After a two week wait which i have to thank the seller for waiting as i paid a deposit for it hours after it was initially put up for sale, and he was getting at least 5 calls a day about it, i picked it up and i cant believe how new it looks and rides for an 11 year old bike.

Is done 6k with a few tasty mods, power is brutal and it turns in sooooo quickly compared to the old 600f i had before it.

Looks lovely apart from the obvious twisted subframe.


And you may want to get that slack chain sorted....

That does look tasty! I was going to try get one of these after i've grown tired of my new bike but the 08+ models won me over. Not keen on the sissy bar though?

Any plans for it?

Apples to oranges.

Gone from a CBR600RR to an R1, basically the same transition power output wise. You notice, its far easier to overtake, bimble, commute... revs are utterly ridiculous on the RR where as the R1 ticks over on the motorway Laughing

Not if the rider knows how to turn the throttle on a late-model 600F Smile.

yeah it's alot quicker, that said i havent properlly opened it up yet, just gradually getting used to it, loving how much louder it is, heads certainly turn when it pulls away from lights fairly swiftly.

Plans are to remove the grab rail buy a steering damper, and depending on funds i may purchase this and powdercoat the wheels gold. Probably change the indicators aswell

Do you need a steering damper? I've practically turned mine off on the R1.
