Default Newbie from Portugal

Hey guys!

I’ve been a CBR lover for all my life but haven’t had conditions to afford a bike.

after some time, I have rescued a beautiful F1 with 30k km needing some attention. Was in the same place for 20 years

For now:
- new oil
- spark plugs
​​​- water pump
- chain
- rebuilt brake pumps and calipers
- new radiator
​​​​​​- new battery
- cleaned and rebuilt carbs
- some other small stuff

Havent ride on it yet, but it runs

Wanting to tell my story here

let’a start to write it

Welcome to the forum! For your first CBR, you snatched a beauty for sure. Congratulations on the excellent find. Thanks for sharing the pictures of her.

many thanks!

The frame is kinda rusty, unfortunately, but I’ll take care of that later. For now I just want to ride it some hours.

do you perhaps know if and where can I get a seat cover to make only a 1 seater?

Unfortunately, I don't. There are several Euro members on here. Hopefully, one of them can chime in and lend a hand.
