So to replace the GSX600f that was stolen, i've now got this

It's a tidy as fuck 1996 CBR600f. Lovely mods, 7k on the clock, sounds amazing, pulls well (starts running out of fuel when it's at high revs for too long, carbs need cleaned out) and it's possibly the best bike i've owned!

An absolute bargain for £800.

Was thinking that myself but still looks nice for the money. As for the fuel problem dunc. If you have a spare key stick it in the filler cap and go out and play on the A1. When it runs out of fuel open the cap and if it starts to run again your tank vent need a wee clean. Mine started to do this a few days ago, fixed now with a quick blast of WD40 and a tin of compressed air.

That does look in great condition. I can almost hear it screaming "Nooooooo! What's this eating at my virgin flesh? Salt air!"

DON'T LET THE PIKEYS NICK IT!

A lot better than the last one! Well in terms of looks.


Please get a solid chain and lock.

Great price too, hopefully nothing is wrong with it.

I actually need a right pillion peg... if you have one...
Also need to figure out why the RHS switchgear turns with the throttle. guessing it's supposed to have a pin that goes into the bar but that one doesn't.

Let me know if you have either so i can sort that wee problem out Thumbs Up

And mihn, just fitted the alarm tonight. bloody loud. and it's got the immobiliser now with that.

also got a bloody big chain round it, and the shed door with 2 padlocks on it.

It's going nowhere.

It has probably broken off inside the switchgear. Try pulling the throttle grip off from the side. If you can do this then it's dangerous.

I fixed mine by cutting the head off of a nail and using the rest of it to make a pin to hold it in place.

I suggest getting the part of the switchgear that you need if it can be had cheap though.

You sure this is a uk bike? Something funny about the clocks as all the marks look like the clocks have been KPH and marked around 30,40,50,70 MPH areas. Not taking anything away from the bike as i like it but something is fishy

No idea. history says it's a UK bike.

HPI is clear too. So really don't know why someone would mark them. not like it matters much anyway.

Doubt i would bother to paint the tank. Think i would just get a red tank cover. Quite a few on eBay unless that bloke who is braking one has it in red.
