Hi all, just bought a mint never dropped 1992 cbr600f2 from a Paterson motorcycle cop today. It has less then 6000 miles and a brand new battery. I've been riding dirt bikes for a while but this is my first real bike that I'll ride on the streets. I'm picking it up Sunday after I transfer the title/get it registered/insured. I already have a full face helmut/leather jacket/pants and leather boots/gloves. Looking forward to hearing from all you

 

Welcome to the CBRForum!

Congrats on getting your F2! Sounds like a really nice one. Be sure to get yourself a copy of the factory Honda service manual & familiarize yourself w/ it.

Kudos for getting all your protective gear.

Have you taken the MSF Course? Motorcycle Safety Foundation If not, check into it. Many of us here recommend it.

 

Welcome to the site! I have an F2 as well! How the heck did you find one with only 6k miles??? I'm jealous! congrats.

100% agree with gotcbr, MSF course does wonders, I still use just about everything they taught me every single day.

 

welcome to the forum and street riding!

did you take a MSF course? it is highly recommended. street riding is different from dirt riding. many more hazards that could kill you, so ride smart and safe. try to stay one step ahead, all the time.

when you get the bike, service it. change all the fluids, lube the cables and chain, and check the tires closely for age and wear. a good cleaning is a good way to get to know and inspect every inch of your new bike. don't trust anything done by the PO until you verify it with your own eyes and hands.

then...the fun begins!

 

Thanks for the kind words guys. I might take the MSF course in the future but for now I plan to get my permit, then license. My dad daily rode bikes for 20+ years, a number of which he spent commuting from NJ to Flushing Queens. He's been giving me allot of pointers. All the gear I'll be wearing is his old stuff

 

Besides being an extremely beneficial course teaching rider-safety & basic riding techniques... Regarding permit & license: Were you aware that the MSF counts for both the DMV written & riding test in many states? Also, a course completion certificate gets you a discount on your insurance. Just some FYI for you. ;-)

 

Dont wear his old helmet though.. get yourself a brand new one.. plenty of good deals on excellent gear around. Enjoy and ride safe!

 

NOw that's a gem....F2 low miles and never drop....yum! Really nice find.....post pic soon

 

Thanks everyone, I'll post pics when I get it home, and yea I'll buy a new helmut. What are some good sources to get a reasonably priced good full face one?
