Honda CBR600F

Recommended Posts

It’s been a while since I last posted and Pete was so worried he checked to see if I was still alive. He was disappointed to find I was. 😝

Anyway, managed to get the old Suzuki TL1000S back to the UK and sold with the help of a good mate.......so naturally I needed to replace it with something to thrash around on.

I give you the venerable CBR600F3, steel frame and carbs with an offensively loud Arrow can. Just the job! 😝😝👍

It looks amazing, that's the best looking CBR600 generation ever as far as I'm concerned. Also the first bike I went fast in, on the back seat as a teenager :classic_laugh:

I didn't understand the reason behind that one either!

The riding position doesn't do us oldies any favours.

I think that might be on a case to case basis, some guys are used to it and comfortable. 

I used to see a proper old dude on a ducati 916 on the Nurburgring all the time, one of the most extreme bikes ever. He did walk crooked off the bike too, though :classic_laugh:

Ha ha sorry for the very delayed reply but the reason for buying it was my ‘inner-stupid’ surfaced again……..and it was dirt cheap.

Handles well and goes like stink when it hits 7-8k rpm……..and the howl from the Arrow can is addictive 🤣🤣

Of course, I’ve seen him get very excited when I start it up at 0630 😜

By the wife, Michelle's Himalayan has fucked up again!

Hot now though!

It’s way to hot to be riding at all to be honest and I have all good intentions of not going out but then I give in and go anyway. When I get home I’m sweating like a pig and swear I’ll never do it again. That is, until the next time. 😝
