Have recently bought a 1994 CBR600F-P (import from America) but would like to hear peeps opinions on the thing. Things to look out for, good/bad points, links to forums etc.

Cheers

Cheers. I wonder how different, mechanically, our bikes are. Luckily the regulator/rectifier has recently been replaced by the previous owner. It's got a nice Micron can as well. What's the top speed? Have you any complaints about yours?

I'm busting to get on it. Bought it on the 20th Jan from a local dealer who still has it as I failed my practical last Mon . Have retest on 13th.

Yours looks nice mate, is it totally standard?

yea i bought mine standard, and have only done some cosmetic things so far, screen trim, indicators, tail tidy etc, but am planning on new chain and sproket, new front disks and a cheap endcan.

top speed on mine is about 165 im led to believe, but i havent been past 130 yet.

im very happy with the bike, and 2 up isnt a problem for it.

eats petrol compared to a 125 though,

but the pure face altering G-Forces during acceleration are worth it lol

Yeah Airpig I have a few friends and know loads of riders and even there new bikes have been dropped at some point.

In america you can hop on a haybusa at 16 and ride it with legaly so you gotta take in to consideration the bikes age so maybe at some point its been droped or binned

94 is pre ram air though, so out of the factory they are only knowing about 90 brake, im sure its less then that now. But you should see an indicated 145-155 ish.

Mine (96 'FT) eventually winds up to 160 (indicated), and ive had it to 150 ish 2 up. Certainly doesnt slouch two up.

And the two problems savage said have happened to me. My reg/rec needed replacing, and my cam chain tensioner is rattling for england.

But they still are VERY sweet bikes.
