ton of friendly and helpful people to help out with any questions or problems you may have with your new ride.

https://cbrforum.com/forumid_14/tt.htm

Take care and enjoy yourself in here and be safe "out there". Depending on where you live, it may be a long winter. See you around...
