Hey there, Well im a noob to the site. My names Blake. ANd Im a Hondaholic. lol
I have a 05 vfr 800, 02 r1 race bike, custom 93 gsxr750, custom honda thumper, and last friday night my father gave me his neir mint condition 1991 cbr600 f2.
Alittle history on the bike, My dad use to race back in the day, (as did I and still do when I can) But he heard about the f2 and feel inlove. He bought it before any were even in the country lol.
The dealership didnt know how much to charge becouse prices were not set yet, so they gave it to him for the same price as the Hurricane. He told the dealership that he would be racing it. and got one of the first 25 in the U.S.
He has only put 15,000 miles on it, babied it, never dropped, not one scratch. only upgrades are a brand new 96 f3 shock, some fork work, with new seals, and front stainless lines.
I have put on some cheap bodywork and stored the original peices correctly. Im going to have the cheap stuff repainted the original colors when I can, but I just want to make it perfect when I give it to my son in 20 years or so.
Also, my roomate, and my best freind both have decent f3's. And I will only be riding the cbr when we all go out to a meet.
Im going to get pics of the cbr soon.
The 07 gsxr, 06 cbr600rr, and my perfect 86 vf500 interceptor I had just finished restoring that day + house truck, and everything But my 93 gsxr and thumper burned down to the ground in feb.
