Default Took me 17 years...

Always have something come up, but I finally purchased my first bike.

Red/white 1996 Honda CBR 600 F3

Fairings are pretty rough, it has been down at some point on the right side before 2007 (based on the receipts I have), but there is no cracks or obvious signs of damage to the engine at all, doesn't even look like it broke the mirror (both match still and look original)
Has newish tires, newish battery, and 65,000 km

lots of lurking on here helped me a lot in making the decision to purchase this bike.

So now that I own it...thought I should sign up and introduce myself. I'll post pictures when I can.

welcome to CBRF! an F3 was my first bike as well. it had been down when i got it and i downed it twice - once pretty hard (over 40mph) and nothing ever broke on it. they are really tough bikes!

glad you finally made the plunge. don't look back!

Thanks for the welcome guys. Definitely going to be digging thru a lot of stuff on here. Advantage of having an older bike...is I'm likely not the first one to have an issue lol
