Just picked her up tonight, my first bike. Took her for a spin in some parking lots and I have to say this is one of the best purchases I have ever made...Now hopefully I don't kill myself ;)

Chris

SPECS!
size, age, speed, weight, miles, price...
looks nice :goodluck: with the not killing yourself thing.

Oh yeah, guess I forgot the details...

1997 Honda CBR 600 F3
Weight ~ 408 lbs
12,xxx miles

Bought her for $3800 with the helmet. It was dumped once at a stop and the ferring has some touch up paint, but nothing big. As far as aftermarket it has a bolt on muffler, some japanese name ;)

Chris

Oh and as far as speed here is a quote I found:

"That linear powerband helped the 1997 F3 post the second-quickest drags trip time of 11.00 at 124.61 mph."

599cc, 1997, 6spd, 407.9 pounds, 12 thousand miles, $3000, top speed 155.3mph, 1/4 mile 11.00 @ 124

I rode it home for him :)

that's awsome - congratulations. i am thinking about getting one myself. i am affraid my insurance would be too hight though... ;-(

sweet ride, where did you get her from?

From a friend of a friend...Pretty good deal I think. Hey, didn't you reply to me once about the U of M car club? If so check out the website in my signature, we have a website now!

Chris

thats badass

Nice,

I think we'll all have to get together and go Riding some time.

there are quite a few people in the club that ride or have riden.

Once the cars done I'm looking at possibly getting a bike so I can go riding with Jenny.

HI!
glad to hear from you!
i just checked your website - very nice!
how long has it been up for? are you planning on having any weekly/monthly meets too? what was up with wednesday????


BTW - sweet ride, very good deal on it too. i want one just like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how long have you had your bike licence for?

... that was a wrong quote - too much technology i get confused. ;-~

Sweet bike Chris!!!! :D

That's what you're learning to ride on? :ohmy: You better get a full set of leathers and always wear that helmet. I've heard of too many kids getting shovelled off the pavement from driving one of those with very little experience.

yeah it is a very fast machine, scares the shit out of me! I've told a lot of people this and no one seems to believe me, but I'm not the kind of person to pop wheelied and endos, no messing around for me. I have also heard too many horror stories about bikes.

I am getting the hang of it pretty quickly, drove around for most of the day today. It is definately a rush, but you have to realize the possibilty of dangerous situations.

Chris

Nice bike.

Kinda makes me want to start riding again.

I'd love to learn. It's been soooo many years since I have been on a bike. I'm talking one of those llittle 50cc ones to. lol

im saving up and paying off my car so next year i can get a bike. Im looking to spend around 3k on the bike itsself. Are there alot of bikes around that price range? everywhere i looked ive seen them for 5k+

Depends what youre looking for. If you want a really good deal, buy one in the fall months.

im looking to get a sv650s, or possably a cbr600 since there are alot of them.

I know a kid who just bought an 04 CBR 600 RR and dumped it the first day he got it doing a burn out. And that thing was $$$$ , 10,400 id say you got a great deal. ;)
