Hi All,

My name is Sjoerd and I am from the Netherlands. For about 8 month now I own a 95 honda cbr F3. It is my first bike and I must say, it is a lot of fun to ride.

I had some trouble with it, I am hoping to find some help on this forum.

Welcome to CBRF Sjoerd!

Glad you have been enjoying your F3. Its a great bike & more forgiving than some others...especially for a first bike.

We have a very active F3 section here. Hopefully, you can get any issues sorted quickly.

Hi,

I really like the F3. Even to modern standards the bike looks reasonable good. The bike feels solid, even after 40.000 km (27.000 miles).

The first time I opened up the throttle it scared me a bit. The little ****er of an engine starts to scream ever so lovely...hehe

You can do so much w/ an F3. They really lend themselves well to modifications, conversions, upgrades, etc. I think you're really going to enjoy it.

Welcome to the forum.
F3s are great bikes. What problems are you having with it? There are lots of members here that know a ton about them. Post up your questions and they will be answered.
Get up some pictures of it when you can. Let's see some of the Netherlands too!

Hi all,

I will try to make some pictures of the Netherlands, although I have a tendency not to take pictures....

@ 74demon. The CBR is a bit thirsty....I can manage about 35 mpg I if really try. And it has a huge flat spot around 5k rpm. So I am curious if I get any good advice...
