Sup all i am James i am from Sacramento, ca and I just bought a 2000 CBR 600f4 from a co-worker... she got hit pretty hard on the freeway so this is a project bike and soon to be daily rider.. my co-worker got off pretty lucky. she only got a slightly compressed verdeibra in her back and a little road rash on her wrist. she was stopped cause of traffic and the suburban hit her going 50mph. the bike needs a new tank, rear wheel and tire, rear light and a new rear sub frame other than that its ok...

 

Hey, welcome to the forum!

Sounds like your friend was more than lucky - 50 mph suburban hit is crazy.

 

Welcome James , sound like she was very lucky as it appears from your description
the wheel and frame took most of the hit.
You repairing it or having a shop do it ?

Complete frame integrity and alignment should be checked imo

 

Welcome aboard James.
Glad to hear your co-worker is relatively OK and still with us.
Getting hit from a Suburban at ANY speed would be deadly.
Keep us posted on your rebuild and good luck!

 

Welcome, man.
Glad to hear your friend is ok, and good luck with the rebuild.

 

yea she has sworn off bikes for a while... she is taking this as a sign.. her grand father died on his bike so shes gonna take it easy for a bit..
on a good note i found a wheel and tire, and a sub frame on ebay and so far i am the winning bidder. i welded up the tank today it split right at the pinch welds. i might jusy use the new subframe to build a jig to build some cromolly subframes. i guess the only people that would want them are big guys like me or stunters.....

 

Welcome to CBRF!!! Glad to hear your Friend is OK! Gear up and Ride Safe...
