New to Sport bikes
Just want to say hey to all you guys. I've only had cruisers (03 Shadow 600 & 02 Instruder 1500) so far and it's been a couple of years since I've had a bike period, but I'm gettn a 98 CBR 600 f3. Iv'e ridden rockets a few times but not on a regular basis so this wil be different for me. I'm just glad to be gettn back on 2 wheels. Any tips or advice is greatly welcome. Thanks.

Well I dont know what you guys have over there, I hear MSF bandied around here in the forum a lot but I am over in the UK ... at least make sure you understand counter steering and more importantly practise it until its second nature :-)

I think there probably the same thing just different countries. It was a 3 day long class with lots of riding and classroom stuff. And I went through your post good stuff, realized it but never thought about it.

Hiyu Troy and welcome to the CBRForum mate
How long till you pick her up mate ?
My main Tip is...
Take it easy when you finally get her.. get your road legs under you before you go peddling hard anywhere ...
and.........
NO Crashing because we have a 100% ban on that , that is enforced on all members mate
