Hi.

Last year I got my first ever bike and it is CBR F2 1992.
It is in decent condition and I had almost no problems throughout all riding season. I my first season in total I have driven about 15tkm with a few lucky moments.
All that was done to the bike except maintenance was adding frame sliders because was I sure that I will drop it in my first ever season but luckily it did not happened.

At this point I have striped down the brake system and began cleaning the calipers as it turned out only one was working by the end of the season I had a suspicion about it.

Soon I will upload some pics of my bike and garage work. I really want to know what you guys think of it and also some tips on mechanics... but that is for Tech thread

Cheers!

Nice bike! Glad you didn't put her down last season. Try not to in the future either.

Thanks! Im form Latvia. Last summer I visited Helsinki, a lot of supermotos were riding around
I have some modding plans in mind that I would like to do before next season, repaint the plastics, change exhaust, repaint some smaller stuff like tree clamp, also I want to change to led blinkers and thinking to install some sort of strobe light in front. Just to attract more attention from drivers when riding between lanes, mainly for safety.
