CBR600F...

[Snorty]

Just got it today! What a machine.

It's an old (1991) model, F2, but it's bloody lovely to ride. Blows the GPZ500 out of the water in handling & power

Just been for a quick blast on it, just seems to corner effortlessly, like I don't really have to do anything it seems.

Are there any mods you can do to these bikes? New can perhaps? The stock one seems strangled. Big black thing it is. Any sort of swappable parts with the newer F models?

Well happy with it, anyway.

Are they quite reliable engines? The bike is in good nick for the age I'd say!

They probably get raced in the steel frame series. Look into what people do to make them faster and pick something

[WULFSTAN]

do you really need to make it go faster 150 is fast in anyones books

[Snorty]

Oh it's plenty fast enough!

I just wondered if there are any sort of "standard" mods people do to them to make them more reliable etc. Or make them look cooler. Ha. Need some decals for it now!

I.e. can I get away with pinning it in 1st or should I switch up quite fast?

My mate just fitted a Beowulf can on his and it looks and sounds a 100 times better.
He's got a scorpion can up for sale as he bought it but it was for the oldere model I believe.

It seems quite fond of bringing the front end up when you have a pillion

Would leaning over the bike help this to go away? I didn't expect it at all the front wheel just came up.

Whos your pillion? pavarotti... ive had a few pillions on mine and even full throttle there wasnt any wheelies

[Snorty]

About 10 stone of pillion.

Dunno it just came up and I killed the throttle, unexpected!

Looks nice from your pic, I picked up a quill can off ebay and sounds a lot better. My bike can breath now

[Snorty]

That's my GPZ actually in the pic!

Need to get a pic of me on the CBR now! Proper enjoying the power.

Bought my 1997 600f as a winter hack.

Great bike, goes, stops and handles superb and as gixxerchick says, sounds great (micron can).

Ever increasing age and waistline means it gets a bit uncomfortable after an hour or so but great fun
