Hi there.

After 10 years of riding 125s when I was younger, and needing a bike to get the 28 miles to work due to horrible public transport connections, I passed my test last week and picked up a CBR600F3 (1995).

Of course, this being England, it rained all the way on my first journey in on it and so the journey was no quicker than on my old 125. I look forward to drier days.

 

Hello mate and welcome to the forum, nice looking bike and a bit quicker than the 125
I'm sure that when you get a bit of experiance under your belt you could step up to a proper CBR. LOL (CBR1000f)
Where abouts are you in the UK?

 

Wow! What a great find! That bike looks to be near-mint! Congrats on the new ride and on passing your test. Enjoy the forums and don't be shy.

 

I live in Surrey, essentially on the southernmost reaches of London.
Fortunately I only have to ride for 5 minutes until I am out of London and on a 60mph road.

I had to take the road part of my test in an urban area (Croydon) and so never got above 40mph the whole test.
