Looks as nice as any CBR ever does. Wink

Do you not find the CBR a little too small and cramped, with your hands hitting the tank on lock? Sitting on the CBR and the ZZR at the NEC, I found that the ZZR felt much more natural and comfortable.

Still, each to their own. Enjoy. Thumbs Up

Best colours too for an older CBR. I looked at a few of them for my first bike. Looks fresh Thumbs Up

thanks m8 so do i if im honest

the riding position is fine for me and im a big chap at 6,3,i was worried i was going to feel cramped etc like i was on a nc30 when i rode one briefly and to my surprise its more than big enough,feels very comfy indeed,i did 60 miles straight on her yesterday and not a twinge,i know its not hundreds of miles but you sure notice a bad seating position straight away normally.

seems to get good mileage to a tank also,havnt worked it out fully yet as im still on the original tank full,overall im happy with her as my first 600,the remus can sounds really nice too,not the complete roar my micron had on my zxr but a more subtle growl.

looks wise on the cbr the only thing that lets it down in my opinion is the forks,some nice upside downs and the bike would be complete,oh a fuel gauge would be nice also,lol.

overall a nice tidy bike at not a huge amount of money.cant wait for the sun to shine now,lol
