I've recently finished refreshing a 1990 CBR600 FL, and while working on it I have discovered that it must have been someones pride and joy at some point.
It has a full stainless Scorpian exhaust including the headers, the fairings have cleaned up remarkably well for a 26 year old bike with nearly 60k on the clock.

Originally registered as G60 VPD but that plate was sold to a VW Golf G60 owner.

The engine and box are lovely, the wheels refurbished white (instead of the stock pink). they are showing there age now but were seemingly done well once upon a time.

The Frame and swing arm should be silver, but this one has the frame painted in the same pearl white as the fairing colour's. It looks to have been done as bare frame too.

Everything I have touched has come apart perfectly, despite what it looked like when I bought it. Most bolts have anti seize compound on them. To me always a sign of a looked after bike.

The previous owner to me had it a few years and used it very little. Never even changing the oil. I picked it up quite cheap, all I had to do was offer more than the countless breakers were offering. Lucky I did as its a gem of a bike.
I don't normally delve into a bikes history but this one may have an interesting history.

Cheers,
Stu

I tried adding pictures, even with the img tags done as normal (and on bikers Oracle) this forum just wont accept the images.
