Default Old CBR, new rider TMA :)

Hello everyone! I'm new to the motorbike world and I have found a lot of of useful info from the riders here. I recently bought ~

1992 cbr600 f2
8k miles $1600

This is my first bike and I am a new rider ( not the best bike to learn on, so I have heard). Basically, there is much to learn about riding and the bike itself and I'm willing to receive any info you all have to share. I have been to my bike's thread and I've enjoyed seeing its potential. Many of you have some really nice bikes with upgrades and beauty mods, and I'm hoping to get there in time. Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forum!...and riding.

Thats a good first bike for learning to ride and work on. The is plenty of info at your finger tips already, but ask questions if you have any. The members here are really cool, for the most part, and wont steer you wrong.

Thanks, love the bike already. Good way to clear my head (wifey is 8.5 months preggo). Bike does need a lil work though. I want to give it a tune up, and somehow fix my leaky forks seals. I have a repair manual but it is not very detailed, I've seen a better one but I will have to do more searching and find it.

Welcome aboard F2SS!

Yep, its a good thing to have in the garage to tinker w/ when you need some private time. ;-)

Sounds like you're really enjoying it. That's excellent! Always good to hear from a new owner who's excited. :-)

Take your time learning & always wear your gear for protection. Have you taken the MSF course?...Motorcycle Safety Foundation.

I'm scheduled for one, my job pays for the class to do during work hours(lucky).
I'm not sure I would ever be too comfortable to ride without all my safety gear.
Does anyone have a baby seat that fits my F2?
