My New Ride!

[v8klla]

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

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

[v8klla]

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?

[v8klla]

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!

Sweet bike Chris!!!!

That's what you're learning to ride on? hmy: 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.

[v8klla]

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.

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.
