Hi Folks, im new here and just got a 97 CBR600F3 in purple w/ Yellow /orange graphics. Its a mostly stock bike, needs a wee bit of TLC but overall quite clean and original.

Im retired, I collect/restore bikes (I have 15 at the moment), spend my time wrenching and riding when im not working the farm.

 

Welcome to the forum Straycat
With 15 bikes (crikey) i'm not sure about the retired bit esp when you also work on the farm!!!
Nice looking bike, unusual colour scheme.
Cheers
Al

 

Cheers Al,

The Purple and Yeller is a nice colour scheme, my Brother had one new in 97 and I always loved it. Not sure if you got that colour in the UK ?

Just put a new fuel pet valve in the CBR600f3, and need to do a wee bit of paint work and decal work too. Have a new OEM pipe on the way (has a Vance and Hines pipe just now). Also some one put the front wheel on backwards, so I have to swap that around too.

Other current bikes in the herd are:

2017 Africa Twin DCT, 2017 Suzuki M109R, 2014 VFR800, 2007 Aprilia RSV Factory, 2010 Valentino Rossi R1, 2003 Z1000, 2000 ZRX1100, 1989 Hawk GT, 1988 CB1, 1986 NS400R, 1993 GSXR750, 2006 Buell XB9R, 2008 Buell 1125R, 2020 Beta Evo 300 Trials

 

No, don't think we had that colour, they tend to be a bit more conservative in the UK / EUR with the paint schemes, I had a black / silver F3.
That is some herd you have there, you must have a monster garage / workshop.... the envy of us all

 

26x40 garage, 2 story, built into a hill soI can ride the bikes around back and the showroom is upstairs.









Downstairs in the main garage level I can store the 3 regular rider bikes and 3 cars:

 

The Garages :

one is 26'x40' ft 2 story, one is 36'x72'

 

What a fabulous set up, you are a very lucky fella indeed.
And some fantastic bikes as well

 

Welcome and thanks for the pics! Beautiful setup all the way around!

 

Thanks fella's, I do feel very fortunate indeed.

 

I don't suppose you're looking to adopt anyone are ya? LOL Very cool, nice set up.
