Hi!

This is my first bike. It is a 2007 CBR600F. It has enough power for my current skills I don't have big plans for it. Just trying to keep it in top condition.

Season is just starting here in finland. Maybe next week I'll have it insured and on the road again.

Bike license here in finland is about 1000 euros which really sucks if you are on a budget. But I think it is worth it

Looks like there is tons of useful info on this forum.

Welcome to CBRF! That's a nice F4i. We have a ton of F4i members here, you'll fit right in. As well, we have more than a few guys from Finland. Finland has some great motorcycling! I did not realize that the license was so expensive there, but I definitely agree with you that it's worth it! Stay safe and enjoy that bike!

Thanks. Yes it really is expensive. I planned it for many years but when my co-worker bought a bike I had to go and buy one for myself.

No kappas kappas, tervetuloa foorumille! Missäspäin herra vaikuttaa, tuo logo pakun ovessa on jotenkin tutun oloinen.

Conrice: Yes it costs a fortune but if you get the A1 license when you`re 16 which permits you to ride a 125cc bike of max 11kw, you automatically get the "little A" when you turn 18 which allows you to ride any bike that`s restricted to max 25kw, and the "big A" full license when 20 for free. If you didn`t you cannot get the full license until you`re 21, and to get any license here means going to both theory classes and driving lessons, and in the end pass both tests too. That`s why it`s so expensive.

No kiitoksia! Se paku on vaan huollossa meillä, en työskentele siellä. Autosähkökorjauksia ja asennuksia teen itse ja Oulussa elelen. Alkaa täälläkin olla ilmat kohdallaan.

To save the trouble of translating from the admins here gotta swap to english

I`m actually from Haukipudas myself originally.

You won`t happen to know a chap with a copper Triumph Scrambler named Tomi Kononen, boardman of MMAF, he`s from around there.



This guy here, on display in MP-14.

wut....?


I guess that's a bit more involved than our "pass MSF and get endorsement" or "apply for permit and pass test", isn't it?
