Soon to be owner new member!
Hello all.. Very excited. I am 25 and out of Charlotte NC and this will be my second “sport bike”.. but really my first prized possession bike!! I recently parted ways with my old katana project bike which is helping paying for a 2004 CBR 600 F4i. A guy I work with is the second owner who is still close with the original owner. It has 30k miles which he put 2/3 on.. This was was naturally was my first concern. I first learned of the bike in late july/august of last year and have literally been researching on ever since. I am a car guy and after rebuilding the katana from head to toe, owning several dirt bikes and toys.. I feel pretty comfortable in my final, educated, decision to buy it for $2,600.. Hopefully $2,400 if he budges. It does need a CCT which I’ve learned is the trend with these bikes. It was serviced before parked last fall before parked with newer tires, scorpion exhaust, wind screen, sliders, bar ends and a beautiful bananna seat 
..
Ah well, im 6'6 so it will give me some room to stretch.
I already appreciate insight to come. Any advice and immediate service tips would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

Drained old gas, put new gas in with a little seafoam. Changing oil and filter tomorrow then hitting the street for a ride!
