Smokin joes are cool bikes! Great find, make sure its authentic and you get what you pay for. Should have a designation sticker that says cbr600sj on it. Maybe one of the f3 guys will chime in with the exact location of it. Good luck and congrats on the bike!

It might not be a true smoking joe the guy said it was but I haven't seen this paint job before. I only gave 1200 for it and it has 13000 miles I will post pics when I find out how. It has Ben sitting for 2 years so I cleaned out the gas tank and replaced the fuel filter and I got it started but I think the float bowls r stuck cuz gas is pouring out of the carbs
