Skippy Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 It’s been a while since I last posted and Pete was so worried he checked to see if I was still alive. He was disappointed to find I was. Anyway, managed to get the old Suzuki TL1000S back to the UK and sold with the help of a good mate.......so naturally I needed to replace it with something to thrash around on. I give you the venerable CBR600F3, steel frame and carbs with an offensively loud Arrow can. Just the job! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 It looks amazing, that's the best looking CBR600 generation ever as far as I'm concerned. Also the first bike I went fast in, on the back seat as a teenager 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that might be on a case to case basis, some guys are used to it and comfortable. I used to see a proper old dude on a ducati 916 on the Nurburgring all the time, one of the most extreme bikes ever. He did walk crooked off the bike too, though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 Ha ha sorry for the very delayed reply but the reason for buying it was my ‘inner-stupid’ surfaced again……..and it was dirt cheap. Handles well and goes like stink when it hits 7-8k rpm……..and the howl from the Arrow can is addictive 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s way to hot to be riding at all to be honest and I have all good intentions of not going out but then I give in and go anyway. When I get home I’m sweating like a pig and swear I’ll never do it again. That is, until the next time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
