After passing my full test a few months back I've been smoking about on the wifes SV650 naked. I wanted to get my own bike, I also wanted something more sporty and it needed to be cheap. After a bit of hunting a about I found one of these

This is a pic from google

Its a Suzuki RF600R

The one I've got is a 1994 model with 33k on the clock with 9 months T&T and a micron system, Its now a lovely share of pink:cool: but some compound cut and polish should sort that out. Its just had the swinging arm repainted and rebuilt with all new bearings and new folk seals, also had a major service and the carbs ballanced and a new rear tyre. The best part is it was about 3 miles from my house and was filthy cheap:Cool2:

Ah a spaceship! Razz

Actually I quite like them, good bikes.

Just noticed the r/w/b NSR125 in your avatar.

Got any more pics, looks similar to my old one.

From what I remember reading about them years ago was that they were very juicy for a 600, low 30s I think. Others, CBR600, FZR600R were in the 40s on the same routes.

Brilliant bikes, mine unfortunatly blew up mainly due to being told it was a 14k engine and looking more like a 40k with no cam/valve checks ever being done.

Got loads of grunt for a sports tourer, and will still hold with the gixxers of today

Got a race can? I've got a straight through renegade and it's fuck me loud.

I miss mine.

30k plus miles and still going strong, even after getting hit head on by a car.

Saw 150 on the clocks.
