I picked it up today a 1998 CBR 600... very happy, a shame I had to ride it home in the rain though :whocares:

And now I am off for the weekend and cant ride it.... itching to get back home on monday :devil2:

Thanks everyone :niceone: Its not in perfect condition but its pretty good.

Sawyers has had it on and off for most of its life and have sold it 3 times!

Now I will be able to bring my Girlfriend on the next ride we go on :sunny:

At last years sprints I did 227.38km/h on the flying quarter and 11.58secs over the standing quarter mile on my one (which will be for sale soon).

It's gorgeous! Still made me sad when I saw that old RG of mine though - but life goes on and bigger bikes are always waiting for us!

Have heaps of fun on it, I love the colour scheme.
