picked up the CBR600
« on: March 20, 2010, 02:27:34 PM »
rode the CBR600 F4i back home for my son today. A great feeling bike.
I was really impressed. Has me thinking about the CBR1000. I feel so dirty.

oh gawd Bill, I feel so cheap and dirty thinking about the cbr1000 with the Italian mistress in the background.
I took off on her for a couple of hours after getting the cbr in the shop and all is better.  ;D
Jordan's looking into a set of Repsol farings for his now. The lowers were trashed up in a low side
by the PO.

 Good luck with the bike. I have done a lot of headwork and engine work on that particular bike (for road racing). It is a very well balanced bike in regard to power, handling etc. Typical Honda

How is a Repsol fairing different from the one it has now?  Why do you want a 1000- is the 600 too anemic / underpowered?

The F4I is a great bike. The factory lower cowls are about $325 each. Don't ask me how I know!

I'm guessing, did it happen to that 02 in your bike list?

UE he found a set of china ones complete for $500. The scheme is pretty cool.
